So i got a new muzzle brake put on my rifle and have a smile on my face every time I shoot it!

very creative and well priced for the amount of material and machine work, makes you wonder when you spend the same for a regular mini flash hider or brake like a vortex or SF. Not that I don't like either as I own both as well. Just goes to show you how much margin is in stuff.

I feel like that thing was made with the sole purpose of ****ing with me.
At first I thought it was something like that new brake Sig is putting on their little SMG to permanently attach to what would have been an SBR and then allow you to form 4 a cover as a suppressor. But nope.
Hope you dig it though.
Holy Christ that thing is huge.

You weren't the only one. I had the same thought.
I can't buy one of those, as the temptation to just welt a tube to it and Form1 myself a can would be too great.
^ right? There is no practical use for that thing outside of a tube.
I agree with what everyone "sees" here as a temptation to complete, modify or build an NFA item... however; it would be cost effective in some circumstances. How decent the suppression would be would of course remain to be tested.
Glad I have the stamps I want already as the indefinite waiting periods being reported are at sinful proportions.

well I will let you know as I shoot it more, lol. If you happen to live in a free state a few I know of have passed the free firearms act, you guys might want to look it up. I called the ATF to ask there opinion, spoke to a lady she wasn't sure so she transfered me and ive been waiting on a call back. Nothing yet

However, this would be a good item to just have on the shelf. With so many uses and the excellent braking capabilities it has are great!:D
Because recoil from 5.56 is too much. :D

My GOD! How much does that thing weigh? It's made of steel!
What a pointless item. Created for the 11.5 inch permanent welded flash hider to 16inch brigade no doubt.
If it gets bad enough that the law doesn't matter anymore... It would make improvising easy. GH

Personally, I like the backwards front DD sight in the picture.
ETA: Not that I have a problem with a front sight mounted opposite of its intended position....if that person can articulate the need and why.

just noticed that myself, only thing I could think of is well a bit more streamlined should it catch or hit something? But really not sure, I guess it still operates that way though, lol.

I know some people do it with flip down sights due to having PEQ's, lights, switches, etc mounted. I don't think I've seen a fixed sight purposely turned around though...
My favorite line: "7.62x51/.308 muzzle brake, threaded in the standard 5/8x25 thread pitch which is standard on the AR-10/SR25"
Almost.
Considering that he also sells 80% receivers, I think it's a pretty safe bet that this thing has the same design intent.
Tubing is easy.
I've never really been a fan of large muzzle devices to bring a rife up to legal length. Always just struck me as silly because of the added weight without the added benefits of a longer barrel (bullet velocity). If you have to have 16 inches, you might as well benefit from it.
So, someone correct me if Im wrong but the only thing between this and a suppresor is the outer tube?

Gents, here's a thoughtful reminder about NFA items. Let's NOT talk about how to make something that requires fees paid and federal paperwork, without doing the proper paperwork.

"Please do not post information on illegal modifications to firearms"
By "please" we mean if you do this, we will boot you out of here. M4C's policy on illegal acts is clear, and violations are dealt with by banning people.
The more you know.....

agreed but I know more than a few folks that got dirty deals on short uppers and now need to make them legal so they can put them together and go and shoot them. Not ideal by any means but legal if you weld or pin or however you permanently attach it.

But "making" a firearm or suppressor in, say, Montana, is currently legal without Federal paperwork and without Federal oversight. If it remains legal is to be seen. But it currently is legal.
Sorry, I wasnt intending to stir anything up
I just dont know much about suppressors other than sign for it, screw it on and make sure I dont loose it before I get back.
It just seemed like it would be a good cost effective place to start a build after sending in the paperwork.

I would not be betting 20 years in a PMUTA Federal prison on it. And given how the BATFE gives multiple answers when asked the same question, I would not take bets on their answers.
The discussion was moving in unwise directions. Feel free to talk about comps all you want. But if you want this to stay out of the trash, keep it on the comp side, not the can side.

the free firearms act is very cool, i asked the local police about they were all about it! which is very cool for those of us in free states. that said shot the e-brake today then let the wife shoot it. All I can say it although its MASSIVE and HEAVY it works VERY WELL. No muzzle rise on rapid fire (as fast as I cold pull the trigger) which was very fun. I have not put an entire magazine that quickly onto a small target like that since I fired the ferfrans rate reducing bolt system.
anyways very cool for what it is, surely not for day to day use.
Holy Christ that thing is huge.That is way they call it a compensater!!!
lol someone was up late at night without coffee updating the website, lol. :laugh:
They must be lurking. Lol.
I want to hate this thing, but part of me likes the idea. If their intent really is an 'easy to form 1' baffle stack (or under the 'protection' of 'made in Montana'), they need to lighten the thing up a bit...like the Sig muzzle thingy on their 9mm thing. But I suspect this, and the Sig thing will soon be deemed a suppressor part, and disappear from the market forever.
It's a joke. right? If it's not I don't see how it could be effective. The 1st port is so massive all the gas would just dissipate, right?

You are correct but it would work fine for it's intended use as a barrel extension with a future where and when legal! GH
who's gonna be the next guy to tuck one under a fortis rev?

That thing is huge! I can't see it benefitting over just a longer barrel if trying to legalize a firearm solely for length

My gut reaction can be summed up by their use of the word "directionalize," as in "directionalize the gas."
While this is a real word, in their application, the word "direct" has the exact same meaning. However, they used three extra syllables that are functionally useless simply to make the word seem more technical than it really is.
..has constructive intent written all over it. Advise: 10 foot pole and/or directionalize yourself away from this item
