It flashes, but the shape and location seem much less noticeable to the shooter. While the AK-74 brake tends to vent flame out the sides through the two large ports, the NightBrake seemed to mostly contain the flash within itself with very little if any coming out of the smaller ports and some being directed out forward of the muzzle. The visible flash output seems to be roughly equal to that of the AK-74 brake but it is shaped differently. I should point out that this is a muzzle brake not a flash suppressor. I have tested the NightBrake with just over 600 rounds through a converted Saiga chambered in 7.62×39 and noticed that it significantly reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil versus a bare muzzle. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing since the AK-74 brake is very effective. You would have a hard time telling the difference between the two if you weren’t paying attention. It reduces recoil and muzzle rise at least as well as the AK-74 brake which means it keeps the muzzle quite level. The Manticore Arms NightBrake performs very well. With this adapter, you can use AK74 type muzzle devices with 24mm threads. This adapter fits on the end of a standard 14-1LH threaded AK muzzle and adapts it up to the modern Russian 24mm thread design. The NightBrake will be inevitably compared to the AK-74 brake. This is perfect for using our AK-104 booster in AK-74/AK-100 Detent in 14mm threaded rifles and pistols.
It is considerably shorter and lighter than an AK-74 brake. This helps keep flash out of the shooter’s sight picture (more on flash later). It features 18 ports arranged radially in such a way that there are no ports that vent directly down or directly up. It is a very attractive muzzle device in terms of fit and finish. The NightBrake is very, very nicely made in the USA (922R compliance) from 8260 steel that is hardened and finished with a black oxide finish that leaves it slightly shiny.
24mm ak muzzle brake series#
Since the SGL series rifles and most other rifles with 24mm threads come from the factory with an AK-74 style muzzle brake and given the widespread use of the AK-74 style brake, it is only natural to compare and contrast it with the NightBrake. Muzzle devices in this thread pattern are in demand based on the popularity of the Arsenal SGL-21 and SGL-31 rifles which both have 24mm threads. The Manticore Arms NightBrake is a muzzle brake that is designed to be used with AKs with 24mm muzzle threads that are chambered in 7.62×39 or 5.45×39.

24mm ak muzzle brake full#
I run a simple three-prong on my Vepr that I bought for 7 bucks from Northern gun parts, looks like the old original M-16 flash hider, works fine at hiding flash, and actually provides some braking ability.īut bottom line: The AK round is easy enough for children to handle the recoil, it doesn't do shit to a full grown man, i've had someone video me with high-speed camera shooting an AK on several occasions now because we were curious about this very subject, and even with NO muzzle device there is almost no perceptable muzzle rise, nor rearward movement of my upper body except for right at the point of contact with the buttstock and that was less than an inch or so.įucking Tapco slot brake will actually drive the muzzle down, damn thing works great, try it for keeping mag dumps on-target, it's a hoot.The Manticore Arms NightBrake looks right at home on this converted Saiga. 24mm FSB & AK-74 Muzzle Brake Woes 24mm FSB & AK-74 Muzzle Brake Woes.
Simplest still works best for the most part. Pshaw.still have yet to see one of these expensive brakes do anything better than a Tapco slot brake will do, it's marketing hype, muzzle devices have been around now for centuries, and they have tried every imaginable design.
