Default M&P Sport Flash Hider

Hello I am new to the AR scene, and was just wandering if the flash hider on the M&P 15 sport can be replaced with a muzzle brake, and if it can what are the thread measurements for the barrel?

Take a look at the Rainier XTC for a good compensator/hider but the folks next door will notice the noise.

That's a good looking comp. I live several miles outside city limits so neighbors aren't really a problem.

what about the 15T? Does it have the same threads? I don't think it's staked either?

Pretty much all AR15's have the same threads. Even the 15-22 has the same.

This is true for the .22 calibers in AR-15. Some of the other calibers will have different threads, like 6.8 and 300 AAC...
