UltiMAK picked up an AMD65 this weekend, and I took it out for it's fire testing. As I pointed out in another thread, it wasn't perfect. Lyle worked on it this week and has a mount on it. This weekend I hope to slap on an aimpoint and go test it.

I just wanted to point out, the muzzle break is REALLY FREAKING LOUD. I took one shot with muffs, stopped and put in some plugs under the muffs. Here it is (click for a larger image):


Oh yeah, they picked up a Jokin AMD65 clone, too. I'd put up pictures but it's a shameful example of metalworking, and metal non-working. Ugh.

They are pretty damn loud..

I normally shoot with just ear plugs in but after about 40 rounds it was killing my ears and had to put the muffs on.

How loud can it be? I shoot 14.5s all day without trouble. Even indoors. Course I wear plugs.

That brake is really loud. Did I mention that already? Holy crap.

It would be nicer if it were a flash suppressor and not a muzzle brake.

UltiMAK may SBR it shortly, so it won't be a problem.

If it gets SBRed will the original brake not be used? I am waiting on the paperwork for a couple of SBR AMD65's and plan on building them just the way they came (semi only of course). I already know that they are loud with the factory style brake but that just seems to be part of thier uber-evil personality.

Loud is half the fun of an AMD. You should all come to my range and shoot my Ultralite .50 with the 18.5" barrel.........now that's a good time!

Heh, I dunno man. I'm a wimp - I'm looking for a .311 suppressor for my chinkomak.
