Muzzel breaks for my tavor

Shoot it a little first and decide what you want to do with it.

I like to play with night vision, and feel like .223 doesn't have unreasonable recoil anyway, so I put a Surefire Flash Hider on there:

But if you're looking to lessen your muzzle rise I believe PBR Streetgang is still pretty pleased with his Troy Brake.

I'd definitely recommend shooting the gun for a month or two before deciding on how you want to change it
 
I have found that the vent-out-the-front units are noticeably less effective at reducing recoil and flip than those that vent laterally.
No doubt they are louder; this might also be an issue with the bullpup configuration, the muzzle being closer to you.
 
Once you've had a chance to put some rounds downrange and decide if it is really needed I put a Rainier Arms Mini Comp (RMC) on my 14.5" AR and really like it. It is louder than the birdcage though.

I've never shot one but I hear the ATRS brake is pretty good for muzzle rise reduction.

Don't get too carried away until you've put some rounds downrange though. The bullpup should make it easier to control the ferocious recoil of the .223 round better than a regular rifle ;)

Good luck

I've actually had people complain about the recoil. They came from shooting a Colt HBAR with a heavy quad rail, so they were babied but the way the piston and bolt all move at once inside the Tavor made them describe it as "bouncy"

Go figure . . .

The linear brakes are, by design, not as effective as the ones that vent to the side. The main purpose for them is to reduce the "offensiveness" of a brake, while offering moderate recoil and muzzle flip reduction. We found ours to be effective enough to still consider it a useable muzzle brake, but the main feature is the reduction in "offensiveness" while shooting in close quarters or covered range areas. On a shorter barreled rifle, they significantly reduce the "bark" that is heard and felt by your neighbours on the firing line.

That is why I have a linear on my short barrelled upper, and lateral brakes on my competition service rifle uppers.
 
Having shot indoors next to someone with a 11 inch AR and a lateral brake: I appreciate anyone trying to reduce "offensiveness." Being behind it is no problem, but being next to it is a pain in the ass.

I have a shorty ar with a side venting brake and it is abnoxious but nothing like the guy next to me on the weekend with a side venting 338 lapua!
 
Awesome info thanks everyone but my overall goal is to reduce as much recoil and mussel flip as I can to make my follow up shots while running around during 3 gun matches.
