I bought this thinking is could be adapted to my Saiga 7.62 x 39 withut much work. I WAS WRONG. Had to remove the front sight and cut the sleeve off the front. Then discovered I could have done it a little easier using a tubing or pipe cutter. It was a huge pain to get the sight off then back on. Finally got the brake modified and pinned on and it looks good. Haven't tried it out. Do not buy unless you are pretty handy or have one of the ready fit guns described.

I bought this muzzlebrake but i ws not very happy with it. After i cut a slot in the bottom of it so that it would clear the cleaning rod. The brake fit tight but the counterbore in the center that aligns the muzzlebrake was off center so it made it crooked. Not the best muzzlebrake but CTD offers better ones at close to the same great price.

Purchased this and it will not fit my SA-85M. Tried everything I could think of and it will not go on. I found someone to thread the barrel for me so I will just put a screw on muzzle brake on.

Put one on my Norinco MAK90 and it was a very precise easy fit. Took 15 min taking my time. My MAK is the one with what looks like very fine threads on the barrel but what they are is grooves to increase the surface area and aid in cooling. I think it helped but it had been a while since I fired this gun and put the brake on without testing first. To the best of my memory it helped quite a bit.

Put one of these on a Norinco MAK. Took about two minutes to install. Used a 1/8" punch to drive out the pin. Tapped on the brake with a plastic mallet and drove in the longer pin. Fit nice and snug.

It was very difficult to get the pin out. I recommend using the WD40 to soak it overnight and then hammer the frack out of it. After, slide in (use rubber mallet) to position it and re-install using the longer pin. Perfect fit for MAK 90. Oh, I haven't shot it yet because it's too cold outside. p.s. I wished they made pin removal plate like AR15.

Ordered this for my Norinco Ak-47. It's so far from any kind of a decent fit, I can't believe it. Even with careful filling and using a dremel, it still doesnt fit. Very dissapointed.

This brake will not fit a Romanian AK-47 with an unthreaded barrel. Also the one I got was bored off center, would have been extremely dangerous to shoot. Very poor quality workmanship.

Ordered this for my MAK-90. Easy to install. Snug fit, make sure you don,t forget to swap the pins out to keep it in place. Put several hundred rounds through after without any problems

Ordered one of these for my MAK-90 since it said it would fit a chinese AK-47. It did not fit very well at all, it was way too tight, and ended up scratching the blue off the tip of my barrel and off the sides of the front sight as well. When I finally got it to line up with the hole in the front sight after banging hard on it with a mallet, there was still a noticeable gap in front of the sight base. It also looked every so slightly crooked as if a round might touch one side of it, so I knocked it back off and threw it away. Now I have to re-blue the front of my barrel. Very disappointed...

I would have given this a 5 bullet rating but I did have to do a little bit of filing to get this to fit on my MAK90. Not much of a problem but it took me about 15 minutes of careful filing to get it to slide on with a bit of tapping with a rubber mallet. Looks good now that it is on and pounding the old pin out of the front sight wasn't much of a chore after putting some penetrating oil on it the night before the install. Haven't shot it yet so I cant report on how well it works but it went on straight and there is definitely no chance of it coming off. Now for a quick tack weld and all set to go.

I read the reviews on this part over and over, and because it only had a 2 1/2 bullet rating, deliberated over my choice. In the end, the guys that said it fits Russians and Chinese (MAK-90) perfectly stuck out in my head the most. Having a MAK90 I ordered it with my fingers crossed. I just installed and shot it tonight and it is PERFECT!!! The install literally took me 60 seconds with the right tools (1/8 brass punch & rubber mallet). I went out back and put thirty rounds through her and she purred. GREATLY reduced muzzle climb. If you have a MAK-90 don't hesitate! It fits snug and precise and looks cool to boot!

Bought this for my MAK-90. The biggest problem was getting the front sight pin out but afterwards there was no problem putting it on or getting the pin through. looks great!

I bought this to be used on a MAK 90. The muzzle brake went on very snug and is there securely. Shot about 30 rounds through it afterward with no problems.

DID NOT FIT. I have a standard Romanian AK-47, flat barrel, nonthreded. this muzzle did not fit! i'm a little disapointed.. but at least i didn't spent a lot of money on it...

I purchased one for my .223 NHM-90. The install turned out to be work intensive. Leaving my rifle "as is" would have been just fine but it's on and solid now.

Didn't really think that it would fit on my MAK-90, but I bought it anyway. After punching out the pin on the front sight, it slid in with a little work. Fits very snug and shoots really well. For the money, I think it's a great alternative to a permanet screw in muzzle break.

I would have given this part zero bullets if they'd let me. The part was an easy if a little sloppy fit on my MAK-90, but was good tight fit when pinned. But it was visibly crooked once installed! The muzzle on the brake was visibly out of alignment with the bore and did not/would not line up no matter what I did. Very unsafe. After several unsuccessful attempts to get a proper fit and alignment, I took it off and threw it away. Could be that the pin hole on my front sight post is not square, but I'm thinking the it is the quality control or lack thereof of the part that is the issue. This is a classic case of you get what you pay for.

Fits my MAK-90, WELLMADE EASY TO INSTALL FIT IS GREAT

after refabbing this break to finally fit. it was a big waste of time. i did not notice any differance in the recoil nor the muzzle jump at all. i took it off and threw it out.

i have the russian saiga 7.62x39. it will not even come close to fitting without some major re-fabricating. it is way to big for the barrel, and it won't even go back as far as where the sight is pinned on..i fabricate for a living, so i'll have to cut the coller off,make a new one and weld it back on and then it should work good. a lot of work for something that they said would fit a russian model

Excelent brake, fits very snug and pins in place very nicely on my norinco. pin could be of higher quality(recomend set with brass punch to avoid mushroming) but that was no big deal to replace. I think this is a quality product at an good price. and for those of you who can't read(AK lover) this is not ment for an AK 74, but that should go without saying.

I tried this on a MAK 90. It was a good, tight fit but the notch didn't line up with the front sight pin (either one) so I didn't pin it. My first shot blew the thing off and about 15 yards down range. It did give a good, heavy feel to the barrel though. Too bad there was no way (short of drilling another hole in the front sight base) to secure it.

I would have to agree with most buyers on this one. This ak47 pin on muzzle break cant be for an ak? I have a russian 7.62-39 and it was so big it went over my barrel, and i could not find someone that was able to make it work! I took apart my ak, tried many ways just to make it fit and there was still no way, i dont know how others have made it work in the past,cause it doesnt stand for an ak47? I sent it back and had to settle for the custom flash hider. I wouldnt recomend this for anybody with an ak.

I ended up getting a muzzle brake for my ak-47 (wasr-10). It will fit with the cleaning rod if you put a cut in the bottom to fit around the rod. I chose to shave my rod housing off to just slide it on. The first time I shot it it got a little wobbely but I just drilled a hole in the bottom and put in a set screw now it works perfect. I have a bipod on my gun and when I shot rapid fire it would start jumping. With the brake, it just kicks back a little bit. You can still keep target in sights if your good. No jump at all. I even helped a friend put the same thing on his sks. It fit pretty good with set screws. If you want to improve your accuracy and reduce recoil I highly suggest getting a brake.

I bought this item for a Romanian SAR-1 figuring that if didn't work, I was only out ten bucks, compared to the cost of threading the barrel. OD is 0.875", OD around FSB is 1.00". OAL is 3.41". Width of FSB cut is 0.482". Bore diameter is 0.392". ID (muzzle) is 0.574". Supplied extended FSB pin OD is 0.119". They aren't joking when they say "Fits Russian and Chinese guns". As far as "will fit others with minor modifcations" goes, there is no cut in the bottom of the brake to allow room for the bottom of the front sight block (FSB) of the SAR-1. Even if there were, it wouldn't be safe to mount the brake that way (short of welding) as recoil could cause the brake to rotate upward around the pin, misaligning the brake with the bore. So if you have an SAR-1, pass on this one and thread the barrel. Otherwise, the quality of this brake appears to be very nice, so if you do happen to have a Russian or Chinese AK that it will fit on, it should work out quite nicely for you.

I don't now who's idea it was to say this is for a AK becuse it an"t. I tride to put this on my AK 74 and it will not fit, for one thing it is to big around and it will not slide over the end of the cleaning rod even with the rod removed it still won't work. I even went so far as to take it to a gunsmith and he said he had no idea how it could possibly fit, we also tride to fit it on a standerd AK 47 with no luck.
