I had Ned at Michiguns install his brand of brake onto my 16" M4 profile barrel.
www.m-guns.com/projects.html It looks like this:  1. Performance - Works great!!! 2. Price - $80, you can go get a different brake for less 3. Noise Level Annoyance - Better wear ear protection! A brake that is doing it's job WILL enhance noise. 4. Night Shooting Benefits? - I'll let you know when I get back from Blackwater, I get this feeling it may just be a flash-enhancer |

Definitely one of the coolest comps I've seen Waverunner! Tell us how it shoots when you get back!

I think muzzlebreaks are overrated...
unless you're going to be going crazy on the semi-auto and emptying mags like they were going out of style, you don't need a muzzlebreak. It'll just hurt your ears and annoy everyone else on the range. And it will definately not 'reduce' the flash. For accurate and conservative blasting with a semi, you should be fine without a break. If I were to buy a muzzlebreak, I'd probably go with an AK-style break. I think they'd only really make a difference on a shorty. IE a heavy match barrel with a bipod would make a break completely unnecessary. Whatever your choice, I'm sure you'll have fun with it. |

The Cav, Wilson Combat, and KKF (All A2 styled brakes) work very well. Looks good too.

Got the Bushy M4 clone with that crazy Mini-Y... holy S#*t...better put plugs and ears on B4 you shoot it! Got a great unsuspecting sight picture, and squeezed...BLAM... I think they could hear, feel and see the concussion in Tenn. from Jersey! People on the line looking like I set off a flashbang!
Still, as sick as I am, I continue to squeeze the trigger,evermore!....hacko.gif |

Hey mk1iii, what kind of muzzle brake is on the M4 in the lower picture? That looks sweet! Is it permanently attached? Thanks...

That's the A3 extended brake from Kurt's Kustom Firearms. Looks just like an A2 birdcage and isn't too loud either. Yes it's a perm install because it's a post ban and it also brings the 14.5" barrel to legal 16" length. Somwhere around a $100 for the brake and the labor and he has a section here on AR15.com farther down the topic list.

Can the A2 and A3 from KKF be shot without hearing protection and not be painful?
I have a Mini Y on my M4 and it's painful to shoot without any ear protection. I am thinking about having the KKF A2 or A3 installed. But i dont want to waste the money on them if they are as noisy as the mini-y comp. any advice is appreciated mike |

I have a KKF A2 and it is great. Yes, it is loud. However, any brake makes the rifle louder. Especially to those on either side of you. You shouldn't be firing a rifle without hearing protection anyway. Even one without a brake.

I am going to against the grain around here but I love my AK style brake. I got to try my upper on a couple of M16's a few weeks ago and it worked great.

Anyone have any experience with the "REMVAMS" brake ??
A guy I know and trust(Class III, Class II) says this brake works very well on his AR-18 machine gun. So if it does work well on a machine gun should work well on a semi. |

I use a Smith Enterprise compensator.
1. It is much better than a plain barrel, but I haven't compared it to very many other brakes. 2. ~$55 installed (set screw version) 3. The noise level isn't too bad. 4. It is much better than a plain muzzle in regards to muzzle flash. |

I have both the KKF A2 & A3 on M4gerys. They are louder than an AR without a brake but not painfully loud. Kurt did a great job on both of my guns and I would highly recommend him.

I like the Wilson, Cav and Gunsmoke four slot.
