The LBE Unlimited AK Slant Brake delivers effective muzzle rise control and recoil reduction for AK-pattern rifles. This US-manufactured muzzle device features the classic slant brake design that redirects propellant gases upward and to the right, countering the natural tendency of AK rifles to climb during rapid fire.
What Makes This Different
Unlike imported alternatives, this slant brake meets all US manufacturing standards and regulations. The precision-machined steel construction ensures consistent gas redirection patterns that standard stamped brakes cannot match. Testing shows up to 35% reduction in felt recoil compared to standard flash hiders, with measurable improvement in follow-up shot speed.
Key Features
- Reduces muzzle rise by redirecting gases upward at 45-degree angle
- CNC-machined from 4140 steel with phosphate finish for corrosion resistance
- Standard 14x1 LH threading fits most AK-74, AK-105, and similar variants
- Single-port design minimizes blast directed toward shooter
- US-manufactured to ensure compliance with all federal regulations
- Heat-treated steel construction rated for sustained full-auto fire
- Wrench flats machined for secure installation with standard tools
Range performance shows consistent grouping improvement during rapid fire sequences. The upward gas deflection effectively counters muzzle climb without creating excessive side blast that affects neighboring shooters. Competition shooters report faster target transitions, while tactical users appreciate the maintained zero during extended firing sessions. The phosphate coating resists fouling buildup and maintains performance in adverse weather conditions.
