The AK-74 type muzzle brake reduces felt recoil up to 70% and reduces muzzle climb up to 90%. This brake is of American design and is a copy in 7.62x39 caliber of the AK-74 brake. The brake screws on to threaded barrels and locks in place using the retaining pin. The brake reduces muzzle climb by directing gas upward through three gas ports. The recoil is diminished by four 45� gas ports which direct gas at a 45� angle away from the weapon and a contoured flat at the end of the brake directs gas sideways. The two gas streams cancel each other and absorb the force of recoil. The Bushmaster copy is one of the highest quality AK brake on the market today.  The fit and finish of the brake matches no other is of the highest quality.  The brake is black parkerized and is NOT chrome lined. Beware if you use corrosive ammunition as it may cause rust to form on the brake.  While the brake reduces muzzle climb it also significantly increases noise making ear protection a must. Bushmaster also offers a pin on type muzzle brake for non threaded or post-ban rifles. 

 

AK-47.net:  Rating:   Quality: 8,  Posted: 18-July-2000 Pros: The slanted design helps dramatically in controlling muzzle climb. Repeated shots are easier to control thus yielding greater accuracy.  Cons: The set screw version requires drilling and tapping of the rifle.  Set screw versions tend to fly off and look unattractive. Summery: If you get this type of brake go with the threaded version, anything else is a waist of time and money.                                        Submit Review
