We will have a new muzzle brake and front sight combo that offers a significant alternative to what is in the market now. I will also say, I am focused on VALUE. This item is on the table now. 2 months approx..

Although that brake looks oddly familar???As a fellow Canuck, I've shortened over 100 M14 type rifles. I usually go to 18.5" as barrel length, which is Canuck legal minimum length for a cut rifle barrel, or 18.75",for a bit oif a safety margin, but have done some at 19" and 20" as well.
These barrels are almost always removed from the receiver, cut, crowned, and threaded properly on a lathe, then reinstalled. However, if you work slowly and carefully,it is possible to leave the barrel installed and cut and crown the chrome lined Chinese M14 barrels with only hand tools. Some sort of piloted reamer is advisable for truing the bore and cutting the crown.

I have used various front sight set ups, and many different muzzle devices.

Most of these muzzle devices were threaded to AR 15 standard 1/2" x 28 TPI. The outside diameter on the Chinese barrels at the cut off point can vary tremendously, limiting the size of the thread you can use, but 1/2" X 28 TPI will always fit, and this size allows for the easy fitting of all those AR 15 muzzle accessories. Just don't forget to ream out the bore of any compensator or muzzle brake to the proper ID for a .30 Cal bullet.
If you are attempting to go with a CLAMP on muzzle device, I would recommend you limit yourself to ONLY the Flash Hider type of devices. A true muzzle brake or compensator will be subject to a lot of gas pressure trying to rip the device off the barrel. The Flash Hider devices don't get nearly as much pressure and stress on them.
OR,
if you have access to precision welding, you might want to try welding a tube on to the gas lock, creating a longer version of the SOCOMplicated style of muzzle brake. The heat treat on the gas lock will probably be ruined, but Norc gas locks are cheap here in Canuckistan.
OR,
think up some other way of clamping the muzzle device to the gas assembly???
Good luck with that ...

Do muzzle brakes really lessen the recoil on the m14's and does it really make it louder?
just an honest question here guys.
