Next time you hear the word "FREE", try replacing it with "TAXPAYER-FUNDED".
"War is a terrible thing, but there are things much worse than war. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares about more than his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free unless made and kept by the operation and sacrifice of better men than himself." -Col. Bruce E. Wallace
There is just so much right about this photo.
Spotlessly clean on a filthy beast, holding up this weapon like you just took it out of a rock and are now king, and wearing the most fragile looking glasses like a wall street banker while in a war zone, and perfectly shaven because only cavedwellers don't shave. I LOVE this pic.

As has been pointed out already the Noveske Pig is a copy of the Bulgarian 4 Piece Flash Hider aka HOBO aka Beer Can Brake. I ran a Bulgy 4 Piece on a 12" AKM and the reduction in muzzle blast/flash was impressive. The trade off was the 8.5oz and 3.25" length/1.375" diameter to deal with. It has since been replaced with something nearly as effective but more manageable in size.

From Noveske website:
The Noveske KX3 Flash Suppressor
US PATENT 7,836,809
Made in Grants Pass,Oregon USA
Heat-Treated CM Construction
Phosphate Finish
7 ounces
1.35 inch Dia
3.28 inch OAL
How exactly does one go about getting a patent for Russian Military equipment anyway?
Specs for the Levang Linear Compensator:
5.2oz
2-1/8" (5.3cm) long
.971" (24.6mm) diameter
½"-28 tpi.
Street price ~$35
Couldn't really find a bad review of the Levang anywhere on the net. I would start there as others have suggested.
The KX3 is the shit on a 7.5" barrel. With a birdcage, the blast in an indoor range was enough for you to forget what county you were in. The Pig sends all that concussion downrange, and makes it feel like shooting a 16" carbine. Plus, the weight of the brake helps minimize muzzle climb a bit.

Noveske sells it because people buy it, Noveske is one of the dudes who builds SBRs right.
100 out of 100 Noveske SBRs don't need a KX3's backpressure to work right...
However, now that 7.5'' guns have been mentioned I understand them, but if you're gonna do that... why not just get a Mk. 18?
We miss you, AC.
