RTUtah, got your lil brother right here
 I think most people here don't use brakes because: Foolish comments about flash suppressors edited out. If you are unconcerned about having to use your rifle in low light that's fine, but don't make snide comments about others who are. -Aimless Quoted: would Noveske install a fcs556 fsc556 on one of there uppers? Or should I just go with one of there brakes? Thanks John You can install one yourself, It's not to difficult. Just a little patience if you use the peel washer. |

No love for brakes at all here. If I couldn't have a FH I would have someone make me a permanent thread protector.

I run brakes on my SBRs, but I also run suppressors on my SBR

Not the greatest pic but LMT 14.5"+FSC556
People shooting beside me do not like it but I built it in case I ever wanted to shoot in NJ, where I'm from, all I'd have to do is take 5min to dremel off the bayo lug and swap for my fixed M4 stock. |

Yeah, next-door shooters hate the brake but things are rough all over these days.
 Cool thing about the Surefire brakes is that they double as suppressor adapters.

I just installed an FSC556 on my middy. I think a lot of people are using them b/c they're effective....and available. I want an SF brake, but I can't find one anywhere.
ETA: I had a Troy FH on a couple of my uppers.....but how does the Troy brake work? Good/bad? |

All my guns run the FSC556 break. I can't have a flash hider here either, so this works best for me.

I hate brakes. recoil on a 5.56 is not that bad. if your barrel is threaded get a thread protector from adco

tt350z,
Only problem I see with putting it on myself is here in Mass it has to be pinned. How hard is that to do? Is the fsc556 the way to go ? Thanks John |

My old post-Band AR had a Kurts Kustom Firearms brake, it worked very well. I miss that man. RIP Brother!

Thanks John I've been fortunate enough to live in free states so I've never had to pin and weld it. Rainier Arms and Adco will provide that service for you. You can also do it at home, heres a tutorial just scroll down As for the FSC556, I used to use one. It was effective at reducing flash while reducing muzzle rise. However, I don't have a need for a FS and the Surefire was more effective (for me) at controlling muzzle rise since it's a a pure comp not a compromise |

The three slot Armalite brake was very, very nice at keeping the sights on target as you shoot. It did very little for flash, but sure made it unpleasant to be anywhere but directly behind the rifle.
I shot a braked Armalite .308 in a match once. Poor guys next to me.. I could see them rock in the backwash every time I fired. |

I'm putting a Miculek on my 20" 3-gun build, and an Armalite "2 port recoil check" on the 16" upper I'm building for my brother. It's all about fast follow-up shots.

FH are more courteous to those to your sides, but if you don't shoot around others than get the brake.
If I had to shoot on a two way range, I'd want the brake. More rounds on target in less amount of time is better 99.9% of the time. I have the fsc556 and I love it. Has as much FH as a standard A2 as well, and significantly reduces muzzle climb. You get some nasty looks from people, but most of the time its their fault for setting up next to you, unless the range is full, which around me never happens. |

Both my ARs have brakes. My lightweight build has a FSC556, and my 3 gun rifle has a SJC Titan. Brakes are great for fast followup shots and for keeping movement to a minimum, allowing you to spot hits/misses at long range easily.

As for the noise, I've shot next to guys with brakes at classes. I've also shot next to guys running brakes on bolt guns at ranges. It's noticeably louder, but that's why I wear hearing protection. I'm not gonna fault a guy for putting something on his gun that benefits his shooting.

seems to work fine, but as has been said 5.56 doesn't have that much recoil. I guess I liked the look as much as anything. |

Quoted:

Thanks John My RRA rifle is pinned, so I cut it off using a dremel. The muzzle breaks are case hardened, so cut thru 80% of the way then use a cold chisel and snap the old one off. Support the barrel with a block as you strike it. Then I pin the FSC556 on. It took less than a hour to remove and another 30 minutes to reinstall with a pin. If your not sure of the job, seek out a gunsmith. I am so naturally I do my own work. See the pin....
