Anyone change the brake on their XCR-M?

[Boomer686]

I'm thinking of changing the muzzle brake on my XCR-M so I'm looking for ideas. Anyone do it yet and if so what did you replace it with?

Thinking a .308 Lantac or Ares Armor Effin-A would look good! RDSC has .308 Ares Armor's and is getting Lantac's

Griffin Armament 7.62 Tactical Comp does a very good job keeping the muzzle leveled.

I like the xcr-m brake. Seems to be very effective, and loud!

The Lantac looks good (none in stock in Canada that I can find). YHM makes a slanted one that has been getting good reviews as well and is a little cheaper than the Lantac. I have no real world experience with either so I can't comment on them.

My xcr-m brake was loud as hell and did nothing for recoil so I replaced it with a s&j hardware linear comp.

I replaced mine with a PWS PRC... ###y muzzle device, I haven't fired it yet (GTA range issues) so can't comment on how well it works

I can tell you that the Lantac works well and very loud. Also you might want to consider a sure fire it works awesome to

What kind of muzzle flash do you get?

 

[walterklassen]

I never noticed much muzzle flash.

Good to know as I don't want an overpowering flash each time I fire.

have ares effin a with top column unplugged and one to the right side. Not much flash/noise =/

Xcr-m stock brake is too loud. I would love to find something that was quieter.

So is it a love hate relationship lol? I don't think you can find an effective .30 brake that is quiet.

Love-hate relationship is a good way of putting it. I love the way it looks and I believe that it really tames the recoil, but it is loud. I agree, the magical "quiet brake" is probably not out there.

I have a A2 flash hider and a Surefire 7.62 Socom brake as well for mine. Both work great. I use the A2 hider on it now, I like the look better.

I find it works well as a brake..just looking for something different.

I made the mistake of shooting mine with no hearing protection when I first got it. WOW that was a mistake. I changed it to a Troy linear compensator and it is like a "rifle" now. I had to change, as this is a hunting gun which gives me no chance to wear ear plugs. The muzzle flash will be the least of the wild boars problem. LOL

Is there a significant increase ion muzzle flash compared to the OEM brake?

 

[aylandacres]

I haven't noticed any muzzle flash out of the ordinary, but I haven't shot it in low light conditions yet.
