300 blk muzzle brake

[imyomama]

ok, so i'm looking to put a muzzle brake on my 16" ar carbine in 300 blk.

here are the things i'm looking for:

1. light weight
2. non crush washer / index ( I plan on taking it on and off ...)
3. relatively cheap.. don't want to spend $200 like some out there...
4. low flash ( i might use my NV on this setup)
5. low recoil for follow up shots ... (mainly hog hunting at night..... )

I'm looking for suggestions!

I have not quite decided if this one will shoot subs or supers mostly... thinking subs at the moment!

thanks!

I would recommend looking into aresarmor.com the effin-a-compensator because it is controlled by set screws and totally customizable to your liking and relatively cheap $100. I have seen it online and its amazing reduces a lot of muzzle jump.

Generally speaking, a muzzle brake will have to be indexed so that gas is directed upwards.

The cheapest I could find was the Troy Claymore while doing my build. It cost 60 at my local shop. I would say it is set more like muzzle brake than flasher hider. It might be little heavy.I would say that my gun has little to no recoil.

if it needs indexing , i'll have to get the brake turned to index without a washer .. it needs to be able to be taken on and off on regular basis !

I did look at the troy claymore ... just not sure how well it works on 300 blk !

The AAC 51t FH works well and you could sell it easy if you want to go another way later on.Doesn't need washers or spacers.16 inch 300 BLK really doesn't need a MB.

I was struggling with the same issue for my 16 inch BLK out that I built for hunting. I decided a thread protector is all that I need. No extra weight or length and only about $11. Never noticed the FH missing from my bolt action hunting rifles.

Now, it the deer or hogs ever start to return fire, I may reconsider!

I saw a recommendation for this piece, I got it in the mail last week, but have not had a chance to try the 300 Blackout at the range yet.

If you are looking for a flash hider/compensator that is relatively cheap and works great, take a look into the Primary Weapons Systems FSC30. I assume this product works great, because I own the smaller variation FCS556, and it is worth the $100. Since it is a compensator, it HAS to be indexed, but instead of using crush washers, it comes with shims. I use the FCS556 on a weapon that I often deploy a suppressor, so I keep it hand tight. When I take it off, I just keep the shims in a bag along with the compensator.

There is a video floating around on the internet that I watch, where very detailed comparisons were done between flash hiders, compensators, and combinations (like this). Out of the 20 or more products, this was in the top 3 as a flash hider and top 3 as a compensator....nice to get that all in 1 package.

The only reason why I didn't buy one for my 300BLK is because my rifle setup produces very little recoil. Plus, I'm waiting and praying for Silencerco to come out with a can for the 7.62, where I can use their Trifecta mount w/ their suppressor.
