I have been looking for a new muzzle device. I use a Midwest 3 chamber comp right now, looking for something different.

If you want something quieter than a brake, get a flash hider or even better a Can. I personally use muzzle brakes, noise be damned.
What ever suppressor i run, has that brake on it. While very annoying to other shooters, i like the brakes over f/hiders. It acts as one more "blast baffle" in my suppressor.
For unsuppressed rifles, basic YHM 3 prong style units.
If you want a good effective comp with less concussion, there are three that on the top of that pile. Seekins STC, Dynamic Resistance and the Gas Hog.
51T all the things
Great suggestions. I will be looking into these.
Normally I shoot alone or at outdoor ranges that are pretty spread apart. What brought this on was swapping weapons with an ex-military buddy. His DD AR and my Colt were two different beasts in the noise department.
A muzzle brake will greatly reduce recoil but will be loud. You will likely shoot fireballs out of a short barrel
A flash hider is great for reducing flash signature, but you will have more felt recoil.
I tried to bump fire a rifle with a brake, recoil was reduced so much that it wouldn't even "bump". Added a blast chamber to direct the blast forward and I was able to bump fire it.
I have AAC cans, so i run all 51T brakes (except for 1 flash hider)

Why are you looking for a new one? What are trying to accomplish with it?
Looking for something a little more quiet for the people next to me. Hell, I can feel the blast every time a round is fired. Normally I wouldn't care, but just trying to be respectful to others.Quote:

or a compensator that directs the blast forward not out
In this case I went for the psych-them-out intimidation factor. It does tend to throw flames a bit too.

You could just go with a simple flash hider and just get used to dealing with the massive recoil of the 5.56 round.
Are you flippen crazy Ray? Not trying to have shoulder surgery bud...[Sarcasm2]Quote:
