I'm looking for some input on a good muzzle break that will keep the barrel from climbing. There are a few out there but before I go and spend the money I would like to hear from some owners who have changed out their stock flash suppressor. Pictures would be great.

Look into the EFFIN A tunable muzzle brake. Under a $100 now some places.

What do you think about this one........PRECISION ARMAMENT - M11 SEVERE-DUTY™ MUZZLE BRAKE.......Anyone used this one.

Just received the Ares Armor EFFIN-A. Will be putting it on this weekend and will post a range report.

I've ordered this, just haven't put it on yet and after reading a few comments around different forums, I'm not sure if I will now.

I've never shot next to someone at the range with one (a brake) on but from what I read it tends to piss people off that are next to you. Both with sound and gas being blown back at them.

So I might swap it out on a less busy day and see what really happens.

Since my "Grizzly" Defcon1 Muzzle Brake did in fact reduce recoil on my Savage Arms Model 10FCP-SR in .308 ---> to that of a 2 year old pushing on the end of the rifle at me, I just bought Grizzly's New for 2013 "The Hunter" muzzle brake. Check out how "Mean n' Nasty" it looks.

Ain't cheap though... $199.00 (+shipping etc.) --- but you get what you pay for (and then some) with Grizzly....like NO MUZZLE RISE, NO DUST SIGNATURE and recoil is truly reduced by more than 60% (almost like shooting a 22lr w/ a push to it)

Tuesday when my new M&P AR10 arrives, it's gettin' mounted. Count on it.

Just received and screwed on the JP Standard-Profile Compensator. Still waiting for my free float handguard and LP gas block to arrive, so it's not torqued on / timed in yet, but definitely gives the rifle a different look, shortens it by about an inch. Gonna try getting to a range this coming week and will let you know my impressions..

I have a brake that does not angrify the people next to you and it does not break the bank.
Plus I have stainless crush washers to go with the stainless brake.

I do. Well in my shop at least. I still prototype and do the initial programming, but I have a shop that does the day to day machining stuff.
Everything in my store is made right here, except for a couple things. FrogLube is an example.

Do you make a brake that fits my 35 Whelen?

If your barrel is threaded 5/8-24 then yes. Get the one for .375

Any Updates On Those Added Muzzle Breaks To Their Rifles? I'm Interested In Getting A Break. I Want To Reduce The Overall Length Of The Barrel.

I had an A2 on and didn't like how much climb I got. Although, I think the A2 will make the barrel the shortest. The best muzzle breaks for our gun is the Battlecomp 2.0 or the Surefire 762. They will get you the greatest result while still making the barrel a little shorter.

Thanks For The Info On The Muzzle BRAKES Ohio Wolverine.

I am putting the Surefire muzzle break on...should take it to the range next week....will keep you posted

The overall length of my brake is 2 1/4 inch and is a MUCH better brake at a more reasonable price.

Those are purrrrtttty.

I use one by Tacticool. I originally put it on my 15-22(not really necessary but looks cool) but then put it on my Sport. It works fine for me and the way it's ported, most of the adverse effects that BRAKES can produce are reduced.

Any updates? Would like to add a break to my 811311.

What kind of updates? I have a ton in stock.

I think a lot of people miss the break/brake difference. When I'm tired I take a break, when I want to slow my car (or reduce rifle recoil) I use the brakes.

What they thought after a day at the range with their newly installed muzzle brake. Which one(s) they preferred or which one(s) they would like to try. I have been looking at a couple of them on e bay and haven't made up my mine on which one I may or may not purchase.

I'm curious how people can purchase several brakes just to compare? And, what might work for one person, doesn't have the same feel for the next.
Plus, the whole benefit is going to be dramatically reduced because there's hardly any recoil anyway with .22LR.

My Tacticool works well!!

Hobie


p.s I use mine on my Sport!

I installed this yesterday and took it out for a test drive. It is a PWS FSC30, a take-off from a FN SCAR 17S.

Very effective! I didn't think recoil was bad with my M&P is stock form but this made a very noticeable difference.

Finally put the JP Enterprises brake on and went to the range. Night and day difference shooting the gun (M&P10). Don't have experience with any other brakes, so can't give a comparison, but shooting my M&P10 without and with..wow.
Is it louder for people behind and to the side..YES!.
Is there a concussive blast felt by people behind and to the side..YES
Does it tame recoil..hell YES! (shooting buddy said his 5.56 felt like it had more recoil)
Shooting the gun prior when strapped into a rest..would almost slide the whole contraption off the bench..now barely moves the thing.

Highly recommend adding a brake, makes the gun way more enjoyable and also allows much faster followup shots

Once some funds get replenished I am interested in trying a different one just to see if I can get same level of recoil reduction with reduced noise and concussion ( ..as so many advertise), but am I happy with what I got..YES!

Not sure that it is actually the best muzzle brake on the market but my Shark muzzle break could come in handy at the right, or actually the wrong time.

Tried out the Surfire 762 brake yesterday. Amazing recoil reduction and a bullseye at 100 yards.

I had my smith put a "Manticore Arms Nightbrake muzzle compensator" on my Compliant model. It isn't as deafening as most of them out there, and yet it really does it's job on my M&P10. I also had him cut me a "thread protector" so that I can unscrew the break and replace it with the "protector" if/when it is a problem on the range. I started out putting one on my son's 300 Win Mag. to reduce the recoil for him. However, the thing I found out is: The thing I like most about a good muzzle break isn't the recoil reduction or muzzle control issue. Yea, those are great benefits, BUT, It's even better how the animals react to a shot! I've been using them on my elk rifles for years, and you wouldn't believe how the rest of the herd just runs around in circles trying to figure out what just happened. If they are over about 150yrds away, they just hear a big noise, but nobody can figure out what it was, or which direction & where it came from. Heck at least 30% of the time, they run around in a circle for a couple of minutes then go back to feeding. It's literally unreal! Using one on my 5.56, If I'm lucky enough to get a shot off before they see me, I've even had coyotes that can't figure which way to run.

I'm running a JP Recoil Comp which virtually eliminated kick. Great for bench shooting, but don't think it would be too practical for offhand.

Running a surefire break on mine...

Had my eye on a Tacticool muzzle brake, but I got a deal ($60.00) on a PRI Quiet Control Brake that I couldn't pass up. Precision Reflex - Product Detail - 308 MSTN Quiet Control Brake SS Black - $83.00 Threw it on the bench, and a few days later my son had spun the S&W Brake/Flash Hider off and indexed the PRI Brake. Have not had a chance to shoot it yet though, probably this weekend.
Planning on buying another M&P10 so that my son and I both have one. The next one will get a Tacticool brake for sure. Muzzle Brakes - Tactical .22 Parts and Accessories To me it looks much better, and I have heard nothing but good reports on its effectiveness..

I'll try one of Tacticool's Brakes as well.

+1 for the SureFire - it gets the job done, and acts as the mount for SureFire's suppressor if you plan to add one in the future (and I do). Of course, you have to live in a state where such things are legal.

The Surefires are a great choice for sure. I have a few on my 556 SBR's with Suppressors. This one is for Iron sight's only and a blast to shoot aas is. Great Hog gun.

BA BattleComp, AKA Big Azz Battle Comp, waiting on next range day to test it out

I use the Surefire SOCOM 7.62. When I installed this brake, I observed on the first few shots that my rifle shot about 8 MOA higher (actual 8" at 100yds) than the scope zero for the original flash hider ... not sure if this is an indicator of anything as I should have measured for muzzle velocity change between the brake and the original flash hider. Also, in playing around with a 30 second timer, I was able to unload a 20 round pmag into a 3" target group at 100 yards from a bipod prone firing position using the Surefire muzzle brake on the rifle (all 20 rounds in the group ... no strays). This wasn't happening with the original flash hider because the rifle kept bouncing high and to the right on the bipod, and took an extra couple seconds to set it back on target each shot.

I just installed a PWS FSC30 on my M&P 10. I haven't tested it out yet, but I've been pretty happy with the same brake on my SCAR 17S, so I expect good results.

Now that you mention it, I need one... Love the idea. Make a 5.56 sound like a 7.62? Might need 2.

Here is a pic of a Tacticool on mine.

Installed a Precision Reflex Quiet Control Brake on our M&P10. Precision Reflex - Product Detail - 308 MSTN Quiet Control Brake SS Black - $83.00
Very effective at reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise, but also very loud.

Will probably try a Tacticool .308 Muzzle Brake next time, AM-2 Muzzle Brake - Black by Tacticool22
Supposed to be quiter than most brakes, but still give decent recoil reduction and reduced muzzle rise.

As the .308 cartridge is a light kicker anyway, especially in the M&P10, recoil reduction is not as important to me as reduced muzzle rise.

Has any one used a clamp on break I have a NJ compliant model with the thick barrel so it's not threaded. I am interested in the Grizzly the hunter, they offer it in both threaded and clamp on and am going back and forth on getting the barrel threaded...
Thanks
James

I would have it threaded just because, I can!!!! F-dem

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Just because you can doesn't mean dick... anyone have a better reason to go threaded. I hear a break can reduce recoil and lift by. 30+%.. Is it worth it to get my barrel threaded? My local gun smith sends rifles out for threading and have to wait for 2 or more people, cost is 65 and losing my rifle for a couple weeks, that's if there's someone else around here who needs their barrel threaded.. I was also thinking about buying a kit and threading it my self, I am an auto tech and very mechanically inclined, I drill tap and die regularly, I also watched a couple tutorials on YouTube, the only thing I'm concerned about is, how far do I thread it, and will the break line up properly when fully seated? Or do I just buy a bolt on which I'm not looking very in favor of..
Thanks James

Had a chance this past weekend to try out my new brake from Tacticool. I am very impressed by the change in recoil. I guess I don't shoot enough because I thought the M&P10 kicked like a mule. After putting on the brake it still kicks but this time I wasn't ready to leave the range when the rest of the guys I was shooting with were.
