AKM factory slant muzzle brake

The angled slant compensator that ships on the AKM and most stamped-receiver 7.62x39 Kalashnikovs. The cut face vents gas up and to the right to counter the muzzle climbing that way for a right-handed shooter. Threads onto the M14x1 LH muzzle and is held by the front sight base detent.

Which firearms take this part

Studio

Every firearm this threads onto, resolved

Not a list the maker typed out: the answer comes from the interface this part needs and the mounts each firearm exposes, so it stays right when either one changes.

  • The reverse lookup on every part in the catalogue
  • Interface standards, platforms and fit overrides
  • The same answers through the API and the MCP server

Requires a signed-in GunSpec account on the Studio plan. The answer is computed per firearm, so it is not part of the public record.
