Hello! Yes, it has been a while since I’ve posted.
What have I been doing? Ordering ammo when I can. Yes, ammo purchases during Covid times can be expensive, but I’ve been buying when I see good buys, even if the purchase is limited in ammo count.
I also occasionally purchase gun parts. Two weeks ago, I ordered the CNC Warrior 4-pc muzzle brake for my AK-P. Specifically, I bought part number 23901, since it will fit on the muzzle threads of the AK-P (although they also sell adapters). I ordered it but didn’t expect it to ship for a long while since these are typically on backorder. I received it earlier this week.
One thing I’ve noticed is that, while the OEM krink booster fits without issue, the 4-pc brake is shallow-throated…it will NOT screw all the way down. It gets maybe 3/4ths down then stops. Pics and a quick video are below.
I took the 4-pc brake apart then screwed it down again, then looked down the inside of the brake (for the safety nazis, the bolt was removed beforehand)…I could see the muzzle end of the barrel hitting the backstop of the threads on the brake. You will not be able to screw down this brake to the point that the retaining pin latches into place…far from it.
I’m not sure how to secure the brake. I’m not going to use red threadlocker, as I don’t want a near-permanently fixed brake (I will probably be trying other brakes or going back/forth between the krink and 4-pc brakes).
UPDATE – 1/1/2021: I sent the below pictures to CNC and asked them what could be the issue. They’ve provided me with an RMA. They want me to send it back. I’ll send it back tomorrow. Someone on the PSA FB group told me that they had a similar issue and that they had to be provided another brake. I should receive a new brake soon.
UPDATE – 1/17/2022: I resolved the issue and have mounted a slightly smaller CNC Warrior 4-pc brake.
