I need some advice from people with more experience than I when it comes to muzzle devices.
I currently have a Tavor TAR-21 rifle in 5.56 that I've really enjoyed building out.
Currently I have a surefire FH556-215 on it, the AAC-similar flash hider. It has done very well for me in the past, when assembling an NVD system on this rifle.
I have a chance to trade it for a muzzle brake instead, the MB556:
A couple of considerations:
1. I recently purchased a Vortex Razor 1-6, which I feel is the end of my optics purchasing for that rifle. So I'll be looking at less Night Vision coyotes and more service rifle/3 gun competitions with that setup.
2. All surefire muzzle devices are hard to find in Canada. They're practically hen's teeth.
3. I could see building a different rifle into an NV specific setup. I still have the NVD, IR-reddot, IR illuminator etc.
4. Because the Tavor is an 18.5 inch barrel, it doesn't produce a ton of flash with an A2. However because it is a full piston system, I've had other shooters accustomed to AR-15s describe it as "bouncy."
5. The Tavor is definitely my SHTF rifle. Its the gun I trust more than any other I own. Is the potential for an increased signature using the brake a reason to stick with the very effective flash hider?
I realize at some point only I can make the decision. But I'd love to hear from othes what you'd do and what you'd use.
