oOghostriderOo 14 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I understand that the GK-01 brake is timed for right handed shooters. What I want to know is how this has affected left handed shooters. Is this something to be concerned with? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
obiwanbonjovi 337 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 it has right side vents to counteract movement to the right from right hand shooters. I would think this would exascerbate the problem for lefties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PapaZorro 401 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 All AK systems needs right and up commendation during firing, remember first original short angeled AKM compensator, that's why 2-4 cambers has right gills. Russian Left handed shooters use GK-01 withotu any problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 At least one guy just welded up the slots on the right side of the rectangle portion, filed the welds flat and called it good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 FYI, I am waiting for them to finally make a right handed version of the saiga 12. They've been making kalashnikovs for all of you leftists for a few decades now. Probably it was making up for the fact that you don't live as long. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
