specifically, is there any? I've got a muzzle nut on one of my SARs that i threaded (i botched the job rather badly and the nut is the only device short enough to not betray the asymmetry of my threading) and to be honest, i kind of like the retro muzzle nut look and am considering putting one on another of my AKs as well. i'd be replacing an AKM style slant compensator. It got me to thinking though..
I had heard before that a slant compensator only counteracts muzzle rise to any noticible degree during full auto fire (not having any experience with select fire AKs i can't really comment on it's effectiveness in that role either, but I had heard it wasn't that great) and it provides little to no actual advantage (aside from looking cool) on a typical semi-auto AK. Is that correct?
