NcStar SKS Short Muzzle Brake/Pin-On (AMSKS)

 (11 customer reviews)

I bought this muzzle brake for two reasons; to reduce recoil and because it looks cool. It arrived in a thin plastic bag. The bag was already coated with a thin film of rust, as was the part. I had difficulty attaching it. Some of this is because my hand-me-down SKS does not have a perfect muzzle. Some of it is because the part is just slightly too small when it hits the widened barrel under the front sight post.

I still like the way it looks.

I think it will reduce bounce.

I'm deathly afraid it will cause horrendous rusting on an otherwise rust-free weapon, and I'm not sure I can remove it, pin or no pin.

Edit: I took a Dremel to my rifle and removed the metal burrs on the barrel, and used a hammer to tap this product on. It then seated properly in place. It still leaves rust on anything I touch it with.

This item is milled not cast and fits perfectly. It is designed to fit with the original sight by sliding on the muzzle end. It is secured by removing the original pin securing the sight and bayonet lug to the muzzle and using the replacement (longer) pin that comes with the product. I recommend removing the old pin first with a punch, though I've seen the old pin removed by pushing (hammering) it through with the new pin.

I hate 2 admit I bought this thing cause it looked cool on the end of my buds SKS.... Don't know if it does anything or not & I dont care. Put a thin coat of black heat resistant silicone on the end of the barrel b4 U slide it on... When it dries....it wont move. Don't forget the pin. Drive it out w/ a punch. 5 min install
