Hey, all - I've been lusting after a particular, individual SAR-2 AK-type rifle in 5.45X39, and upon CLOSE examination I see that this gun has had a FA Enterprises "AK-74-style" muzzle-brake installed on it. Thing is, the hole in the brake is .30 caliber, not .22 caliber.
My question is, can I expect this brake to actually perform its intended function of reducing recoil, or will it actually do nothing but make the gun louder when I shoot it? Granted, the 5.45X39 caliber doesn't have all that much recoil to begin with, but if this brake isn't good for anything besides looking neat, and if I can't remove it to install a proper unit in its place, I'm probably gonna have to pass on it...
So, help me make the right decision, people!
