I'm building my first AR and I've settled on the AA 18" lite barrel in stainless. Wanting to stay with the stainless theme, I'm looking for help to see what SS hider/compensator options are out there. Any suggestions, please?

There is a decent assortment at brownells, https://www.brownells.com/search/ind...rakes&psize=96. No idea if they are any good. I actually like target crowns.

I've got this one for sale $45 shipped. It's a great brake, my only problem, it has 6.8 engraved on it and I don't want the 6.8 on my 6.5.

I went with this:
But almost did this one:
Experience superior recoil control with Precision Armament M41 Severe-Duty Muzzle Brake. Ideal for heavy bullets and fast twist rates.
Got a deal on the VG6 and its smaller and lighter.
But, i haven't finished my build yet so can't vouch for its effectiveness. thetruthaboutguns.com has a number of muzzle device "bake-off" articles that might be helpful to look at.

Getting my first AR build together and didn't know anything about muzzle devices other than shooting in the lane next to some is almost painful.
Just found out about some that are made to throw the sound and concussion forward away from the shooter. I think that's a great idea, I may try the micro version of this: KAK https://www.midwayusa.com/product/10...aluminum-matte"In any war, political or battlefield; truth is the first casualty."

but you need to make sure your choice has the 9/16-24 threading...
Also, using a 7.62 or a 6.5 makes only about a 1% difference according to the MB tests I read online - those writeups are pretty good.
On one rifle I used a 9/16-24--5/8-24 adapter (precision armament) but then used the 7.62 version of the MB to ensure that tolerance stacking would not cause me a problem.
On the noise vs recoil suppression, it's a physics thing... downrange comp=more recoil less sound. side discharge=less recoil and more noise. The only MB that really got to me was the M4-72 MB... recoil was next to nil but the "blast wash" blowing back to my face was not comfortable. Not dangerous but just not comfortable with it. They took it back no problem when I emailed them, so thumbe up to those guys.Last edited by grayfox; 11-10-2017, 04:19 PM."Down the floor, out the door, Go Brandon Go!!!!!"
