93notch Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hey everyone, i got a new upper ready to go and i am looking for a new muzzle brake. I shoot all factory loaded 55 and 75 grain ammo so not light loads. Anyways, on my current upper i have the m4-72 brake and it has been a good one but looking for something different for the new one. The ones that i have been looking at are the Rise 701, the Coda ti brake, or the APA answer. Looking for real world thoughts and opinions. I am not set on one of those 3 just the 3 i have been looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Un4givin Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 The APA breaks are great, I haven’t shot The Answer but have some time behind the little bastard and their design is very effective. Another great alternative is the SJC titan break. It’s very effective at keeping the gun flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93notch Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 I have a little bastard on my long gun and it’s great but it’s damn loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertia Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Try the hypertap better than the m4-72, all of the brakes you listed besides answer are lower performing than the one you already have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtruong Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I've run the BCM Gunfighter Mod 0, Surefire MB556 and ProComp, JP 3-port Competition, and APA Answer, and my favorite is definitely the APA. Extremely light (~2oz), which really reduces the swing weight of the rifle vs. something big like the JP 3-port. Really enjoying my APA, and the ability to tune the recoil impulse is huge. The top ports really help drive down the muzzle rise, and the ability to self-time the brake is also great. Would absolutely recommend the APA Answer over any other brake out on the market.

93notch Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 I love the apa on my big stuff, Just they have a sticker shock on their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA308 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Do you have any plans on using a suppressor in the future as that might change the answers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I’ve been using a 3 port JP for the last year or so and really like it, however I will be switching over to an APA Answer when I finish my new build, I really like the idea of being able to find tune the muzzle rise. The shooters I know that have made the switch swear by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verla Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I have used a two port JP and the 3 port Miculek on my 223 for years and either one does a great job of aiding in reducing recoil. There are a lot of comps out there- you just have to make up your mind which one is the best for you- i.e.which one fits your criteria. You can also do other things to your rifle to help reduce recoil- adjustable gas block, lpw mass operating systems, etc. These will all add up to help reduce recoil, which is not that much for a 223 compared to a 308 or larger caliber.

I run the SJC Titan on both of my competition rifles. They shoot flat, but damn they are loud. My son uses the Miculek break on his rifle. for the price, it's another good option.

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 For the money you cannot beat the miculek. I don't know if you can beat it period for a non-adjustable brake. The armalite brake is very customizable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetrulis01 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Get "The Answer". I bought it and it is the best muzzle brake I have ever used. Another plus is that it is lighter as well so i can swing he rifle faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
