308 muzzle break

[ar15barrels]

so i have a 20" threaded barrel and i starting to look for a good muzzle break. im no planning on spending a fat wad of dough for a "suppressor ready" break until i move out of this lame state.

any suggestions for a good break?

Tell Ross 0.960" diameter at the rear with 5/8-24 threads for 30 caliber bullets.

The SilencerCo Saker Trifecta is running $65.71 at Brownells... and it's ready for their 308 silencer if/when you move out of Cali.

Love the Miculek's but I decided to go with a Diamondhead instead for looks and they work well also. I just like to be different...

SLR BCF, comp/flash hider. That's the one i'm going with for my LR308 build. I love the looks of it.

Haven't tried this, but definitely very interested in this based on what I know about brakes. Only reason I haven't jumped is b/c it's kind of pricy and I don't know enough about fluid dynamics to tell if it will be that much better of if it's just a ride on the hype train. However, if you tune this brake, make sure you do so evenly. Like LynnJr said, you want even gas flow. I'm 90% sure that uneven porting or redirection of gas can affect bullet flight itself (aka throw it off).

There was also a really interesting one I tried at a calguns shoot a few years ago but I stupidly forgot to ask him where he got the brake from - a very nice gentleman shooting .300WM in a R700 with a brake on it that could be adjusted on/off by covering the ports/vents with a sliding cover or something of the sort built into the brake. Close it to keep it from redirecting sound sideways when crowded. Open it for more braking when people don't mind or it's not crowded. Tried it opened and it really tamed the 300WM but when it was closed later it kept the noise around him down pretty well.

Other than that, I've also heard a lot of people recommend the Harrell's and Ross Schuler brakes.

I think this is the first time a muzzle device has caught my attention based on looks alone. Very nice!
