    I'm going out today. Hopefully I will get better video than the one I posted last week. I'm hoping to do a quick comparison (14.5 upper w mams and 14.5 upper with surefire mb556).

    Yes, I'm tracking. I was actually referring to the Griffin Armament M4SD II comp when I asked the question.

    I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about the comparison between these two. I currently have no plans for a suppressor and the MAMS would go on a Noveske N4 16" Recce rifle.

    I wanted a muzzle device that will be as effective or at least almost as effective as the MB556 but without as much flash and concussion.

    "Did it come with the shim?"

    I sent the upper off to Adco and that is what I got back so I'm not sure if it included the shims or not.

    Not trying to derail, but when I got my griffin NT-4 compatible mount, it came with peel washers. Unlike my TTB that came with knights shim set, which I would prefer.

    Have any users noticed erosion inside the brake ? The distributor I emailed stated that this brake may have an inconel blast baffle inside it which I assume is there to help slow down erosion against the end cap. Can any one confirm this ?

    Thinking about the fact that this piece is sacrificial makes me take a second look at an inconel triple tap for $100 more.

    Inconel in the triple tap brake is a wear resistant material, no doubt (I don't know what the MAMS is made of). 17-4 in the NT4 comp is stronger and harder but probably has similar wear resistance when compared in the application (muzzle brake / comp). I've not seen any photos of compensators from either manufacturer that were worn out so it's probably a zero sum game. When people say "sacrificial" they are implying, "takes a percentage of wear so the suppressor doesn't have to" more than, "these wear out rapidly" in my opinion.

    The peel washer is an encapsulated stainless steel shim set. Grab it with a pliers and heat it red, water quench (for the purpose of saving time), grab in a different area, repeat, and the shim set seperates into about 20 shims now that the laminating adhesive is deactivated. Takes about a minute to do that. I agree shims are more convenient, but for $325 more (additional cost of TTB), I'm not sure the shim set is worth the squeeze.

    Anyone notice that there is still no comparison vids or reviews even though a bunch of people own these? I have found one Canadian shooting it here http://youtu.be/LIr2MkuZcM8

    Nice video link! Ild bet the reason it's hard to find a video is that not too many people own a mams brake. I noticed the Triple Tap Brake was an item major distributors would stock only about 3 of at a time. That suggested to me that price keeps volume low.

    Well it arrived yesterday and I hope to stop by VA Arms either tuesday after work or wednesday to have it installed.

    I'm hoping to get it zeroed on Wednesday but I'm not sure if I should wait till the rocksett dries and cures completely.

    It included a 7 piece shim kit and rocksett.

    It is interesting to see the holes are drilled in different angles into this. There is also a pre drilled hole on the bottom for those who want to get it pinned I'm assuming.

    Definitely no inconel inside this as far as I can see it all looks like the same material. Finish is missing in a few spots at the bottom but that's no big deal.

    I'm looking forward to putting some rounds down range with this.
