What would y'all recommend to replace a slant brake to reduce flash? I'm not needing a brake, and seeing as I have night sights on my AKMS, I'd like to be able to utilize them with a reduced fireball.
I've heard good things about the PKM Short. Does anybody here have one? |

Does anybody here have one? The Krebs does a great job; it's more expensive than the PKM short though.

http://www.robertrtg.com/ak.html has several different types if you're looking for a particular style.
Manticore Arms Night Shroud or Smith Enterprise Vortex are both pretty good, YHM's Phantom is another one. Go on youtube and search out reviews for the flash hider(s) you like best to see how they compare. |

What about Surefire?

I went with the PKM Short. http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z341/GrinPhotoDump/1104130923e_zps507419fa.jpg I'll do what I can to try to get some video of it in use; I need to see if there are any members near me with a 120fps camera. nice |

I was quite surprised at how well the Tapco AR type AK birdcage flash suppressor did when I did some night testing of some AK muzzle devices.
tire iron channel - AK muzzle devices - flash testing I am generally not a huge Tapco fan - but this shows that you don't always need to spend a lot of dough to get a good performer. Hope this helps, cheers tire iron |
