I have the Wilson and it works great, looks great. The finish matched my postban Bushmaster near perfect and it came with a letter stating it was batf approved. It does have the Wilson name neatly engraved on the bottom - if that bothers you. I have no experience with the others but I might try a Cavcomp or Gunsmoke because they are here on ar15.com and the price is a little better. From a few feet away it looks like an A2.

Personally, I hate it when my muzzle breaks.

The correct spelling of the word is "brake", not "break". In the words of Col. Jeff Cooper, "Sloppy language promotes sloppy thinking".

I have Gunsmoke's new short, 3 slot muzzle brake at the end of my barrel. I like the way it works, and Ed has 4 slot brakes if you want to go with the birdcage look. Works great at keeping the gun level when letting whole mags go fast, but like all brakes it will be louder.
Gunsmoke gets my vote |

I like the way they look but if the shooter next to you certainly doesn't like they way they SOUND.
Looks cool but come on, does an AR really need a muzzle brake? I think a flash suppressor would actually be more usefull, too bad I read they are illegal. |

Here is the one I'm interested in. Anyone have any experiance with these. To me, this looks about as close to an A2 flash hider as you can get. Wilson is 2nd on looks IMO.
[img]www.brownells.com/images/products/296201017.jpg[/img] MUZZLE BRAKES & COMPENSATORS FOR POST-BANS [b]EGW[/b] Looks nearly identical to the standard issue, A2 flash hider but helps control recoil and muzzle flip. Lets you keep the original, military appearance but enjoy less felt recoil and a faster follow-up shot. Solid area on bottom of comp eliminates dust signature for more comfortable prone shooting. Requires indexing, includes peel washer. SPECS: Steel, blue, matte finish. 13/4" (4.4cm) long, 3/4" (19mm) diameter, 1/2"-28 tpi. |

oops, I forgot one other question, I see wilson has an approval letter. Do any of the others have one ? Do they need one or is it buyer beware. sounds like a CYA issue

One thing to keep in mind is not only do most brakes augment blast and noise (if not to the shooter, certainly to those around him/her) but also serve to increase visible muzzle flash. IMHO, better a bare muzzle in an AR15-type rifle than any currently offered brake. Save your money, unless style points are more important to you than function.

Kurt put a Kurt's Kustom on my 20" Bushmaster. It looks GOOD and cuts down on muzzle rise. Muzzle noise does not appear to be much different(I havn't noticed either has anyone else in the area).
All in all, I would recommend Kurt's Kustom. I got my upper back from Kurt 3 weeks after I mailed it to him(from Oregon). Spambo |

Anyone have a factory installed Bushmaster brake? I'd be curious to know about its effect on accuracy. How long does Bushmaster take to turn this installation around?

I have Wilson and Cav Arms brakes. Both work very well for rapid fire muzzle stabilization even on light (M4) rifles. Having used or been around the Smith, JP, AK, Y-comp, etc I can tell you these two are much quieter. They seem to help considerably with muzzle flash problems associated with postban carbines. I know they aren't supposed to reduce flash but they do certainly redirect it and tame the BRILLIANT blinding white of a plain barrel carbine (and ones using most other brakes). The flash duration seems shorter also. I've tried them side by side with A2 FS equipped prebans and there's not that much difference! My preban (rifle) sports a Cav Comp!
