Swiss Arms CQB 223 Muzzle Comp

[DDay Boy]

Can anyone recommend a muzzle comp for the CQB. Would like to try and minimize the barrel lift. Thank you for all advice, reference.. The barrel is 8.9" long if that helps.

I am not sure what threads you have on there, but I would look for a linear brake if I was going to use one. It is going to be loud.

Got my mechanic to put a noveske flaming pig on mine but it wasn't that short.

It's gonna be TOUGH to find one for the CQB. It's a weird thread if I recall, and Noveske only did a small run of the KX3's a long time ago.

Anything you want is probably going to be custom made. To be honest - I'd just use the stock one! You'll be hard pressed to find something else that makes that big of a difference.

You could try some "AK-74 style" muzzle brake (with 14x1 LH threading), should work pretty well (not the prettiest muzzle device though). I used to have one in my CQB, but I've been using a "homemade" brake instead lately. Double hearing protection warmly recommended Muzzle blast with a brake is hmm almost unpleasant.

KX3 is better for taming the muzzle blast, but I don't think it's the best muzzle device for reducing barrel lift. Evidently KX3 also increases the "back pressure" (I have impression that it was designed for boosting AR-15 SBR cycling), and CQB is already more or less "over gassed" out of the box, in my opinion (I have extra/custom port in my CQB gas valve with reduced 1.1 mm diameter, for little smoother cycling).
