This video I go over the Tapco Ak74 "Style" Muzzle Brake that has Made a comeback. Also a quick word on the archangel stock and SDS Imports USA made 10 round Magazines Compared to USA CSSpecs USA Made magazines that work. The Chinese 5 Rd magazines work in my saiga and Lynx.
Words on a Original AK74 Brake VS Tapco:
The original AK-74 brake has a large diameter expansion chamber at the rear that allow the gas to expand and form jets through the holes and slots.The original has three staggered holes in the expansion chamber that form jets to push the muzzle down and to the left to counteract muzzle climb up and to the right.The USA replica only has two on top, and since the gas can't expand, these holes don't give the jet effect as well.
The original has either zig-zag slots or curved slots that direct gas jets forward against the flange at the front of the brake to reduce recoil.
The USA brake has 4 holes that don't work as well.
