1:  What is the purpose of a brake that makes a gun louder than a stock one?





2:  Isn't shouldering that brace a legal issue?

I run a PWS on one of my select fire M4s, there is a noticeable difference in the ability to keep it on target with the break vs standard flash hider (in full auto).
Semi auto, probably not so much.

And yeah, it's a no go shouldering those arm braces, more so if you're dumb enough to put it on a YouTube video.

Because I don't think the ATF cares about loud brakes and I don't own a sig brace but I had a hunch about the new laws and wanted to ask.  That cool?

I've come to the conclusion that the Sig brace thing is like 922r.. lots of sound and fury from gun people who like to jawjack, while joe sixpack doesn't know any better, does whatever he wants, and nobody gives a shit.

I put one of those ALG brakes on an 8.5" upper just to make it obnoxiously loud.

I like your style.

I have a Rainer mini comp on my 11.5" pistol for the same reason.

1. My suppressor mounts to it.
2.  That's what the SBR stamp is for.

My two questions:

1. Who is your daddy?
2. What does he do?

A muzzle brake and a suppressor are two very different things.  Most brakes will make it louder for the shooter.

This is why I'm building a 12.5" upper for my AR-10 when the funds are available.
