I cut an 11degree target crown on the muzzle because… it was already in the lathe and apparently 11 degrees is the magic accuracy number.
I measured the fresh cut barrel and noted that I needed a 2.20” muzzle device for the proper length. I’m shooting for 16-2/16”
Try to clean all excess and torque the barrel nut. Hang the upper muzzle down and leave it over night.
Now you can re pin the upper and lower and enjoy!
I made one for @MikeBlack47 for his AK47. He wanted one that didn’t make people next to him on the firing line def, so I angled the ports slightly forward. Making a brake
Mike in return put up the videos of it performing.
Yes the red dot does co witness with the iron sights. It is a 1/3 co witness so the lower 1/3 of the red dot has the iron sights. This makes for a much less congested sight picture, and I highly recommend it if your using a fixed front sight with a red dot.
As always @switchpod wonderful work
I have been wanting to further my lathe skills but have been so swamped with work latley and family stuff it’s been in the back burner
