44Dave Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 So this thread is pretty old now. But it's still pretty high up on the first page so I'm gonna use it. Surely there have been new breaks/compensators/flash hiders on the market since 2015 - what are all the cool kids using these days? I'd be interested in reducing muzzle climb while still having good flash hiding characteristics. I've used both SE Vortex and a Kaw Valley linear comp on my 7.62 calibers. I don't want to spend $200 or whatever on a Battlecomp since I plan to suppress these in the next year or so. $100 would probably be ok.

D.R.D. Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Its all been answered: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/02/jeremy-s/308-muzzle-brake-test/ (SJC / Lund Titan Brake topped the .223 tests, fyi) http://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/08/21/muzzle-brake-summary-of-field-test-results/ http://www.muzzlebrakesandmore.com/Video_s_and_Pictures.php http://terminatorproducts.co.nz/ I've spent way to much time looking at all this. It seems Nathan Wright's Beast Brake is the best performance, especially for the money - only likely beat out by the very expensive terminator. The DPMS Miculek is probably the best cheap brake. Not all will decrease muzzle rise like the JP eliminator, and some will dip the muzzle too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 If you plan to suppress, you have to start planning now. If you're going to thread your can directly to the barrel, then continue as you planned. If you want to swap your can from Gun to Gun, then you'll want to use compatible QD mounts. You might as well start on that route now, instead of buying all new parts again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 http://www.shop.jeccustom.com/Quick-Brake-JEC-QB5824.htm something like this is always good if you plan on using a suppressor at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTrooper Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yeah, JP Recoil Eliminator is great... plus it makes your weapon look like an alien laser gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44Dave Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I was actually talking myself into that M4-72 that came out so well on The Truth About Guns shoot out, until I saw the flash it makes... I mean, I know that it's not a FH but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Just remember, even though some companies advertise the best of both worlds with flash hiders and muzzle brakes, really there is only compromise. the muzzle brake part on those combo ones creates more flash and the flash part takes up space that would could be used for more baffles on the muzzle brake section. now there is nothing wrong with compromise... I am married so I do it all the time. lol. but it isn't the best of one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Agree. "A little less flash" seems pointless to me. It either hides the flash very well or it doesn't. I don't see any advantage to a small fireball over a large one but the large fireball will probably reduce recoil alot more. I say decide on the property most important to you and buy the device that does that the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44Dave Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I knew there would be a compromise as soon as I decided to look at brakes/comps, but it might be too much for me. I may have to take my other 7.62 rifles out and compare the Smith Vortex VS that Kaw Valley linear comp to see just how much difference there is. At any rate, I'll either accept the flash or not and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 besides, flash hiders help limit the flash to hide you better in war. that's their main reason for being. don't think any of us need that anymore. less of a flash can make follow up shots quicker in smaller calibers but with the recoil of the .308 platform you will still be recovering from the shot by the time flash has dissipated into the air. My thoughts are, unless you are pig or coyote hunting at night where limiting your flash is important for not affecting your night vision/optics, muzzle brakes are the way to go.

It's made to work with the Crux Archangel PMS suppressor, which I hear has minimal to zero POI shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
