I'm in the process of building a New York legal retro carbine for my Wife's birthday. A clone of the Colt 651. I'm looking for a muzzle brake that would not look too out of place. I looked at the EGW but had some issues with two of those in the past.

45 Bravo used to make a faux 3 prong, but he's out of pocket at the moment. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance.

I've been looking for a retro 3 prong style muzzle brake for awhile now, but have not really had any luck yet..

here's a few pics of what I want to find...maybe if there's enough interest we can get someone to build 'em

That one is interesting. The one 45Bravo had was just closed off on the sides. I can get a photo of it later tonight.

I'm assuming the one on the right, is what you're talking about

think the one on the right is for people in places like n.j. that they can weld to the barrel and have the look of a fh without going to jail, dam i am glad i moved away from there

Yes that's it. I know it's not a brake per say, but keeps the look.

I had given some thought to one of the 45B's fake 3 prongs, but figured if I have to have something on the end of the barrel I may as well have something that actually does....something

and I also like the fact that at certain angles the slots let some light through so it doesn't look so fake

I would prefer something that works also, but it at this point I just need something to cover the threads. You know, for the children.

I'd love to get in on something like this. I've been lookin for an a1 muzzle brake for awhile but can only find the a2 one by egw. I'd also love an xm177 muzzle brake.

I'd love to know this also.. I'm sick of seeing that stupid A2 brake on my carbine, I wish I could get an xm177 style brake for it, whether its functional or not.

The only thing is about an xm177 brake is I wonder if it might be considered a suppressor.
