Help ID muzzle device

[84wh1]

I bought this off the EE. it was advertised at PWS. I had my suspicions so I contacted PWS and they confirmed that it was not one of theirs. Anyways, the seller was good about things and returned some money. No issues there. Anyways just wondering if anyone here knows what brand of muzzle device this is?

Those are a PWS TT knockoffs. The dead giveaway is the threaded end not having the raised collar and laser etched PWS logo. Not sure who made 'em but I've yet to see a brand name attached to a knockoff.

It was also manufactured 'quickly'/ Note the step marks in the 'gills'.

Looks like they didn't do any finish passes and you can see the depth cuts from the endmill. Esthetic issue only.

Yeah I figured it was a knock off...especially after PWS confirmed that it wasnt one of theirs. I guess I was hoping it was still a brand name so I could trust it not blowing up in my face

I doubt it would blow up in your face. As long as the bore is bigger than the bullet and true enough so the bullet doesn't 'kiss' the side of it, you should be gtg

Also depends on the material used and how they heat-treated it. I saw some muzzle devices here on CGN that split open and exploded, without injury to the shooter, from a Canadian manufacturer. I guess they weren't heat-treated properly.

I'm still a little curious what happened with that manufacturers brake.

Even improperly heat treated......something seems off. I've seen brakes made from aluminum. They etch and erode really bad but they don't banana.

A lot of brakes aren't even 'heat treated' per se. Some use annealed steel, some harden them after machining, some use pre-hardened steel.

Aside from a bullet strike or a pre-existing crack.........
