![]() ![]() The Manticore Arms Night Brake gives the old reliable AKM a sleek, updated look. In the right lighting conditions, you can see the propellant gases venting up and outward from the NightBrake, proof positive that the brake is doing its job as designed. The smooth, push-back recoil the rifle now delivered contrasted significantly against to the formerly sharp recoil, and I was able to shoot as long as the light lasted without any discomfort at all. The increased comfort level was the greatest contributing factor to good shooting with the wire-stocked Maadi, in that I didn’t have to “brace for impact” every time I pulled the trigger. It was thus a lot more pleasant to shoot.Īs a bonus, accuracy improved as a result of the reduced felt recoil. The recoil of the rifle was more of a straight push back into my shoulder with the NightBrake, with a lot less upward movement of the rifle than I experienced with the old style slant brake. The first thing I noticed after a few rounds was that my jawline wasn’t being thwacked by the wire stock anymore.

Top view of the Manticore Arms Night Brake, showing the ports distributed across the upper portion of the device. With that in mind, I was very interested to see if the Night Brake would make a difference in the shooting characteristics and ultimately make this rifle more pleasant to shoot. I’ve used the traditional AKM slant brake on my Maadi rifle for several years, and while serviceable, it leaves a lot to be desired in the recoil reduction department, especially considering the fact that my rifle has a Romanian wire folding stock that tends to accentuate felt recoil. Once installed, the NightBrake only extends a little more than an inch and a quarter past the muzzle, and definitely adds a very aggressive, dare I say, tactical look to the old reliable AKM. The brake screwed right onto the muzzle threads by hand, and I needed no tools other than a small pin punch to hold down the muzzle detent while I tightened the brake down against the front sight base. Installing the NightBrake on my Maadi MISR-SA was a snap, and the silicon o-ring helped take all the play out of the brake, ensuring a snug fit with no rattling. Installation of the Night Brake on my AKM was as simple as turning a screw. made part, an important factor for those living “behind enemy lines” in states with strict “assault weapons” laws governing modifications and muzzle attachments. The NightBrake is clearly marked with “MB” on the underside portion, indicating that it is a 922r compliant U.S. The bottom center portion of the brake is un-ported to reduce dust kick up and muzzle signature. It also features good sized wrench flats that allow the user to tighten or remove the brake from barrels with less than perfect or heavily fouled muzzle threads.Īccording to the listing on the Manticore Arms website, the NightBrake has eighteen ports in the upper 270 degrees of the device which use the escaping propellant gases to reduce recoil and muzzle rise. This is unlike many other 14x1LH muzzle devices, which sometimes refuse to fully tighten and tend to rattle a bit after installation. Machined from 8620 steel bar stock and finished in a deep black oxide for a lifetime of use, the Night Brake comes with a high temperature silicon o-ring that allows you to snug the brake down tight with no wobble or play.
