I would like to have a gunsmith modify my permanently attached muzzle brake to control the muzzle rise of my romanian AK.
A little info: It's got a 12" barrel with a 5" muzzle brake welded on at the gas block/front sight. It has 12 ports, with three ports at 3, 6, 9, and 12 O'clock. AK's tend to recoil up and to the right (hence the usual slant brake), but I'd like mine to recoil straight back so I can do double taps and actually hit something with the second shot.
My idea is to have a gunsmith fill in the bottom ports and one or two of the left ports to combat muzzle flip. So, if it was your job to do, how would you go about it? What would you fill the ports with (weld, braze, etc.)? How would you finish up the job so the inside was smooth (same ID as barrel OD)?
Perhaps there is a way I could do this myself without adversely effecting accuracy. I am mechanically inclined, like to tinker with guns, and was a mig welder for a time. Ashamed to admit this, but I even pondered using JB weld! LOL!
