| What's a good muzzle brake, that actually works not just for the look and where can I find them. Thanks. |

1st - Welcome to the boards. 2nd - Thank you for spelling "brake" correctly. 3rd - Pretty much all of them are effective and it's not like 5.56 has much recoil to begin with. Most effective is probably the brake from JP Arms. Other good options are the AK brake like Bushmaster sells, the Mini-Y comp from YHM and the brake from Smith Enterprises. KKF and EDW make effective brakes that are designed to look like an A2-style flash hider. |

I used a DNTC brake on a build I did for my wife. It's not very loud and give you straight back soft recoil with almost no muzzle rise. I got it from Rainier Arms Link Search for "DNTC" Cheers, RS |
| Years ago, I had a 16" Bushmaster with the AK-74 style brake and it worked great. Like shooting a .22 with zero barrel rise. The only problem was it eroded quickly and probably only lasted a few hundred rounds. I sold the gun after only a couple hundred rounds so I didn't find out for sure. |
| I was at the firing range one day and the guy next to me was shooting an AR-15 but the freaking thing was LOUD. I asked what caliber was he shooting and he said .223 rem. He said it was loud because it had a muzzle brake on it. Damn, it barked like a straight pipe Harley. |
I like to shoot this upper in full auto because it is easy to control. It's got a JP Enterprises Recoil Eliminator comp on it. Along with recoil, it is also good at eliminating guys shooting next to you. I've had guys comment on the noise but what do you expect, it's a shooting range. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Hell, I've shot next to a guy shooting a 300 Win Mag with a Boss comp on it. Now that's some noise.
