muzzle brakes like the pig

I don't want this to seem dickish for the sake of just being a dick.

I don't understand this sentence coming from markm.

I like the Troy Claymore. Cheaper and lighter than the KX3.

Get what you like. It's your $ and your gear.
If you like the pig.. get it. I'd highly recommend the KX5 over the KX3.

Talk about an optical oxymoron.... A KMR and Pig in the same picture!

Together they balance out really well. It's the KX5 so only 4oz. About half of the kx3.

That's what I was thinking! I get the lightest rail and attach a brick on the end of it and they balance out

I have thought about getting them in the past for a 7.5" build to help mitigate some of the issues with those setups, but once I looked at the specs I realized that adding one would negate any weight and size savings over my current 10.5" upper. While I agree the idea of them seems cool to me, at the end I always felt I would be better served with an extra 3 " of barrel.

But if it is what you want, go for it. This is murica anyhow.

The Kies linear comp does a nice job of redirecting the blast/report from the shooter and folks to either side if that matters. That KAK flash can does too. I have one on my 7.5" AR as a place holder when the Grunt is off...

I have a Claymore. Not that heavy and does what it's supposed to do. Blows sound and blast down range.

That being said it still makes a huge fireball and you still get more muzzle blast than you would from a longer barrel. But it's tolerable enough that it's still fun. Without it it's just too much blast.

I would never get another barrel this short for a rifle round again. About ten inches for a lower pressure (Like .300 blk, 7.62x39) is okay but for .223/5.56 I wouldn't go any less than 11.5 inches and even then prefer 14.5-16.

That was my experience as well. Once you go lower than 14.5" you are operating with no advantage over PCCs.
