Go back 15-20 yrs all the accuracy that OPS/AE came known for was when using the brakes. I'd rather not have AE flash hider mounts, because I think they can only hurt the reputation of AE, so I rather not sell them. I do offer an aftermarket A1 flash hider mount, so when your groups open up you can blame the 3rd party product and not the AE piece. If people really want, I can ask Ron to make more flash hider mounts, but you are better off without them. |

I've only ever run them on shorties so I didn't notice a difference. |

View Quote Never shot them without the can. I definitely would not use the flash hider mount on a shorty. That's a lot of pressure on a blast baffle that is supposed to have a brake in front of it. The guys who run OPS cans on shorties with flash hiders turn that blast baffle from convex to concave. AE/OPS cans were meant to be used with the brake. |

Using a flash hider mount at 100yds you'll hit a tennis ball more often than you will hit a golf ball, where using the brake you should be hitting a golf ball every time. |

I love reading your input on this stuff since you've been in this game for so long. View Quote Back when XM193 was $1.50 a box, we were taking cases out every weekend and making all the different OPS cans glow. The only down side to shooting a brake on a real short 7-8" barrel is it WILL peel out the flanges on the brakes making it impossible to remove the can. A couple cans we cut apart here, and a few I sent back to Ron to rebuild. They never failed, but they were whooped. With at least an 11.5" barrel with a brake mounted can you will never have to worry about anything. |

I just never did another 10shot group with it before I swapped to the MK12 Mod 1..

IMI in the other hand did WONDERS right out the box.. |
