Had one for my first AR. It was one of the RRA uppers with the fake pressed on flash hider. Sold it to a NY resident where it was still applicable.

I've been planning for years to have the Bushmaster AK brake removed, get it turned down from an HBAR to Govt profile and throw an A2 on it. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

But, I like the AK Brake. My one other posty was threaded, with a pinned on fake-brake. I cut it off. But I haven't re-used it yet. |

Hey thanks for the link to adco... thats awesome. If you put it back on the post ban reciever is that illegal? I thought there was some kind of deal with post and pre ban uppers and lowers? i know post bans have no bayo lug and no flash hider... Or at least thats how i take it.. Thanks again guys..

When the ban ended those rules no longer applied, at least here in FL. Do what you want with it as far as AWB restrictions go. |

I had two rifles. Both were threaded, with a muzzle brake peramenently attached - pin/weld. It wasn't too hard to use an angle grinder to remove the brakes (destroying them in the process) and putting on a crush washer and regular flash hider.
I'm not sure which poll choice to pick.

I threaded mine and later sold it. It was a HBAR and I no longer own HBAR barrels. The AK I owned with a permantly attached brake is also gone. Brakes suck and I'm so glad I don't have them on my guns anymore, except for a SLG 21 and its brake will be gone shortly.

I attached flash hiders on the hidden threads.
I added a folding stock to my WASR. I've put real tele-stocks on my carbines and picked up a Bushmaster ORC carbine in .308 with a lug, flash hider and tele-stock.

Get a new barrel how you like it and sell the existing barrel to someone still behind enemy lines. |

When the banned sunsetted, I did not own one.

I had a 16" that had a permanently attached faux hider, and a 20" that had a plain muzzle. I had ADCO cut the 16" to 11" for my SBR, and thread the 20".
They do great work, BTW. Very happy with the results. |

I returned four to pre-ban glory. One was a Colt AR and three were AK's. I left one Colt AR alone for conversational purpose and my Colt 9er carbine was made after the ban ended so it's GTG. It just seemed like the right thing to do.

If "pre-ban" means before the ban, doesn't "post-ban" mean after the ban?
Aren't you really talking about "during the ban" uppers? This shit confuses me. |

I just bought a post ban Bushmaster 14 1/2 with pinned Mini Y Comp in mint condition...for a whopping $250. Already had a Bushy lower waiting for an upper. Had to buy a Bolt carrier and bolt...found a new factory Colt for $150 here. $400 for a complete upper isnt too bad.
Will most likely have the min y comp removed and a phantom fh pinned on pretty happy with another AR in the safe now |
