Surefire procomp, Carlsons Tactical V6 V Seven Weapon Systems V SEVEN Muzzle Brake: Okay so this is a first for me a muzzle brake with a full-on, large port running one direction followed by another clocked 90 off from it. Except as a gag gift (I suggest including a TAC-SAC with it, plus a waiver of liability), please, please stay far away from this thing. This is why I never frequent indoor ranges. 6.5 Muzzle Brake at Brownells VG6 DELTA VG6 designed this flash hider as an alternative to the standard A2. I think its obvious why mounting accessories to your muzzle brake isnt a great idea. Moving on from flash hiders Are you looking for a muzzle device that assists in reducing upward lift or muzzle flip when firing? Jeremy is TTAG's Deputy Editor, working mostly behind the scenes but, when he attempts to write, he focuses on comprehensive gun & gear reviews. Diameter(at largest point): 0.874 Solid recoil reduction, low blast & concussion, low flash/fire for a brake, very low price. Length:2.736 IMHO the best muzzle device would be one that keeps the rifle as undisturbed from neutral (X, Y, and Z axes) as possible? [EDIT: TAA informed me that production versions of this brake do have wrench flats and dont have tool marks], Material: Grade 5 titanium Either way really cool to see this data. Weight:4.057oz Finish:black nitride Length:2.313 New price $90 Griffin Armament M4SD Flash Comp Munich | Germany, History, Population, Oktoberfest, & Facts Im not sure what would be involved in permanently attaching a titanium brake to a steel barrel, but the length of this thing would likely bring a 12.5 barrel up to the legal minimum for a rifle. After trying to get used to it for 10 minutes I ended up just leaving. I was simply suggesting doing a test or two to see how much of a factor it is. I did a lot of testing on the ARs and the recoil control is really subjective as the recoil isnt robust anyway, but when I tested on my 7 Mag with a 4 port brake it still had excellent recoil control with the BFD on the brake. WeaponTech Punisher Compensator/Flash Hider: The WeaponTech Punisher Comp/Flash Hider, sold via Primary Arms (and designed by the same guy who created the ACSS scope reticle, which I absolutely love), is a novel combination of brake, comp, and flash hider. For that same reason, if youre building a high-quality, hard-use home defense firearm but do not have the ability to acquire a suppressor, then a flash hider is something wed most certainly recommend. The Precision Armament M4-72 was king of the recoil reduction hill against 138 other 5.56 competitors and 23, .30 cal competitors, but it just got Joffreyd by the SJC Titan. Its no longer available (sorry, I know I just shattered your plans to impulse buy one), but it was loaned to me with the MAMS so I figured Id test it. With so many ARs, however, Im reminded of that old tale of the incompetent tailor with a glib tongue: upon picking up their suit, a customer realizes that it doesnt even remotely fit, but the tailor convinces the customer to hunch over like so, hike up his left arm into the sleeve by three inches, twist a little bit to the right, walk in a half-step and presto!

I didnt take the replacement, though, as running a 1/2-28 thread tap through it Melonite is really hard, by the way resolved the problem completely. Its also well beyond deafening to anyone who would be gutsy enough to try a shot without ear pro, Im really not a muzzle rise compensation fan. It wont matter which muzzle brake you choose, it will fit and work well with any muzzle device that is worth buying. New price $94 ODIN Works ATLAS 5 Comp MSRP:$99. Sled testing of the sort Ive been doing is way closer to area under the curve, measuring the total amount of energy much more so than it measures how its applied. Would also like to see the Strike Industries King Comp included. New price $160 Cobalt Kinetics EVOLVE Pro Comp Quanto mais tempo o avio voar, maior ser o multiplicador de sua aposta. Hey man, love your tests, been great info! With a lot of these brakes I fired them offhand prior to the tests (for this test, for instance, I was collecting brakes for almost a year before finally doing the test! Maybe if youve had rotator cuff surgery, or youre shooting a full-auto rifle. Were not a huge corporation that values the bottom line more than their customers and were not a one-man band selling AR15 parts out of a garage, were big enough to compete and small enough that each customer matters. Length:8.2 In fact Ive joked that its fairly redneck. It doesnt match the idea in my head of the most perfect, variable-eliminating test rig possible built inside a controlled environment. It also evacuates a portion of the gas out of the top to reduce muzzle rise. Yeah, those VG6 brakes are super nice in every way. Im still not a big black oxide (or parkerizing) fan, but White Sound has done it as nicely as it can be done, and the machining on the FOSSA is super clean. Diameter(at largest point): 0.866 If so, which ones? How durable do you think the copper brake will be? A2 was also in both flash hiding tests already (and I dont think there will be a third), as was the VooDoo Innovations Manimal, which is an extended-length A2 just like what youre talking about. Precision machined in the USA and backed by the NBS limited lifetime warranty, these are possibly the best value muzzle brake on the market. Its also so, so wrong. Leaving the un-touched-up, raw machined finish is a bit ballsy as it leaves every little nick and imperfection fully visible. Dead/ Bad Links V Seven Weapon Systems V SEVEN Muzzle Brake Apparently they dont realize that the height of this rail is way lower than AR rail height, and it would be basically impossible to jury rig a sight onto this thing at a usable height.

I believe it went from a 2.4 in the first test, to a 2.9 in the third.. so im just curious as to what changed? Diameter(at largest point): 0.866 My hypothesis is that the downward push imparted by comps MIGHT be effective in the bigger picture and MIGHT be part of the reason why they remain so popular even though pure brakes seem to be more effective at pure recoil mitigation. In addition to its flash suppression capabilities, the VG6 DELTA is a muzzle device that also does an excellent job of sending gas down range, thus reducing concussion felt by the shooter. Diameter(at largest point): 0.74 By focusing the gas out the front its giving you that rearwards push right back, with some small recoil reduction due to the gas cooling and pressure drop depending on the volume of the blast shield. Material: 4140 steel Im one of the guys who bought one of the brakes, and learned that I didnt like them. Not much, but enough to notice and to be relatively confident of it. Already had 42 muzzle devices to test and theyre all being compared against the bare muzzle anyway, so I cut it. They are hybrids which attempt to both suppress flash and mitigate recoil. Youll have improved control during rapid fire and a tighter overall grouping. Length:1.71 Recoil reduction performance is good, but nothing to write home about compared to other brakes of its size. Id like to see the A2 birdcage listed in the charts as part of the baseline comparison. Youve done so much for us already. MSRP:$89.99. Id love to see a comparison of brakes + blast shields, including the aforementioned Indian Creek Device (with several different brakes): Lantac Dragon + Blast Mitigation Device Jeremy, Im curious as to how the Directional Muzzle Brake from Witt Machine does.

Theres no vertical muzzle rise on an AR15. So, if youre looking to do a basic 14.5 pin and weld, this is an easy choice.

Strike Industries King Comp The Strike Industries King Comp features a large dual chamber design, which was engineered to reduce felt recoil and help reduce the side concussion with the specifically angled gas ports. It makes follow-up shots much, much easier. Diameter(at largest point): 0.852 Strike Industries JCOMP Gen2 Like the King Comp, this could be considered a hybrid due to its two chamber design that helps with recoil management. This bad boy landed in third place, providing a whopping 72.93% reduction in recoil. Well the A2 is a flash hider, as you stated. Result! Part of my motivation, besides scientific curiosity, is the fact that I purchased an M72 and found that it didnt come close seem to canceling all muzzle rise on my lightweight carbine.
