| The Russian picture thread got me to wondering, how come they rooskies didn't switch the flash suppressor on their Ak's to the design used on the AN94, that snail shell contraption? That thing also suppresses much of the sound from what I read. |

AK 74 has the threads attached front site. The threads, or the whole site would need to be replaced. Then the barrel will need to be threaded to accommodate the AN94 muzzle brake, if that's how it even attaches. It's just speculation on my end b/c I have no clue how they have it set up. It could very well be an integral part of the front site also.... ETA: used my google-fu and found this:  so the barrel is threaded for the device, and it attaches to the front site also, so you would need both pieces. Looking at removal of front site from current AK74s, thread the barrel, new AN94 front sites attached, comp attached. There's also the possibility that the barrel diameter is different on the AN94 also. The site may also be taller. It may require a redesign of the comp to even work. |
