So I hate thread protectors

[scuba52]

What would you run for a “brake”. I’m thinking dlask blast diffuser, what are you using

 

[uAJollyRogering]

I like a thread protector to keep the barrel clean and short. if I were going to put a "functional" muzzle device on a 22 maybe something like a surefire war comp? keep the muzzle a little flatter. or just a standard birdcage flash hider.

Whose is that

I'm going to be trying out a linear comp on my 12.5" tuff 22 build in the next couple weeks. Hopefully it tames the blast a little bit for gopher season.

I have Dlask XB-5 linear brakes on both of my Dlask barrels (one 12.5" and one 16"), more as thread protectors than as brakes. Seem to work just fine.

I like the Spectre Ballistics Hex brake, this is on a .223 and makes a noticeable difference. Barrel size is .690 for size comparison to what others may have.

Not trying to be difficult but why does anyone need a muzzle brake on a .22 rimfire?

 

[scuba52]

I don’t need one, but I find thread protectors annoying

So you can hear it and be sure you pulled the trigger far enough?

Just thinking out-loud...
- Scare a Liberal
- Because he wants to/or want to
- Make more noise

I've never bothered to confirm, but I've been told that brakes have a positive effect on barrel harmonics.

That’s interesting.

Would a 223 brake work, or so they need to be specifically made for 22?

Cut the threads off and recrown.

All liberals know that thread protectors are just to hold the rifling in the barrel .
But put a compensator on and the libs will come running from the shadows to condemn your silencer.

 

[Blairsville]

Changed out my tikka one with just a stainless plain version that is a bit longer which will protect the crown it did not change the grouping but im sure if you add lot of weight up there you might change the harmonics witch would make things better or worse or like mine the same.

Read the title of the thread, it’s self explanatory lol.

I find they come loose and just want something permanent. I did like the idea of the birdcage. Couldn’t find one locally but found something similar

223 works

I’m curious if I even can, have an 18 inch barrel, can it be cut down?
