I have watched video upon video of different AK brakes.  What do you consider to be the best break to compensate for recoil and muzzle rise for the 7.62?

I like the Tapco Razor Brake.

I like the brake that came on my SGL's.



Seems to work great.

You're probably going to get a lot of differing opinions on the subject.





I'm partial to the J-Tac47.  Aim is  a good source for them (when they have them in stock).

I've fired the slant and the AK74 style on an AK47. The AK74 style brake.

The Razr is a good newer offering.....the old standby '74 brake is one of the best on the planet imho.

There is no way in hell that thing offers any braking properties.

The AK74 style brake and the J-Tac47 work great.

Primary Weapons Systems FSC47-great cost to performance ratio

AMD-65 "Snake Brake"-best bang for your $ but enhances muzzle flash

Battle Comp AKBC-reviews show this to be as good or slightly better than the FSC47 but very $$$$


The above are all for 14mmLH threads.

I am waiting for th  Manticore Night Brake. It  should be available soon in 14mm.

That's more of a flash hider than a muzzle brake.

Relevant to my interests. Just built an AMD-65 hybrid yesterday. Have the Snake Brake from my kit and a Jtac-47 on the way.

Solar Tactical F.A.S.T. brake

I ran this next to the JTAC-47 and the Solar Tactical brake kept the muzzle flat while the JTAC pushed it down on each shot.

That looks like a pretty cool brake, kinda like a Surefire MB556K in a way. I'll definitely have to give that a try.

I'd love to have a CL 7.62 "74 brake in 24mm.

Or a BC if/when they come out with a 24mm version.

For now, I'll keep the stock SGL

PWS..... FSC47, I have one and really like it.  The Jtac looks good too (nice and short).  I didn't like the AMD brake, has anyone used the Manitcore brake (actually used?)?

It looks like it will be loud with lots of side blast.

I did not notice a difference between F.A.S.T. compensator noise level and the 74 style brake, either as a spectator or as the shooter.
Maybe the JTAC-47 is designed for full-auto application.

keep in  mind tapco sells a brake that looks like a 74 brake, but its not the same thing........not even close.
a original 74 style brake is hard to beat

Well, effectiveness of a brake is really directly relative to the sound(=gas pressure) it deflects towards the sides and rear. So better the brake, more noise to the shooter.
