Is this correct? Should the muzzle brake be tight? I’ve read that some AK rifles have loose fitting parts compared to ARs.
Should the flash hider, muzzle brake be loose and wobble slightly?

That is normal. It is clocked to the pin.

Had the same question years ago. We all start somewhere. It is completely normal as previously stated.

Will do as I get going. Cleaning and going to the range in the next few days.
Bought a Magna Matic sight adjustment tool, a surplus Russian sling, and a surplus East German AK-74 cleaning rod since the rifle didn’t include one.
Hoping the front sight isn’t canted and I don’t experience the issues some have had with the 5.56 chambered rifles. Should know soon. 
Thanks for the help.
