[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Muzzle thread protector instead of muzzle brake

Posted: 10/28/2012 6:37:05 AM EDT

Folks- had a number of folks recommend going with a muzzle thread protector instead of a muzzle brake (whether it be a FH or compensator) for AR15 (6.8SPC) that would be used for hunting but folks did not elaborate on the PRO/CON's of muzzle thread protector and just wanted to see if anyone had any info on the benefits of going with a thread protector.

Any and all comments would be appreciated.

A hunting rifle needs neither a FH or FS. Lot of precision builds do not have a FH or FS.

For a light recoiling caliber like 6.8 you don't need recoil compensation and you won't be at any more dis-advantage with your follow up shots than if you are using a bolt gun. The only reason you might want a flash hider is if you are planning on using the rifle for night time hog or varmint hunting. Then it is nice not have a ball of fire blinding you at each shot.

well I do plan on deer and hog hunting with it but have not gotten into night hunting with night vision just daylight hours, early morning/late evening.
