Which muzzle brake to choose?

[IM_Lugger]

Which one should I choose for my Norinco M4?

I like the look of Vortex (2nd one) better but Medieval (1st one) it pretty useful

OR

I have a vortex on my 20" HBar.

Not a fan of both but if I had to choose it would be #2

 

[Stevo]

The Vortex isn't a brake at all. It's a flash suppressor.

 

[johNTO]

I vote for Vortex(#2)...but like you said, #1 may be useful (to pound meat?)

 

[EvilDezel]

PWS FSC556 or the Surefire MB556K would be my choices.

 

[Clobbersauras]

This Dlask A6 is the best muzzle brake I've tried for the AR.

double post again.

Depends what you want. Good muzzle brakes can be very pricey (battlecomp, triple tap ect) If you dont need a brake or any special performance, its up to looks really.

The vortex works very well as a flash suppressor, not sure why you need a brake on a 223

 

[IM_Lugger]

I just don't like the one that's my gun now.

The A6 clob speaks of works great, and also the ATRS 15 one works good as well and looks good. Others such as the PWS Triad seem to work nicely as well.

1)Cosmetic.... a lot like putters

2) Ease of getting back on target faster....
I didn't really believe it, but the timer doesn't lie about how quickly you can
transition between targets with double taps.

For brake I'd recommend PWS FSC556, or lesser extent Vltor VC-1.

I've just ordered the PWS Triad from Questar so I'll see how it works compare to the 2 above.

The guy in the second video couldn't possibly be doing it right.

He isn't using that rediculous thumb over the top hold and he's not pretending to look around, without actually looking around, like the guy in the first video.

I'd love to see some side/by side comparison when you get the PWS. I've been toying with changing out the A2 flash hider on my 10.5 AR, but have no idea where I'd like to go lol.

 

[IM_Lugger]

I ordered the Vortex brake/flash hinder. Always liked that look

 

[mebiuspower]

The Vortex is not a brake... *sigh*...

The Triad will be less of a muzzle brake compare to the FSC556, which will be better for people (ie. the RO) standing next to me. It's also nearly half the price of the FSC. I expect it to perform similar to the VC-1 but I can't provide a fair side-by-side comparison since the VC-1 is on my 11.5" barrel vs the Triad which will go on a 16" barrel.

BWAHAHAHAAAAH !!! pound meat...good one...

still , i like the first one looks solid. you can never have enough sturdiness

as for the other one , you hit it against something , looks like it could bend the protruding pieces


i would go with the dlask one...its even better than your 2 choices...but probably more $$

This Dlask A6 is the best muzzle brake I've tried for the AR.

who sells that ?(on the canadian market , preferably online) i want one
