I will second the smooth operation of the Larue system. There is absolute quiet when charging the system in regards to spring/buffer tube set up. I can't even find the desire to "upgrade" to an SCS in it. Actually, I don't believe it would be an honest upgrade.
As far as the brake, my experience is as LRRPF describes, little or no perceived recoil, and only the guys beside you will notice the blast. I was at a range with 20 feet between us, and they commented about how loud it was, and could feel the blast, but they were impressed rather than upset.
I had a SilencerCo ASR on my last Grendel, and I noticed way more blast at my shooting position, but that is the only other muzzle brake I have experience with. I will say I was pleasantly surprised when I first shot it, and am interested to see what my pistol build is like with the same brake in place this weekend. That build could indeed use an SCS, but It's purpose built to be thrash-able so it seems like an unnecessary step. Perhaps when I have my suppressor in hand and want to further fine tune the system, then I will consider it.
Let us know what you think when you get it all put together. Good quality always shines, even when it's dirty.
