Then why do they continue to call it a muzzle brake in their lawsuit? Call it what it is(a baffle stack), win the lawsuit, and force the ATF to allow me to buy replacement springs for my 762SD.

It is pretty obvious as to what SIG's intent was for this "muzzle brake".

What's your point??? They have been upfront about their intentions since day one.
My point is you can't buy/posess suppressor parts individually and this is a baffle stack.
That is the whole point of this thread and the lawsuit that was filed.

Because it's not a baffle stack until it is enveloped by an outer tube. The issue is not whether or not it's a "baffle stack," it is whether or not it constitutes the legal definition of a "suppressor."
Until then, it is a permanently attached brake. All of their marketing materials claim it to be that, and they will be able to scientifically prove it functions as one. It has three functions that I can see:
1 - Reduce muzzle climb. Fulfilling the design and mission of a muzzle brake.
2 - Mitigate recoil impulse. Fulfilling the design and mission of a muzzle brake.
3 - Extend the barrel length past the 16" limit. A typical industry technique used for the past 30 some years on many firearms that use shorter barrels but are sold as a rifle.
All that's required for it NOT to be a suppressor as defined under law is ONE other function. That's three so far I can find.
It's gonna be funny to see a muzzle brake for sale consisting of titanium K-baffles all welded together.
