MSTN. I don't think anybody else sells them.
And guess what...I think he only sells the collars with the barrels. |

Yep the only way you could have got one is paying the $700 bucks for the barrel/brake/collar combo from MSTN.

If there are any out there now, I suggest you get them, as no one can get them any more. There may be a new option soon though. AR15.Com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=187085&page=3 I'm amazed people paid $700 for a (retail)$300 barrel with a $180(retail) brake & collar set, with $25 worth of KG Coating. Supply and demand I guess. |

If you just want the looks, get them at ADCO. The ADCO brake's knurled nut is cosmetic and can't be unscrewed (the OPS brake has threads protected by the nut), and the inside isn't hollowed out like the OPS unit. Works well in taming the muzzle rise, I haven't shot it at night to see if it diminishes flash though.

MSTN will sell just then brake and collar without the barrel. Call him or send him an email. I think it's around 180 or 200.

YOU ARE INCORRECT.
WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH PHIL SEBERGER THAT WE WILL NOT SELL HIS MILITARY SINGLE CAVITY BRAKE AND BARREL COLLAR WITHOUT AN APPROPRIATELY CONTOURED BARREL SUITABLE FOR THE OPS-INC 12TH MODEL SOUND SUPPRESSOR. THIS IS TO ENSURE THAT, IN THE ADMITTEDLY UNLIKELY EVENT SOMEONE WERE TO INSTALL A 12TH MODEL SOUND SUPPRESSOR ON ONE OF HIS BRAKES, THE COMBINATION WOULD FUNCTION SAFELY. WE HAVE ONLY SOLD THE OPS-INC MILITARY BRAKES WITH: 1. RETROFIT ITEMS FOR OUR DOZEN CRANE CONTRACTOR-BUILT SPR UPPERS WE GOT BACK IN '02. THE BRAKES WERE NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THEY WERE BUILT. 2. OUR OWN SPR "CLONE" UPPERS. 3. OUR SPR CONTOUR BARRELS BY COMPASS LAKE. 4. SPR CONTOUR BARRELS BY GENE BARNETT. WES GRANT MSTN.BIZ |

Some of us would rather have the real deal than a knock-off muzzle device. Same reason I don't buy airsoft, it might look like the real deal, but in the end it's just a fake. Others just want 'the look'. Different strokes for different folks... No offense to the just for looks crowd. |

My bad, I purchased all the parts from MSTN, but separately...He already knew what barrel I had. Sorry

MY UNDERSTANDING IS BARNETT DID AND STILL DOES MAKE THE SPR BARRELS FOR CRANE.
I HAVE NEVER HAD TO HOLD A GUN TO MY CUSTOMERS' HEADS TO GET THEM TO BUY SPR UPPERS FROM ME. THE FEEDBACK ON THEM IS POSITIVE. DEMAND REMAINS STEADY. WES GRANT MSTN.BIZ |

ALTAMONT TACTICAL BOUGHT SEVERAL SPR-CLONE BARRELS WITH OPS INC BRAKES AND COLLARS FROM US A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. SOUNDS LIKE HE'S PARTING SOME PACKAGES OUT. TOO BAD.
WE DO NOT SELL THE OPS INC BRAKE AND COLLAR SEPARATELY, EVER, UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY GOT AN SPR-CLONE BARREL OR UPPER FROM US & WE KNOW YOU. WES |
