View Full Version : Who make the best AK74 compensator
So who does makes the best AK74 compensator?
My barrel is 14x1 left threaded.
I am thinking I might go with this one

However the Tapco one is a lot cheaper.

One of the Romanian kits I am building will be a AK101 clone and I will probably be going with the Topco. I dunno if there is much difference. Tapco does pretty well with AK parts (besides the furniture and mags IMO)

I'm pretty sure that comp from Kreb's is a 22mm., that's why the adapter is pictured with it. If you had the threaded front sight base you could use a 22mm. adapter, if using the barrel threads go with 14x1, RPB has a nice one for $15.

The Krebs is a 24mm with a 14mm adapter. It's much nicer than the Tapco. It is US made and bored for 7.62mm. The 22mm brakes are Romanian or copies of Romanian 5.45mm brakes.There is a shortage iof the Romanian brakes because most were adapted to 5.56mm AR-15's.

Looks like Krebs is sold out.
Before the replica AK-74 style brakes were produced by other companies, Polytech included them on a very limited series of Legend Series milled AK's (along with a Polytech foregrip). To my knowledge, less than 100 of these equipped rifles were imported into the US before the '89 Importation Ban. I was lucky enough to buy one way back then. The muzzle break is one of the best designs for the AK. Muzzle climb / recoil is significantly reduced, but you'll also notice it's a wee-bit louder.
