biglou13 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) im very new to the game I think the muzzle brake is the number one modification in my book for getting gun to shoot flat i feel like i stumbled upon the perfect brake i really have only extensively shot the vais and birdcage thanks to uncle sam got to thinking what else is there you cant really just test drive muzzle brakes wish you try before buy any suggestions what to look for (spying others guns at range) too many choices to run a poll What muzzle break are you using? (optional pictures and why?) weblink? mine is a schuler, not a big name mfgr. maybe even a garage machinist, im told design is similar to holland brake. but ive had a few shoot it and got the WOW! haven't trained enough with it but my splits are near if not better than handgun.

Hoosiershooter Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Armalite 3 gun brake. It's as near perfect as you can get. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think the best for the money used to be the miculek, now I think that title has to go to the AR stoner titan copy. Brakes seem to be very personal as to what is "best" but it is pretty easy to tell when you get a crappy one. As to what is actually the best, I don't know.

P.E. Kelley Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) WOOHOO!!! Another what muzzle brake thread! Miculek best for the money, but what do I know? OK boys jump in with your favorite! Comp test articles below. http://www.multigunmedia.com/pk-compensation.pdf http://www.multigunmedia.com/ar15-comps-pt-2.pdf In all honesty...Pick one and practice. Matches are not won nor lost on what muzzle brake you use. Edited December 16, 2015 by P.E. Kelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slbrugby Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) http://i.imgur.com/7PALSkr.png Check out this table - someone ran a few tests where it showed AR15 muzzle device vs recoil average distance. There are a lot more brakes out there that are not on the list - but it isn't a bad place to start. Edited December 16, 2015 by slbrugby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBets Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I run the m4-72 by Precision Armament...I also run a piston gun in the pro series and may be the only one left doing so....I will say this, when it comes to recoil mitigation, and thats not substantial in 223 anyway, the M4-72 makes .15 splits at 40 yard targets easily done with full power loads and a piston gun with heavy carrier. Its all I will run from now on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric1231 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 How is the muzzle blast on the m4-72 or the armalite brake ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannybot Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I run YHM Phantom. It's not too loud or much flash, reduces recoil well, same size and weight as A2 flash hider and only costs $25 Not much on the cool factor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterDrew Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I don't have much experience with brakes.... Shot rifles for years but none with a brake till last year. What a great new world!! Haha. Had what I felt to be good results with a surefire procomp.. Not terribly expensive either, about $50.

igolfat8 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I had a PA M4-72 and it worked great as a brake. However I personally did not like the rearward blast. The blast would hit the bill of my ball cap and funnel the air under my glasses and water my eyes so badly that I could not see for follow up shots. I returned it in exchange for their M11-SPR. This is almost as efficient of a brake as the M4 but the blast does not hit my face. Plus it has top ports (which the M4 doesn't have) and works to control muzzle rise.
