I have a Romanian SAR-1 with a bare muzzle. I'm just getting into IPSC/3-gun style shooting with this carbine (my first match was last week, had a blast) and need some schooling on 7.62x39mm slant brakes.
(1) How much do slant brakes really help with muzzle climb? Enough to be worth the trouble?
(2) Do they noticeably increase muzzle flash or concussion as viewed from the shooter's end?
(3) Where can I find a U.S.-made slant brake (to avoid 18 USC 922(r) problems) to fit a SAR-1?
(4) How much would it cost to have a gunsmith thread the muzzle to install it, and what do I need to know to make sure he gets it on straight?
I'd consider an AK-74 style brake, but don't really like the looks.
