| I have Bulgy Ak74 with the 24mm threads. Is there any other muzzle option to shorten the rifle? Maybe an A2 birdcage? Anything? |
|
I thought about the beer can brake, but I heard there was a major pressure change for a full length barrel, or is this just a myth? BTW its a 5.45x39 barrel.
ETA: Can I fire the rifle with the muzzle brake off? Will it harm the rifle at all? Can I simply purchase a nut at home depot to protect the threads? |

If you want short one of these will take you all the way down: http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?productid=16270&cat=273&page=1
Blast is worse than the flash hider but not as bad as the brake. BSW |

The "beer can" attachment is meant for the AKS-74U "Krinkov" because it does indeed act as a muzzle booster. In fact, that is the primary purpose of it. Supposedly it suppresses flash and reduces felt recoil better than the standard Krink conical muzzle booster as well. Bottom line, it will produce a gas pressure higher than your standard barrel length AK-74 was intended to take. Besides, it is basically the same length as a standard AK-74 compensator anyway. And yes, you can definitely shoot your AK-74 without any muzzle attachment and not have any issues. However, those 3 or so extra inches with the standard compensator are easily worth it in my opinion. It does a wonderful job of reducing felt recoil and muzzle climb. Plus it acts as a mini flash suppressor. If you are really that concerned about reducing length, you need to go this route anyway:

Shrike, man I would love to, beautiful rifle by the way, but the paperwork is a bit intimidating to me, not to mention all the restrictions on keeping it in the my possession at all times, and then the trust and all, plus the CLEO, pheww. The paper work is not bad at all. It is a little intimidating at first, but really not bad. I went the trust route using Quicken Will Maker (made the Trust in about 10-15 min) so I didn't have to go the CLEO, get fingerprints, or a picture. A Revocable Living Trust is definitely the way to go! Here is a fantastic website that pretty much walks you straight through the whole process; I followed his guide almost exactly! http://www.86th.org/?id=nfa-trust As for the responsibility of owning an SBR, as was mentioned above, you just have to basically be with it or be in the area where you can keep it under observation when it is not locked up. If you go the trust route, you can add other people as Grantors (if I remember the term correctly). That means if you added your wife, father, etc., they are as legally in control of the rifle as you are (meaning they can take it shooting or do what they want with it without you being there). The hardest part of the whole SBR ordeal, was definitely building the Krink. It took me much longer than it should have... but was worth it in the end. |

Contact SC-Texas here on the forum, he did my Revocable Living Trust when I went the SBR route for my 107UR and 5.45 build. He's good people and really takes the intimidation out of the whole process. Looking back if I'd have known it was a simple as it is I would have gotten into SBR's years ago. Z |

I bought a AK-105 booster from them and I believe it is a airsoft copy, the metal is really thin compared to my Krinkov conical brake. I should call them and ask them if it is. My barrel is still 16" so I can't test it, I am a little afraid of testing it anyway.
Has anyone asked them if those are real or airsoft copies they sell? Quoted:
