Would this be legal in New Jersey Surefire say it Act as flash hider/compensator 
|

I was of the understanding that whether it was a flash hider or brake/compansator was dependent on the exit hole. If it was wide open, it would be considered a flash hider (not legal). If the exit hole was only slightly larger than the projectile (in other words a closed end), then it was a brake/compensator and would be legal providing it was permanently installed (pinned and welded or silver-soldered).

Short answer....If a muzzle device suppresses the flash, it is a flash hider. This may or may not pertain anymore. |
I wonder how the ATF decision on teh fsc 556 jives with this line from your link:

Recently someone asked about the Miculek brake, I have one so I said: "+1 works great +1 loud as hell(aren't they all?) +1 on being required to be welded/pinned on in NY Being poor enough to only own one AR sucks, because at the NYS Rifle Championship at Square Deal Practical Shooters(every spring) my Miculek works great, but at an 8+hour MDTS carbine class I need advil before, during, and after the 700ish rounds. And in modified prone(gun sideways and muzzle 5 inches off the deck) my scope and I match the foilage. So ask yourself friend, what are you going to do the most. Maybe 2 uppers so I can have it both ways." When the second upper comes into my life, which will be my go to and class gun, I want to put one of these on: http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/productdetail.aspx?p=24833 I have watched this Noveske in use and was amazed at the recoil reduction, since it has no ports. The reduction and how the description states you and anyone close by won't be eating muzzle blast( and the dirt that goes with it), sold me. EDIT: The write up says flash suppresser, but with no slots, ports, etc. I don't think anyone would know what the hell it is. |
It does not matter whether you think is it a break or not, its classified by the BATFE as a flash supressor |
So what is a muzzle device with round holes? As Zerothomas said, it's all about what the BATFE thinks it is. Your best bet is the fsc556, the BATFE has deemed it a MB. |
i like troy's medieval muzzle brake... Troy Industries Accessories |
