Mini 14 muzzle brakes?
So are there any good pin on muzzle brakes for the 581 series mini?

They are hard to find, because the variety of barrel diameters. I tried a few that said they fit the 581, but they didn’t.
If I could go back in time, I should have had the muzzle threaded. |

No. Pin-0n brakes are loose on the barrel, so they have a large open chamber with no restriction in order to avoid bullet strikes, Threaded brakes are the way to go, they maintain alignment with the bore and are a better solution to your problem.
But hey, if you just want tacticool looks, do whatever floats your boat.

I'm curious as to why one would want one on a mini.

Since then I’ve removed it, don’t hunt anymore really. I have a 24” AR that needs no brake. But as far as AR carbines go, I like linear brakes just for the perceived noise reduction for the shooter. The rest I just have something to put on the threads like a birdcage. |

I would love to have the barrel threaded. Is there enough barrel in front of the sight? Some weight up front can help with accuracy.
