Flash-hiders, Muzzlebrakes ...

[Otokiak]

Let's see what type of flash-hider or muzzlebrake you have on your M14 rifles ... let's hear about function, noise, etc on them. I'm doing a M14 shorty build and not sure what to go with for mine. I'm liking the AT15 that a fellow CGNer's got from ATRS, I'm liking the SureFire muzzlebrake and just watched a video on it function ... it's sweet! I currently have a few flash-hiders to choose from ... but thinking a brake is in order for my build. POST YOUR PICS please ...

Here's my SMITH ENT muzzlebrake on my shorty Norky ... it works great as there is hardly any kick. Also here is my Springfield flash-hider with no bayo lug ... which I'll be changing to my USGI one with bayo lug.

Here's a USGI with bayo lug and a springfield brake ...

This is a brake made by Leo Cormier. I have just put it on and haven't really gotten to hammer a bunch of rounds out yet, but I will be soon. I have a couple friends who use it and they like it alot. I can elaborate more when I get out of the house and give it a try.

Otokiak is that SF brake for an M14? I might need to get one

 

[Otokiak]

Yes it is ... I sent them an e-mail asking about shipping over the border if possible ... I WANT ONE after watching their video on it.

Consider the Smith Enterprises manufactured 'Good Iron' muzzle brake as well in your shortlist. I have fired with it extensively, but unfortunately do not own one yet.

I found that a 22" rifle equipped with it to be exceptionally soft shooting which allowed for much faster follow-on shots. The blast deflection for bystanders is impressive but not as uncomfortable as that of an SVT40. I assume that the dissipation would be similar in a 'shorty' with a touch more pronounced deflection. The build quality was top notch and the parkerizing was almost a complete match for the Norc parkerizing.

I simply have a USGI flash suppressor on mine now and probably going to keep it that way , im not really a fan of muzzle breaks . Plus im addicted to the nice ring the USGI flash sup adds to my rifle lol.
