timawa Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 With new muzzle brakes came out for competition, with "tuning screws" and all sorts of adjustable parts in the muzzle brake, is simple muzzle brake like Miculek comp getting obsolete? And with all available modifications for AR 15 rifle to reduce recoil, to shoot flatter (like low mass BCGs, adjustable gas blocks, lightweight buffers, etc), does muzzle brake still part of a long journey to a perfect 3 gun rifle?

TRUBL Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 The only people that will tell that it is obsolete will want to sell you one of theirs. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennJeep1618 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I swapped out a Miculek comp with an Ares Effin-A comp this weekend and I'm glad I did. I'll be doing the same swap on another rifle as soon as I stop and order another Effin-A. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Miculek comp is on my Top 3 S**t list for overly noisy muzzle devices. I believe users when they say it is mechanically effective. But, I hate being anywhere near them. Even many users report they hear it more from their position operating the rifle, also. Knowing that all of us can do better for our hearing while still being as mechanically effective means we should strongly consider the alternatives. Simple is fine. Just make sure they are more modern designs that actually use fluid mechanics knowledge in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I still run my Miculek break and love it. RO's don't like it as much LOL. Yeah it's pretty tame when you're the one running the gun. I made the mistake of standing next to mine while taking pictures for a women's day on the rage for the local club. Never doing that again.

LikesToShoot Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 With a list price of $39.99 from Brownell's and "Miculek" in the description I doubt that it will ever become obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with all available modifications for AR 15 rifle to reduce recoil, to shoot flatter (like low mass BCGs, adjustable gas blocks, lightweight buffers, etc), does muzzle brake still part of a long journey to a perfect 3 gun rifle? In my opinion its far from obsolete. Its simple and effective. probably the best value in a muzzle device on the market. An effective muzzle device is still an important component in fine tuning the complete system of a competition AR. As far as blast goes, this is a game with a device that goes BANG, It can be loud, it can be felt, and I've RO'd hundreds if not thousands of shooters with all manner of breaks. Ive never left the range and thought it was bad or uncomfortable or whatever. It aint "Call-of-Duty" on an X-box. If muzzle blast bothers you, stick to the X-box.

EkuJustice Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I don't think it will become obsolete as it just works and isn't that pricy. The fact people like to chase the newest thing doesn't make something obsolete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I like the design. Wear foam ear plugs and muffs any where near an AR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcfarland Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Ha obsolete?? I just set up my rifle with one and it works great. Also have a AP Gen II Little Bastard brake...that thing is load, I thought the Miculek brake is an awesome piece of equipment and sold a couple of other shooters on it today.

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Even if something better is/was made (and the JM brake works great so that is tough), the JM brake is still around $40 It is extremely well designed in my opinion. For example, it doesn't have direct top ports that could be spitting gasses in front of sights but it does have effective vertical control from the way the side ports are cut Edited April 18, 2016 by polymerfeelsweirdman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
