Yeah that's an issue. What's your question though? The sf brake is longer and the ports are at the end. That's why it works where your setup doesn't.

My question is simply this: Is anyone else out there running a 14" Fortis Rail on a 14.5" barrel successfully, and if so what muzzle brake have you found that works? The only pic I've seen of a setup that looks like it may be functional is one that features the Surefire MB556. Unfortunately I don't have a store around me that stocks a wide selection of brakes that would allow me to test fit them prior to purchasing. If anyone knows of a brake that has ports further out than the PWS FSC556 I'd appreciate the info. |

What the hell happened there? I believe the pressure from the upward muzzle blast caused the aluminum handguard to fracture since it wasn't clear of the handguard. Exactly what I am wanting to avoid. |

I'm thinking about doing a 14.5" build with the Fortis 14, has anyone figured out anymore options besides the Surefire as far as muzzle devices go?

Depending on how much thread you have to play with, you may be able to shim your compensator with washers and extend it a few millimeters which should give you the length you need to clear the leading edge of the rail.
You don't have to worry about the compensator backing off the barrel since you'll be pinning it. |

He's using an upside down A2, so I'm not sure that would do it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Rainier told me today that their XTC comp is compatible with the REV 14, still waiting to hear back from Fortis to see their input on the subject.

Wanted to do 14" Fortis rail on my 14.5" FN barrel. Unfortunately, didn't catch this thread until after purchasing the rail and a Griffin Armament M4SDII Flash/comp. Flash comp is currently shipping but I'm going to try it out and see if it clears. I spoke with a board member on here who ran the 14" Fortis with the Surefire MB556, he did his homework much better than I did and showed me that the Fortis comes in closer to 14.8". Not wanting to go with the Surefire MB556, and upon confirming the M4SDII Flash/comp will not clear (suspecting it won't from photos), I am going to either wait for a device more preferable to me to be discovered OR will look to pick up a 14" Centurion CMR. This rail measures 13.688" so I will not be as limited in my choices of muzzle devices.

Not a cheap fix but something like a centurion 14.7 barrel would get it out the a bit more. Damned good barrel too. It would also let you run any comp you chose and not just the extended one made for 14.5 barrels.
