The AK-47 and all it’s variants are great rifles, especially when you add one simple and affordable mod. A muzzle brake can make a huge difference with the AK-47. The 7.62×39 round and the AK’s long-stroke piston design can make for a pretty good thump. While it’s not overly harsh, it’s quite a bit more than the AR-15. A good muzzle brake can help tame the AK’s recoil as well as help with faster follow-up shots. One great benefit of the AK is how easy it is to install a muzzle brake, just press the detent and twist it off.
A good muzzle brake doesn’t have to break the bank, below is a list of the best low-priced budget friendly AK-47 muzzle brakes.
