Hey guys I just noticed a large problem on my AK when I went to the range. Using a slant muzzle brake on my WASR 10/63 with a 4x POSP scope I can usually get 2 inch groups at 100 yards with wolf ammo however.. I saw an AK74 style brake for AK47's that reduced recoil and muzzle climb more efficiently than the slant brake so I decided to pick one up. I removed the slant brake and replaced it with the AK74 brake and it fit nicely. The next time I went to the range I decided to see how the brake worked. My scope was still zeroed for 100 yards and I had changed NOTHING except the muzzle brake. I shot 5 rounds and decided to see how I did through the spotter scope. The paper was unscathed. Upon further investigation.. My shots were in the DIRT at 50 yards. I shot one more to make sure and the shot hit the dirt again. I have the slant brake back on again because the scope does not have enough adjustment to even get close to being on target... so my question is: What made the POI change so much by attaching that brake? It is a heavy hunk o' metal but I never suspected that much change. Can anyone offer some answers as to why my POI was so far off?
