My variant rifle has a bare/naked barrel like I'm sure many of yours have. I have seen a slant brake here or there on some of your pictures here at the Forum but I never see anyone here with a picture of a variant rifle with this type of compensator. If I thread, attach and pin this type of compensator to my rifle will the rifle be legit in NJ? Will I draw unwanted attention? I of course will have it permanently pinned, that is without question.

U mean the break doesn't really make a difference with "Russian style" rifles ?

I find staying on target to be not too bad with mine.. the round doesn't really create a ton of recoil or muzzle rise.. but since I have not shot one with a brake it is hard to say for real.. one of the most basic brakes available for an AK (the slant brake) is cut the way it is to counter muzzle rise so it must do something.. but keep in mind that is likely to counter the rise on a full auto weapon.. it would be logical to assume it would reduce rise on semi auto as well.. but if you have ever shot a full auto weapon they do tend to get a little more out of control so the benefits in semi auto may be minimal at best...
