I am curious about muzzle brakes changing the point of impact (particularly with the ak). Would changing from a slant brake to a flash hider or vise versa mean the rifle would have to be re-zeroed?
well its not rifled so i wouldnt think so
I tried a brake, a thread protector, and a flash hider on my AK, a Arsenal SLR107FR with AK-74 type brake. The brake and thread protector gave me the smallest groups and the least shift. The flash hider opened the groups up considerably.
Nope, can't change a thing. The projectile is long gone before gas venting can affect it.
Just be sure that the bore on the brake is in alignment with the bore o the gun, a friend of mine put one on an SKS that was misaligned so much that the bullet actually hit the end of the brake, that caused the POI to be way off.
