The RAS47, for some reason, as longer threads than most other AKs. Speaking of threads, there is something I will mention, specific to the rifle I used. This spacing works pretty well and I was able to get the SR47 timed perfectly so that it screwed all the way down to the front sight base, with no exposed thread gap. It has two indexing points, at 12 and 6 o’clock. There is absolutely no perceptible change in weight or balance when you attach this brake. It’s great for people who want the shortest possible length without hiring a smith to chop your barrel, push your front sight back and then pin/weld a muzzle device. I love the small footprint of this brake. It’s 1.2 inches long and weighs a scant 2 ounces. It’s made of 4140 steel and melonited for a deep black finish. The SR47 is a traditional short brake – a single baffle on each side. Author’s note: Before anybody comments on the recent controversy regarding EOTech sights, let me just say this particular optic has been with me since 2008, survived a total of 26 months in Iraq and countless rounds since then with no loss of zero or parallax shift. Ammunition was Red Army Standard brass-cased FMJ. Optic is an EOTech 512 on a Midwest Industries side rail mount. It was configured as shown in photos with mostly Magpul furniture (save the VLTOR stock tube) and magazines.
The base rifle used for testing was a Century Arms RAS47 stamped receiver AK in 7.62x39mm. Compensator designs usually call for vents/ports spaced between 10 and 2 o’clock on the muzzle, as opposed to the aforementioned 9 and 3 lateral baffles.Ĭheck out the video below to see how the SR47 and Synergy Comp look through night vision! The result is a rifle that shoots “flatter” if not necessarily “softer”. You may still feel the same push into the shoulder-pocket but the muzzle-and your sight picture-will not jump as much as they normally might. These baffles may be angled slightly to pull the gun forward slightly, softening that “push” or “bump” you feel in your shoulder.Ī compensator’s primary purpose is to reduce muzzle rise. Traditional brakes are pretty easy to spot by their large silencer-style baffles typically positioned at 3 and 9 o’clock. See what I mean about being fuzzy?Ī muzzle brake is designed to reduce perceived recoil – the gun’s rearward movement into the shooter. Although, there are a bunch of devices that perform both functions. It’s a concept that has always felt kind of fuzzy to me and, technically, the terms are not interchangeable.
They were kind enough to send us two: the SR47 brake and the AK Synergy Comp.įirst, let’s talk about the difference between a brake and a compensator. SLR Rifleworks, refusing to give up the cutting edge, has entered the game with a number of AK-specific accessories, including muzzle devices. It looks amazing on the gun as well.SLR Rifleworks SR47 and Synergy Comp Review To put into perspective, I'd say about 35% of reduction in recoil. I installed this brake on my PSAK and there is a HUGE noticeable difference in felt recoil compared to my original slant brake. Posted by JAE KYUNG HYUN on Aug 26th 2020 Don't waste money on an expensive one, order this one now. The break greatly reduced recoil and as an added benefit, it looks pretty cool too. The whole experience with Midwest Industries from the super fast shipping and the quality of this product, I would give it an A++. I read the reviews and ordered this muzzle break and it surpassed my expectations. Posted by Michael Holcombe on Nov 2nd 2020 It does make it a bit louder! Excellent product and excellent price Noticed a big difference with recoil and muzzle climb being reduced. Installation is simple and it does exactly what it states. Now it feels like my 223/556 AR has more recoil than my AK. Swapping to this muzzle brake drastically reduced the recoil to a point that it literally surprised me on how much of a difference a good brake can make. Would have been nice if the bayonet worked with this brake but no big deal.
It's a little bit louder and has a lot more blast but over all well worth it for what you gain out of it. A lot less muzzle rise over the stock Arsenal 2 chamber brake. Grouping decreased dramatically! Roughly 5 1/2in spread to 2in - 2 1/2in spread, seems to be made well. Very slick design, Noticed a difference right off the bat. Can’t tell you if it does anything to help keep the barrel down or how it disperses the flash. Looks like a well made brake, screwed on easily.
