thus elsewhere) it was made famous by the Krebs Custom. The knock-off part I purchased was WAY cheaper than both Beryl or Krebs levers, but is still a high quality one. Theoretically the installation does not require fitting, but in reality one must remem- ber that the Polish-converted semi-only AKs have a welded full-auto block, which sometimes gets in the way of the lever, requiring some individual fitting. Also, the bolt handle notch angle is a bit too tame (but on the other hand: if one makes it too aggressive, it would require both hands to release), so sometimes the bolt gets released from any small bump – even from just resting it aside on a bipod! The Compensator The original AK muzzle device (slanted nut) is so borderline efficient, that anything one puts instead would markedly improve the output. The compen- sator we were offered is rugged, has two baffles and additional holes on the top. Actually, we got three of these, of which one we were unable to screw on all the way – perhaps something was wrong with the thread. But anyway, it could be screwed on enough to let the muzzle thread latch rod catch, and it was working. Disassembly would take a vise and some brute force, but so far it's a keeper. It works very well, enhances the weapon's control, especially in rapid firing – double-taps or triple-taps. FIREARMS
