I just picked up a new to me Yugo M90NP

It came with the regular slant muzzle brake on it

I was thinking of changing the brake to the AK74 style

Do those help anything versus the standard slant brake?

I have looked and found there are two common manufactures of the 74 type brake which are Arsenal and Tapco

Besides the price difference,is there any really obvious performance difference between them?

Any further input on other  suggested mods/upgrades to this rifle?

The tapco 14mm type is a copy of the Com Bloc 24mm original. It doesn't brake as well (smaller expansion chamber) as the original. Now its only one example but The Tapco version was slightly more accurate on my old NHM91 than the 24mm "real" version was. I also had the pre Tapco 14mm brakes on my 556 Norincos -- worked and didn't look half bad.

Thanks for the input!

Any recommendations for an optic mount?

IMO the M90NP doesnt need a brake. I bought a 14x1LH A2 flash hider and have been completely happy.

If you're dead set on a brake, consider the Fighter 47 brake available at the AKOU store. It works wonderfully on the 7.62 AKs I have.

I advise against the Tapco 74 style "brake" because it does little to nothing for muzzle rise... save for adding a few ounces to the muzzle.

Any 26mm LH muzzle device will fit

You may be thinking of the M92 or even the M85.

My M90NP doesn't need a one. A regular flash hider works fine.
