I was talking to a gun nut friend of mine last night and mentioned to him that a recently purchased FAL had a muzzle brake that worked very well but was not on straight. The brake is slightly out of level. This is a private build rifle assembled from an Imbel receiver and an Imbel kit. My friend opined that the brake may have been installed off-kilter on purpose to make firing the rifle better for a right-hander (which I am). My friend stated that commercially made or rack-grade rifles have the brake installed at 12:00 but that a gun assembled by an individual for his personal use might have the top of the brake at 11:45 or 12:15 to compensate for right or left-handedness. This was new information for me. Any comments?
