9/16-24 muzzle brake - DaChank - 06-16-2020

Anyone have recommendations on a 9/16-24 muzzle brake? Was looking at a vg6 but it’s not offered in that thread.

Alexander arms sells them. I have a used millennium compensator somewhere. If i can find it i would sell it for half what Alexander arms sells them for. But i might not find it. Let me know if you want me to look.

Forget the name of the company but there is a thread adapter that you can buy that will allow you to use any 308 brake on the AA 9/16x24 thread pattern.

I really like the WCI compensator on mine, but it's about 4" long - if that matters to you.

I have 2 with, Stoner and Alexander, and 2 without. Really can't tell a difference between them while shooting. The threaded barrels look better with a brake on them, I guess.

I guess AA doesn’t sell them anymore as it’s not listed on their website. The thread adapter is a good option I might look into that but I’m thinking about getting the Area 419 hellfire as it wouldn’t be that much more

Damn really? I have a 20inch barrel and while recoil is pretty minimal I was hoping it would help a little bit during some long range shooting.

I have one of the thread adapters. Never been used.

If you will use it it's yours. 9/16-24 to 5/8-24 matte black

I bought the Vitor last month from them but now out of stock. AA seems to have them

I really appreciate the offer that’s completely awesome of you. But after some research I actually think I’m just going to go with the hellfire system.

No worries

I just bought one of these because I just bought a Magnetospeed and felt that my WCI brake would be blasting the crap outta the chrono.

I'll let you guys know how it performs. After browsing this thread, I might buy a converter and then get a .30cal SI Jcomp (which I've had great results with in 5.56).

Anyone have experience using a .30 cal comp with the Grendel?

Huh, I hadn't heard of the Hellfire (by Area419) and looked it up.

Don't forget this warning!

NOTE: The use of Lemishine (or any citric-acid cleaner) or CLR to clean your brake will likely discolor the black nitride, and will void the lifetime warranty of your product. Don’t do this. Seriously. It’ll turn pink and you’ll feel like an idiot.

Don't mean to hijack the thread. JDub let me know how that brake works, because I was thinking of getting one too.

I've read various tests of using a 30 cal brake on a 6.5 and it appears that you would lose only 5% efficiency.

I just installed it a few days ago. The max length muzzle device the Magnetospeed maker recommends is 2.7" (the 4" WCI was actually hitting the chrony bayo). This chinese-made "Tacbro" is 2.75" so wish me luck.

I'm no so concerned with inefficient braking as opposed to POI shift...fingers crossed.
