Flash hider/ muzzle brake reccomendation? Help

[saki302]

The ebay brake is a straight copy of the SJC Titan. I hate fakes, get the original (about $100 from Larue, and they send you $30 worth of free crap).

The SJC is a great brake, but the loudest of them all. It actually isn't too bad from the shooter's position, but your neighbors will HATE you.

I tried the battlecomp 2.0 side by side with the MB556K, the noise difference was very very slight from an observer's and shooter's view- it surprised me.
The MB556K works better as a brake/comp too. The Rainier XTC works well, but is even louder than the 556K from the shooter's perspective IMO.

For a good compromise, try the AFAB Mini brake. It seems to work better than the battlecomp (no downward movement), and does a better flash hiding job than any other hybrid brake so far. I'm quite impressed for the quality of machining and effectiveness vs. the cost on the AFAB.

If you want to hide flash, go Phantom/Vortex/AAC. None of the brakes will come close at night.

I'm no muzzle device expert, but I do know what didn't work with my go-to rifle.

I tried the first gen Griffin Armament M4SD II Flash Comp and found almost no muzzle rise difference compared to the standard A2 flash hider. It was a waste of money. I then tried the Lantac Dragon and it is MUCH better than the Griffin.

I swapped an A2 for a FSC556 on my full auto. It is so much easier to shoot now. Before I had to stand behind new shooters and block their shoulder with my hand so they would not let the gun push them backward. Now they have no problem keeping tight groups. I had a female friend try it out for the first time and she has not stopped asking to go shoot FA again.

Welcome.. to the DARK SIDE

Noveske uses them on some of their builds too- I have one on my RAW AR10 with Noveske 18" upper. It works great and isn't too noisy TO ME. My buddies on the other hand..

It also adds a bit of weight up front, good or bad depending on the gun. There's a reason these are popular in 3-gun.
