I have 2 uppers with muzzle breaks perm. attached. The report from the barrels is incredibly loud. The first time i fired them i didn't have ear plugs in(big mistake). My ears rang for at least 2 days afterwards. My Winchester 30-30 is nowhere near this loud. Would it be worth it to swap out the barrels for post-ban(no muzzle device) or bull barrels? I guess i should ask, is there a significant difference in the level of noise between barrels with muzzle breaks and those without? Edit: I live in NY so flash hiders are out of the questionhinking.gif |

A muzzle break will be louder as it directs the sound to the side. A barrel without any type of break, flash suppressor, etc will be loud...but not as loud as one with with a break. I see that the DPMS Pardus uses a Integrated compensator, but I have not heard one fire so I can not comment on how loud it is..but from the way it looks it has to be quieter than a break and maybe quieter than a barrel with nothing at all. Might ask around for those who own one and see what they have to say. I have seen other manufacures that make Integrated compensator barrels for AR-15 but I can't seem to find any links at the moment. Seem to remember they were precision barrels. |
| Thanks for the responses and info. I've decided to go the route of swapping out the barrels altogether as removing a perm. attached muzzle device would be kinda risky regarding damaging the threads and the barrel itself. I'm no gunsmith so this seems to be my best bet. |
