    Just happen to have.
    It sells on Midway for $80 yours $45 shipped. I'd use it if it didn't have the 6.8 on it. SS, 5/8-24 thread. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2367154130/pri-muzzle-brake-quiet-control-5-8-24-thread-ar-15-68mm-remington-spc

    Happy Holidays to you and your.

      Thanks for the offer but after some research decided to go with a Precision Armament M4 72.

        That's a really good MB at reducing recoil, I shot one for a few rounds.
        But be prepared for significant backwash into your face from the gill-like side fins. It's not harsh but seemed like a lot of volume to me.
        It proved to be too much for me. They actually were great about it and took it back full refund.
        If you think of using another from PA, you might look at the M11 as your alternate choice.
        That's what they recommended to me.

          Ya, I looked at that one too, suppose to be one of the best ones out there. A bit pricey but if does the job for you go for it. If you do get it let us know your thoughts.

            Thanks for the heads up. I might give PA a call this week and see what they have to say. The other comp that seems to be a good choice is the SJC Titan. Not sure you can have it both ways with good recoil reduction and not a lot of back noise.

              I would just go with the new ones Odin came out with this year for the Grendel (muzzle device). No tuning involved and you can tweak them yourself. Have two, one on a 20 inch and one on the 16 and both work great.They are not as loud as a full on brake that is for sure. BANG BANG!!

                Why do you need a muzzle brake for such a light recoiling cartridge like the Grendel?
                So far I have avoided all muzzle brakes.

                Here is an interesting post about how only a few shots can really damage your hearing.
                I believe Klem mentioned this in a past post somewhere.

                  If you want to go the $$, look at the APA Lil Ba*rd, I've got that on one of my Creeds -- sweet.
                  Whichever way you go, test them out before you loktite 'em down.
                  I'm sure there are other good ones as well, as some have written.

                      These guys have the VG6 line on sale again. Best price I could find.

                        VM, I'm a bit confused by your term "tanker"... what are we talking - M1 Abrams? Sherman? Panzer? ...
                        If you're looking for a tanker-look-alike, there's the JP Enterprises Recoil Eliminator.

                          That's a great price. I've never been in the market for a VG6, but my BCM needs something besides the A2, and from the performance of the brake on the Grendels, I'm suddenly interested. Thanks for sharing.

                            My pleasure. I love their Epsilon on my my 5.56. I hope the gamma 65 doesn't disappoint.
