6.5 Grendel Muzzle Brake (What is the best?)

[jasper2408]

I just contacted VG6 about the 6.5 brakes to see what is up. Will post the response when/if I get one.

Edit:
Got their response.

Hi, they have been discontinued

Any chance you asked why?
Seems like all they'd have to do is under bore a .30 cal unit...


Griffin still has their taper mount comps... and a few others...

Nope I didn't ask them.

As someone who just runs a .30 cal unit on my Grendel, there really isn't any practical difference that I can tell. Heck, I have a Gamma 6.5 on my AR10, that I can probably trade if it's important to anyone.

I may have one from when I put the can on I will check

I really like Lantac Dragon muzzle brakes. I tried maybe 4 different Mfg's and watched many comparison tests on YouTube and the L.D. was always very highly rated. Just go to YouTube and type Muzzle brake comparison into the search bar, lots of Vids on this come up.

FWIW, Desert Tech has a pretty good 6.5MM unit on the MDR. It's made for a 20" 6.5CM, but I imagine will do OK on a shorter BBL 6.5 Grendel. It works quite well, and makes the MDR a pleasant rifle to shoot.

I'm kinda interested in the Wilson Q comp.
I'm in the middle of building a 16" with a barrel from sixfiveoutfitters (thanks to this forum)
I have a VG6 to put on it, but I'm all about trying 'shorter' stuff. Muzzle devices are cheap "toys" to try out after all.
I only have 2 other guns with brakes.. otherwise I have 3 prongs and some other stuff.
my 12" Grendel has a griffin linear comp on it with the taper mount threads.

Thought I'd jump in and give my favorite muzzle brake for every caliber. Witt Machine makes ready-to-ship brakes for .30 and 5.56, but offers the custom option for any caliber you have. I have already used 3 of them. One for my AR-10/308, a .50 Beowulf AR pistol and my custom made AR-10 in .22-250. I am currently building my 6.5 Grendel now, and I will be ordering one for this. They consistently add approximately 8-10 dB in noise pressure, however they totally help with recoil and muzzle rise beautifully. Spec your caliber, cerakote color, thread pattern and you're ready to go. These have five fins with multiple ports up top, and they are hands-down gorgeous on every rifle. I hope my recommendation is welcomed. Have a great day!

If it was mentioned earlier in the thread I missed seeing it, the JP Recoil Eliminator is hard to beat if you don't mind the looks of them.
