What happened to all the RFB threads?

Why would you put a muzzle device on one of these? When the gas system is set correctly the recoil is very smooth so a brake is not needed at all and all a linear would do is add weight to the muzzle.

Actually the linear that Kel-tec put on my rifle at the factory makes the rifle a whole lot more enjoyable, the first thing you notice is the lack of a blast wave hitting your face, the second thing you notice is when prone or shooting off a pack you don't kick up nearly as much dust as the flash hider that is supplied with some of the variants....

For the few oz's it adds I'd rather have it than 6" more barrel.

are you trying to say I don't shoot my rifles and play COD?


6" more tube would make it "less" compact but when you compare it to a regular length hunting rifle and see that even if it was 6" longer it would still be close to 12" shorter than something like my aught-6 with a 24" tube...

I would not have that long of a barrel on an "aught-6" either. I use to be the same way with heavy rifles and long barrels and slowly went to lighter and more compact setups and the old ones just collect dust now as they rarely ever come out of the safe, If they did not have sentimental value I would probably have sold them. If you prefer a longer barrel that is preference more than actual need in most hunting scenarios with these calibers.

I prefer less weight an OAL in a hunting rifle that would see me use it regularly, to each their own i guess.
 
Imo 24" defeats the purpose. I hunt with the kel-tec muzzle brake without any problems. I see my rfb as a 1-300 yard hunting rifle.

A hunting gun is a compromise, if it short you loose range ; long you loose portability in wooded area, it's heavier but with better velocity. You want fast follow-up shot you get a semi, you loose accuracy; you get a bolt action with a 4 round mag your shot are alot slower but morr precise. You get a fnar, m1a match/ super match with moa accuracy with a good scope and all the sudden you supper precise semi auto is 14 pounds and you can't hike with it etc etc etc. I could go on all night!

Point is pick your poison and more importantly pick the gun thats right for your hunt. Think your what's is the average distance your shot could be, what's the maximum range YOU feel comfortable shooting and what is the maximum range you may encounter. What the terrain you will be hunting in; feild? Forest? Mountain range? Logging lands? Will you be ridding around in a truck, atv, will you be walking or hunting from a stand/blind?

So yeah my rfb is ideal for me but for you it might be a savage 270, a mia super match or a tika t3 300 win mag who knows....
