What is the installation process for the Venom Antidote?

The Antidote installs on standard 14mm left-hand threaded AK barrels using the factory detent. WASR-10 owners may need to remove a tack weld securing the original muzzle nut before installation.

With an MSRP of $195, the Antidote is a premium accessory. It's targeted at AK enthusiasts and owners who prioritize maximum performance and are willing to invest in a high-end muzzle device.
