CZ 457 Scout model muzzle device options?

[.22LRGUY]

Hey guys-I think Tikka got it right with the T1x MTR, the threaded muzzle has a thread protector that is flush to the barrel/looks like there is nothing there until you look close, but I think the thread protector is plastic? With the 457 Scout, it's knurled and proud of the barrel. Looks awful in my opinion. Would prefer if it was blued steel/flush to the barrel.

Don't love the idea of even a linear brake, let alone a "faux" suppressor...but are there other options? Don't want to have one made, but considering it. lol

Ideas?

I think Nordic used to have thread protectors, European sized

The new CZ457 comes with a flush, seamless thread protector that matches the barrel finish. (Mine did at least)
