I find a lot of forums listings on this exact topic, but nothing recent. The problem is that some of the solutions people proposed years ago are no longer available. I figured I would report what I have found and see what other solutions others have come up with.
I want to remove the grenade launcher off of my Yugo SKS and replace it with something more functional like a flash hider or muzzle brake (preferred). The softer I can make the kick (already super light) the better. I want to make it a cheap-ammo-eating training rifle for the kids/wife.
I'd prefer to get a threaded muzzle break to install as the original did. However, I am open to hearing other solutions that have worked well for others.
1) Tapco had a yugo muzzle brake that has been discontinued. It kept the look of the original yugo and can still be found on ebay for about $75.
2) Rick Miller Muzzle Brakes for the yugo seemed to be a really good solution a few years ago. But Rick appears to have relocated from Oregon to Georgia a few years ago and disappeared off the web. If anyone knows where he opened up shop, I'd love to get a replacement muzzle brake like I have seen from him.
3) CNCWarriors has one solution that would work on a Yugo SKS. They have a VZ58 muzzle brake that mimics the typical AK slanted muzzle brake. It fits the 14x1 RH thread of the Yugo SKS barrel.
4) CNCWarriors also has an adapter that converts the 14x1 RH to a 24x1.5 RH thread. Then that could be mated to a Bulgarian Brake that CNCWarriors also sells.
From what I have been reading, the VZ58 has the same 14x1 RH twist thread on the barrel. So there might be some options there.
I look forward to reading about solutions others have come up with. I'm not looking to re-invent the wheel. Thanks.
