AR47 Build on GWACS Armory CAV-15 MKII Lower

[Emptymag]

I wasn't even considering threads, my mistake

We have yet to determine if you made a "mistake"...

I think the standard ak thread is 14:1? can't remember you can always try to take the device of a 47 and see if it fits

[Hodgie]

Standard AK threads are 14x1 LH, the .30 cal AR barrels are going to be 5/8x24 for the threading.

Gotcha.
I'm finding some more stuff as I poke around and I'm learning more from the info tossed out in this thread so it's helping narrow some things down.

Initially I thought a muzzle device that was visually recognizable as "Russian" would be a cool "tie-in" to the caliber being used - something "different" than a typical AR15-looking muzzle device.
I considered an Ak74 brake for a split second, but the added length is a turnoff regardless of how effective it may be.


The Manticore Arms Nightbrake looks like a reasonable candidate.
It seems to work OK, the size is acceptable (not too big) and the price is around $50 (I think)




This is a decent "review". I can't find any vids of one on an AR chambered in 7.62x39

the 74 break is huge! I didn't realize just how big until I picked up a 74.

There's always the BCM Gunfighter, only down side is its in the $100.00 range.

CNC Warrior makes very good products at an affordable price. I have several of their 74 style brakes on my AK's and they work and look great.

Here are their .30 offerings.

I'll look into it.

I'm not opposed to spending more when the "more" includes more performance.
I would prefer to stay around $50/$60 max, but if a product has the right combo of effectiveness and appearance, I may consider it.

I have no regrets on spending over $100 ($110?) on my PWS CQB comp - none at all - it was money well spent.
I just don't think I NEED to spend that much on this particular device.

Speaking of, PWS has a unit for $100 as well.

You want an effective FH for around 50.00, none better than a Vortex. I use one on my 10" SCAR, no flash detected.

Not as concerned with flash on this rifle - I would lean more towards effective compensating/braking for keeping it on target and recoil reduction - the latter being less of a concern.

I know that in the price range I'm looking at, nothing will be good at "everything", but it seems the ones I've noted are acceptable and provide a little of each feature.

If your main concern is recoil mitigation then check out the Surefire Procomp 7.62. I have the 5.56 version on a 18" SPR build and it's excellent and very affordable.

Another good offering from strike industries.
