What muzzle device should i use to on a 7.5 inch for overall help ( in flash, sound, cycling, recoil)?
NOVESKE KX3 SPIKE S.T.A.B. TROY Claymore Battlecomp H.E.R.A arm PWS CQB Other -forgot to add Smith Vortex, so put OTHER AS SMITH VORTEX Which and why? |
| I'm not sure if Spikes is still available but I have one and I like it. It is adjustable so if your running different ammo and the gun doesn't seem to be running right you can tweek it pretty easy. It directs the sound and flash forward. I really like it. It is however, fairly heavy and pretty long. |

I put an A2 on mine to downgrade the fireball coming out the front end of mine from 'grenade' to M80. But am still undecided about what is actually going to end up on there. I have adjustable gas so I don't need a pig or other baffled type to trap gas and cycle. I have that all dialed and the thing is 100%. I also don't want another 3" and 10oz out in front of the guns balance point.
I was looking at the linear comp's to keep blast down. I have two PWS brakes and they work GREAT - but will take your breath away if you are 90* from the muzzle and within 10ft. On a 7.5" barrel I want no parts of that. I looked at the Levang, but gravitated to the KIES, or Troy Claymore due to the actual flats to turn it. With the muzzle still occluded by the rail... it's already hard enough to get that sorted out. What I'd like to know since I've seen a few of you suggest them instead. Is do they increase rearward recoil? I am not shooting 5.56. I am shooting 7.62x39 and it does not fuck around in a 5# AR pistol without a stock. It's not unbearable, but if it was going to get worse, that might make me consider looking into something else. Does anyone have any thoughts about adding a port or two to the levang/kies/claymore in the vertical axis to change the dynamics of the brake? I'd really like to get a caliber /thread matched "brake" blank and make my own. But have been unsuccessful in finding a suitable inexpensive muzzle device to serve as a host for such DIY work. Basically a 1.5" blast chamber with the front closed off and a caliber specific hole in the front and let me drill and cut what I want it to do. Info on real world use of the levang / kies in heavier calibers would be extremely welcome. Sorry for the derail. |

the Kies looks similar to the Claymore except without the pointy end.
just got my pistol setup ready this week. will make sure to get some video at the range with the claymore. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/nolexforever/IMG_0026.jpg |
