24MM AK MUZZLE BRAKE PLUS
24MM AK MUZZLE BRAKE SERIES

I’m looking for recommendations and so far the only ones that seem to do that would be the Krum break if it works as well for 5.45 or the Spike’s DnyaComp in 24mm.

24MM AK MUZZLE BRAKE PLUS

– Resistant to corrosives is a plus such as Chrome lined or Melonite coated

– It must reduce muzzle climb more than the factory break without adding weight (if it’s a tad over 3oz like 3.2oz that’s fine, but not like the SRVV Jet which is 6.4oz, more than double) I have the standard 24mm threading and I typically use corrosives.Īlso have you had a chance to compare it to the Spike’s DnyaComp (which looks to be similar to the Battle Comp): It flashes, but the shape and location seem much less noticeable to the shooter.Can you tell me if this muzzle break reduces the recoil on a 5.45 (SG元1 / AK-74) more than the factory chrome lined 74 style muzzle break? I just recently ordered an SRVV Jet break and although I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, I have done some drills and found that even though it’s only 3oz heavier (2x the stock weight), because it’s at the very end of the rifle it feels much more dramatic and I don’t like that added weight. While the AK-74 brake tends to vent flame out the sides through the two large ports, the NightBrake seemed to mostly contain the flash within itself with very little if any coming out of the smaller ports and some being directed out forward of the muzzle. The visible flash output seems to be roughly equal to that of the AK-74 brake but it is shaped differently. I should point out that this is a muzzle brake not a flash suppressor. I have tested the NightBrake with just over 600 rounds through a converted Saiga chambered in 7.62×39 and noticed that it significantly reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil versus a bare muzzle. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing since the AK-74 brake is very effective. You would have a hard time telling the difference between the two if you weren’t paying attention. It reduces recoil and muzzle rise at least as well as the AK-74 brake which means it keeps the muzzle quite level. The Manticore Arms NightBrake performs very well. The NightBrake will be inevitably compared to the AK-74 brake. It is considerably shorter and lighter than an AK-74 brake. This helps keep flash out of the shooter’s sight picture (more on flash later). It features 18 ports arranged radially in such a way that there are no ports that vent directly down or directly up. It is a very attractive muzzle device in terms of fit and finish.

The NightBrake is very, very nicely made in the USA (922R compliance) from 8260 steel that is hardened and finished with a black oxide finish that leaves it slightly shiny.

24MM AK MUZZLE BRAKE SERIES

Since the SGL series rifles and most other rifles with 24mm threads come from the factory with an AK-74 style muzzle brake and given the widespread use of the AK-74 style brake, it is only natural to compare and contrast it with the NightBrake. Muzzle devices in this thread pattern are in demand based on the popularity of the Arsenal SGL-21 and SGL-31 rifles which both have 24mm threads. The Manticore Arms NightBrake is a muzzle brake that is designed to be used with AKs with 24mm muzzle threads that are chambered in 7.62×39 or 5.45×39.

There is also a Type 84S birdcage flash hider in 5.66x45 that I will show below. To the right is a photo of ALL7 Chinese AK Brakes available. The Manticore Arms NightBrake looks right at home on this converted Saiga. Chinese AK-47 Muzzle Breaks, Polytech Muzzle Nut, Norinco 56 Slant, 84S Bird Cage Flash Hider, RPK Type 87S Break, Cone Flash Hider, Type 74 Muzzle Break, and Type 86S Bullpup Fish Lips.
