It is like that on both sides. Gas is directed up and rearward to assist with muzzle jump and recoil. That is the ATRS AT15 Brake.

Nice rifle Matt.
Got around to testing accuracy on my .223 Modern Sporter the other day, thought I'd share as I'm using a MRA pencil barrel and not a lot of accuracy report are out there on them.
Barrel: 18.6" Maple Ridge Armoury 5R Guardian Pencil Barrel, 223 Wylde, 1:8 twist
Conditions: Shooting almost directly into a 18-23 km/hr wind, off a bench with bipod and rear bag, scope at 8x with distance at 100 meters
Round #1 - Bulk Federal American Eagle 55gr FMJ
Impressions: About what you would expect - some good (1.52 MOA) and some bad (3.43 MOA). Looks to be around the typical ~2 MOA that this ammo gives. So no knock on the MRA barrel here.
Round #2 - Nosler Match Grade 60gr Ballistic Tip
Impressions: Definitely pleased to see how well the Nosler stuff performed. It at least proves these MRA barrels are capable of sub-MOA with some decent ammo.
Round #3 - Hornady ELD Match 73 gr
Impressions: Disappointed this was marginally if any better than the bulk AE 55gr FMJ stuff I got at less than 35c/round. Not sure what to make of this as a 1:8 twist should have no trouble on 73 grainers, no?

I agree that the 73gr should have shown better, but it could be the barrel just didn't like that ammo. Twist rate of 1 in 8 should have no issues there.
