Anyone have any thoughts on which brake to go with after a shorty job? Was looking at the Springfield Armoury M1A Muzzle Brake/Stabilizer from Brownells(part#817-000-002) mainly because it's relatively inexpensive and lets you reuse your stock sites. Or possibly the Troy Flash Suppressor Muzzle Brake (part#100-004-123) and then a gas lock sight. Would either of these require boring out/changing the thread count/pitch? t doesn't mention if they are threaded to
Any and all input appreciated

I have been wanting to do this for over a year now, I bought the Springfield brake from Brownells and I was planned to bring it in to Jeff at VGS in Petawawa but I cant stop buying more firearms ...lol
The Springfield brake has a nicer finish than in the pic supplied by brownells
Ellwood Epps said they would do the work for me as well
Misanthropist did it awhile ago and I stole his pics off here
Rugbydave the springfield one has lugs inside the same as the original flashider , I mounted mine and have been using it until I get the barrel cut and the brake honed and threaded ....1/2 x 28 TPI is the pitch I beleive.This is a pic of mine.
Here are a few more pics I found..good luck and let us know how it goes...when I eventually stop buying new guns I will post some pics when I get mine done.

I wrote that before I had bought that brake and before the clinic. The brake is still on and I haven't shortied the rifle yet. There's a nice, noticeable reduction in jump and recoil push vs just a flash hider...
I tried putting the brake someone gave me in Port Alberni on my gun and it didn't work
That Springfield brake is looking pretty tight, I may have to go with that one.
Dude, sucks that flash hider I gave you was a dud... Glad I just gave it to ya though. And yeah, the springfield brake is nice and a pretty good bargain too, compared to the SEI one, which I'll grant is bad-ass...

Do you remember how it went on kind of crooked? Unfortunately bullets are hitting the bottom of it. I'm going to have to put the old crappy one back on. Maybe I just put the new on one crooked, who knows, we'll see once I get some castlenut pliers.
Speaking of which I still owe you for the thing. Do you want some Federal blue box ammo?
