Post muzzle devices for just about any gun. I want to learn about some, and hopefully find rare parts that are a good steal for my AR-15 build.
>>29577542
Get a 20" barrel and you "It ain't me" adventure will soon begin.
>>29577579
I live in NJ, so flash suppressors aren't going to work. If I could I would get this though.
>>29577511
Strike industries J-comp. Cheap, effective compensator, technically not a flash suppressor but still does a reasonable job at it.
>>29577791
Was looking at these too.
Literally the best of all worlds.
>stable muzzle without the downwards push of some comps
>best recoil reduction of any hybrid device
>great flash suppression
>no extra concussion like with port type brakes
Best part? It's not a flash suppressor by legal definition, but suppresses flash better than A2 birdcage.
>>29577955
Probably isn't better than birdcage
>>29577955
Looks ugly, and if its so good why do all of the competition guys use the ones with monster ports?
>>29578000
Saved, this is super helpful.
>>29578036
Have the brake & compensator one as well, anon.
>>29578000
Do you have one for recoil reduction?
>>29578053
>>29578059
NVM there it is.
>>29578053
I don't really recognize any of these.
>>29578108
There's a couple more on TTAG. A lot of them are $200 devices that don't perform any better than $20-30 devices so it's not surprising many of them are obscure
>>29578184
Thats what I gathered. As I looked them up, they all just looked like 3/2 chambered brakes.
>>29578015
>and if its so good why do all of the competition guys use the ones with monster ports
Because competition guys don't care about flash suppression or concussion, genius.
>>29578000
>Probably isn't better than birdcage
It is. Pic related is the EFAB, but they measured virtually identical in flash suppression (difference was 1-2 lux).
>>29578283
There are a couple that are a little more interesting, I like the idea of customising the EFFIN-A for instance. At the end of the day though, on a cost effectiveness basis it's impossible to beat the A2 birdcage for a FH or the Type 82/J-comp for a compensator.
>>29578015
Also if performance is all you're worried about, you can go ahead and buy the JP Eliminator.
Sure, it looks retarded, weighs a pound, creates a 2ft fireball, explodes the head of anyone shooting to the left or right of you and if you're shooting prone, it takes exactly one shot before you can't see shit over the massive dust cloud you've created, but it's the best performing brake and that's what you want, right?
>>29578437
I am actually looking for simple but effective at reducing recoil since I am doing a light weight build. I don't want ridiculous flash however since this will be my only rifle, and if I have to use it in a serious situation I don't want to blind the fuck out of myself.
I was looking at the loudener because i want to build a rifle for the lols, but have not found any place to buy it for 5.56, only for .308 and 7.62x39.
do you guys happen to know of any other muzzle device that increase the fireball/sound?
>>29578661
What kind is that?
I was thinking of possibly going with the surefire too since it is rather cheap, and also comes from a quality company.
>>29578682
>>29578015
>Looks ugly
I kinda like it, reminds me of the Colt Monitor.
>>29578724
Unless its a 3 prong I prefer my muzzle devices to be flat in the front like this>>29577872
>>29578724
I'd say it reminds me of the FG-42 muzzle device with the tiny ports all around.
>>29578628
someone sells one that looks like this, it'll probably louden your shit up
also, pretty good recoil reduction
>>29578682
Saker Trifecta
>>29578792
Yes that one looks similar enough, that lets the gas expand to the sides, do you know the name or company that makes it?
Dead Air Sandman on my PTR91. Made by employees that split off from Silencerco and made their own company.
Literally makes it recoil as hard as an AR-15.
>>29577511
name of that?
>>29578870
nope I think it was like a "pig" or something
>>29579068
YHMs slant break.
Anyone know how a Zenit DTK-2 stacks up against an Arsenal AK-140US in 7.62x39?
I got one of these on ebay for 20 bucks, it looks cool but makes the gun loud as fuck
>>29579176
>it looks cool
Is this you?
I'm looking for something to reduce/minimize felt muzzle blast and concussion out of my 10.5" AR pistol. Some flash hiding would be nice too.
The shorter the better. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
>>29578494
AFAB, EFAB, or M4-72.
>>29579309
EFAB if you want balanced performance.
A linear comp if all you care about is redirecting the concussive blast.
>>29579367
AFAB is better suited for >14.5" barrels.
M4-72 will do the exact opposite of what he wants.
>>29579309
>>29579375
This guy. Linear Compensators will redirect all of the blast downrange and significantly reduce the perceived blast both to you and fellow shooters on the bench. I have them now on all my ARs since I exclusively shoot at public ranges.
Kaw Valley makes some of the more popular ones.

You get a slight increase in linear recoil directly into your shoulder, but it more than makes up for the more comfortable time at the range and your shooting bench.
So I'm torn between these. The Midwest brake, the cheap ak74 style brake and the Lantac drakon. This will be used on my 23inch vepr and just want something to tame the x54r a bit.
I'm assuming I can use the 7.62 ak brakes on my Vepr since the thread size matches and it's basically the same bullet diameter.
M4-72 clone. Super awesome.
>>29579778
I've got a x54r VEPR myself. I went with an Ares Arms Effin-A brake since it was adjustable but mainly because I got it for free. I have heard good things about the Lantac, but I haven't experienced using it sadly. The AA brake is pretty damn good at taming the blast though.
>>29577955
Would this fit on my Grendel?
>>29579854
No, it's a real tight fit even with 5.56
>>29577511
>>29579839
Thanks for the input, I'll look into that brake. The thing is I want to keep the Slav look as much as possible. Right now I have the tabuk flash hider which looks right but does shit for dat x54r kick.
>>29578724
>>29578787
It reminds me of the ZFK55 muzzle device
Just a nice, classic design.
>>29577511
I miss having my BE Meyers 249F on my AR. It was just too long for a 16" AR so I'm saving it for a 14.5" build. I might even be able to get away with pinning and welding it on a 13.7" barrel.
Battlecomp 2.1
I have it on my ar. So expensive tho. Glad I still lived with parents when I bought it hahahaha
>>29581627
Absolute shit at flash suppression, causes muzzle dip, is loud as fuck despite claims to the contrary and costs up to 4 times as much as other devices that shit all over it.
Overhyped and overpriced garbage, just like the KAC MAMS.
>>29579854
>>29579862
So run a 7mm drill through it
>>29583389
Better be precise as shit or you're going to fuck up a pretty expensive muzzle device.
>>29578893
The ATF cashed my Sandman-S check a couple of weeks ago and I almost want to get some kind of .30 cal rifle just to use the brake. Also they need to hurry up and start shipping more of the flash hiders, I have an SBR and a 20in I want to put the can on and don't really think I need the extra concussion in either case, not enough recoil to matter in an AR methinks.
>>29579661
Please tell me more anon. That could be what i searched for...
>Not using the only muzzle brake that makes a difference
pic related
>>29578053
M4-72 is Totes McGoats.
Rifle barely even moves when fired.
>>29578351
Is that a new version of the Effin-A? I have that comp and I love it, but the one in your picture looks different.
>pic related. muh rifle
I got one of the Bennie Cooley ones because it was stainless and looked neat.
It works pretty good too.
>>29585914
Sure thing, as you see the way it's laid out, it forces the blast straight down range away from you. The peripheral blast and the blast towards you is really reduced, you can notice a major difference if you're next to someone who has a regular brake versus a linear compensator.
The downsides?
As I said earlier, the big one is that you will experience a noticeable increase in recoil, but directed straight back into your shoulder. As long as you have a solid grip and rest for your rifle, it's very manageable, but it is there so that's a thing.
Next, since it's redirecting all the blast downrange, and I haven't experienced this myself since I hardly shoot in the evenings, but I have heard from other folks that the muzzle flash will be very noticeable at night.
Other than that, they're great. If you're shooting a lot around other folks, or have a bunch of AR pistols or SBR style rifles, they're worth the investment imo.
>>29578351
>>29588009
Huh, yeah that must be new. mine doesn't have that and I purchased it last year
>>29579839
>>29588190
Sounds interresting enough to check them out at my local gunsmith. I doubt he has one but maybe they are not that expensive. Thanks.
I am mostly shooting at a covered range with just one side open. So it is the noise wich really bothers me and also the dust after half an hour. If this helps to reduce both a bit i am set
>>29590289
It certainly should, since nothing will be blasted down directly into the ground you should avoid the worst of the dust kickup from the muzzle.
