I have a few guns with flash hiders, muzzle breaks and also just thread protectors. I can say that many of these devices vent the gasses back toward you which makes the rifle even louder to the shooter and anyone around you at the range. In fact my ar10 is so loud that others around move to different benches to get away from the sound and air pressure wave that hits them and makes them flinch. I do load pretty hot rounds but it is something to consider. I am probably going to get rid of the extra barrel attachments all together. Reduce weight and noise back at me. When hunting deer I seldom need a quick follow up shot anyway so muzzle jump and recoil isnt really an issue.
Flash Hider or Muzzle Brake

DOUBLE HEARING PROTECTION AND A MUZZLE BRAKE IS WHAT I USE. Haha, yes, intentionally shouting. I like to see my impacts while shooting if possible (I shoot a lot of steel). I recently found killer deals on eBay for VG6 Gamma brakes and I installed them on a bunch of my guns. I went with the 6.8 variety for my Grendel. There's two guys selling them on eBay and they're in a price war.

The recoil of the AR Grendel is similar to the 7,62X39 and a brake can lesson the recoil impulse for a faster follow up shot which is the point of a semi auto in the first place. A break or flash hider will protect the muzzle better from damage and foreign material compared to a thread protector just by its length and design. An accidental poke in the dirt with a break or flash hider is easier to see than a muzzle thread protector and keeps the bore farther away from such obstructions.Last edited by montana; 04-14-2017, 03:14 PM.
