RUTGERS95 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 I'm trying to decide on a brake, any suggestions that would fit the sass barrel after I have it threaded? Is this even an issue like with some bull barrels?
Jgun Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 What's the outside diameter of the SASS? Isn't it threded from the factory?
RUTGERS95 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Posted March 26, 2012 no, i have a lr-308b that wasn't threaded. I have to measure it but looks like it's a standard sass barrel diameter. I was doing some research and looks like most 308 brakes will work. I might have jumped the gun a bit, sorry.any experience with the SJC Titan brake?
Jgun Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 I picked one up for a build, based on hearing some good reviews of it's performance, but never installed it because it felt a little on the heavy side to me. I ended up using a BABC on that gun, which is definitely lighter, and I feel that it's effective in recoil reduction. I never tested the Titan, but at less than half the price of the BABC it might not be a bad choice, if the extra weight at the end of the barrel doesn't concern you.
LocoGringo Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 I don't have experience with the Titan on a .308, but I do have experience with the Titan on a 5.56. It depends on what you are using it for whether or not I would recommend it. It is SUPER effective at keeping the muzzle down, but it is STUPID loud. Every time I shoot my 5.56 at a 3-gun match where I'm a new competitor, I have people ask me what caliber it is because it's so loud. A buddy from work wanted to try out my rifle once, but forgot hearing protection. I stuck my fingers in my ears and didn't have a problem. He came back after the first shot, handed me the rifle and screamed at me (presumably because he was temporarily deaf) that it was louder than his .300 Win Mag. Like I said, it's super effective for what it's for, but it's REALLY loud and I wouldn't want to imagine what it would be like for a .308.
RUTGERS95 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Posted March 26, 2012 gotcha and thanks for the replies. I have a fsc30 on one of my 6.8 and I think that is too loud so perhaps I'll look at something else. I do like the babc however and of course, the surefire is effective as well.
Gunner308 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 I'm using a JP Tactical Comp on my SASS! Awesome Guys and service! Check them out! it is a .925 with a 5/8x24 thread! Significant recoil reduction and sounds like a beast! http://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPTRE-5.58B.925
Gunner308 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 BTW It is not stupid loud when shooting... Have no idea what it sounds like as a bystander but I'm sure the side pressure may be significant!
Guest LLArms Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 I use the JP muzzle brake pictured above as well, the large profile one (.950?) for a bull barrel.
