[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Muzzle break

So I recently noticed that my slant break is loose, way loose, I went to tighten it and the break would have to do almost a full revolution to match up with the pin. I tried and started bottoming out on the front sight post before I got there and decided that was prob far enough before I started damaging the rifle. Its still about a 1/4 turn off... What is the correct placement for a slant anyways and how tight should it be? I would imagine the slope would want to break down allowing the gas to rise so the barrel would not jump right?

The breaks should be at an angle and loose. IIRC they push the rifle down and to the left.

So they are broke?

Or do you mean muzzle brakes?

I don't understand why the break would be loose? Is the diameter of the break large enough that it does not effect trajectory at all??

Breaks are very bad, particularly at the muzzle. Brakes, on the other hand are always loose on AK's, no biggee.

They dont screw all the way back. There is a spring loaded pin protruding from the front of the front sight base that hold the brake in place. A slant muzzle brake is supposed to slant to the right and have play in it. Thats how all of em are
