    Muzzle Brake Recommendations for AK

    I'm getting a SAM 7 SF this week and would appreciate recommendations for best muzzle brake. My chief goal is minimizing felt recoil and controlling muzzle rise, etc.

    Recommendations please.

    The Arsenal SAM7 has 24x1.5mm muzzle threads, so keep that in mind.

    I'd love to get a VENOM for it, but no can do due to muzzle thread.

    Hard to beat the standard ak74 style brake for the 24mm threads
    Looks like k var is out of stock on the 7.62 version, might have to hunt a bit to find one

    That would be my suggestion as well.

    My three...

    The real AK74 brake with the internal blast chamber is a marvel of fluid dynamic engineering. The Tapco version, not so much.

    Check Definitive Arms Fighter 24. Good balance of blast, flash & control.

    The tapco version is complete junk. I had baffle strikes with mine as it was flopping around every shot.

    Real ones are very effective in 5.45/5.56 at least.

    Probably call them ask that it's bored out for .30.

    I have a fighter brake on my AK, and it was a pretty nice addition. I haven't messed around with anything else, but for the price, it was actually surprisingly good. Definitely cleaned up the blast and recoil as compared to a bare muzzle (mine had a welded thread protector, no slant brake).

    Manticore Arms has some nice offerings in 24mm, however they seem to focus more on flash signature reduction than dampening felt recoil.

    Don't mean to hijack but I believe we can compile a good thread since I'm looking at 24mm thread devices too. I have an SLR107cr I just picked up and am not 100% decided on muzzle device either. I'm think either the AK74 brake or the Bulgarian 4pc. Does anyone have experience with both?
