Muzzle brake for DPMS LR-6.5

kuca_2004 · May 18, 2015, 07:29 PM

I am looking for a muzzle brake for my AR. I have the Precision Armament M-11 Severe Duty brake. It made the gun extremely loud. So I am just asking around to see what other people like to use for a muzzle brake...

any brake that actually controls muzzle rise and recoil is going to make it louder. the compromise would be a linear compensator that directs the noise forward and therefore is perceived quieter

Muzzle breaks ARE loud. They re-direct gases that normally go forward to the sides and rear.

Consider one of the KX3/flashcan types. These tend to direct the blast downrange after getting the benifit of tbe Break

^^^ THIS!! I have a KX3 on my 16.5" .308 semi-auto and it does an amazing job. It replaced a muzzle brake and the rifle is now much more comfortable to shoot! No perceivable flash and the over pressure & felt recoil were noticeably reduced when using a variety of 7.62 NATO loads. Also, the small can attached to the muzzle looks a bit odd at first on a longer barrel (compared to an SBR) but I'm really liking it now.

There is no free lunch when it comes to muzzle brakes the better they reduce recoil (what they are made to do) the louder they are going to be. Let me know when you find one that reduces recoil effectively and isn't loud.....
