Rather than destroying something someone else might want, unscrew the Tantal brake and sell/trade it for something that you can legally have on the end of it in the PRofCT.

High temp silver solder also permanently affixes a muzzle device, IIRC.

 

Story

Thanks for the reply. I have an all matching kit, to include the muzzle brake, so I had no intention of butchering an original one. I was going to buy a CNC Warrior copy to screw up. I hated grinding the bayonet lug off, but figured if I ever get free of Commie CT, I could have it repaired.

I had seen the muzzle nut you referenced, and thought it had possibilities. However, I really wanted some type of brake on the Tantal. While I would love to retain the original look, but maybe something else would work.

The CT State Police Weapons unit says that I can weld or silver solder the muzzle device on to be legal. I have no idea how to do the solder. I had a falling out with my welder, so I need to find someone else who can TIG this thing on!

 

Just my .2 cents.

I would find someone who could silver solder that thing on.
Its a lot easier to clean up if you ever move out of that occupied territory.

I was going to silver solder an AMD brake on my AMD-65 build, but then decided to wait and just do it
as an registered SBR.

But solder is going to be a lot easier and less destructive to clean up .......

Good luck with your build and remember to post some picts.

I agree that solder it the way to go. I just need to find someone who can do it (or learn to do it myself). I just don't want to wind up burning all the finish off, and screwing up the temper of the barrel.

Does anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to do this?

My other issue is that the Tantal brake doubles as a grenade launcher. Est verboten in the DRC (Commie CT). Sooo, I have to figure out a way to disable the launcher feature.

1. I swapped my Tantal brake with an AK74 brake, works just dandy.
2. I'd recommend knocking out the retaining pin and spring, remove that spiffy washer and set aside with the Tantal GL brake before you do the silver soldering.
3. Ask and ye shall receive.

I can solder it for you.

I would solder a sleeve onto it or turn it down a bit, either will change diameter so it is no longer a GLD.

 

If you dont want the Tantal brake you can get a 14 to 24mm adapter and use a 74 brake. The adapter will thread on and over the Tantal's extended barrel,and that part will be inside of the muzzle brake. The only downside is that the detent pin is lower that usual,but being it has to be permantly mounted,this will not be an issue.

 

Thanks for the input guys!

I think I may just get one of those repro 74 style breaks and attach it to the barrel. I just had to think what corrosive ammo will do to that threaded joint if I ever want to get it appart! Maybe I will just shoot non-corrosive thru the Tantal? :grin:

Or, since I have a lathe, I may just turn a sleeve to fit another Tantal brake. I have several barrels I have to have the brake permanently attached to, so I am debating doing it myself or sending them out.

Can anyone suggest a cool looking muzzle brake that will fit the standard threads? I screwed my AMD brake on it, and it doesn't look too bad, but the barrel nose stick thru most of it. I was thinking maybe one of those AK builder extended AMD brakes? :twisted:

 

I vote to disable a Wz88 brake, a million ways to do that. Anything else is gonna look weird on there to me. But in the end, the only guy you need to satisfy is yourself.

 

Why not one of those $20 muzzle nuts?

That would be way too easy! :goof:

I just want to put a muzzle brake on it.

This actually may have possibilities:

It would just depend on how far that darned Tantal barrel stuck into it!

 

That wont work. The threads and the muzzle extension are as long as the brake.
