Jeez, in Illinois, 'ell might freeze over before you're allowed to own a suppressor.... Seriously, Thunder Beast suppressors have a well-deserved reputation for accuracy, and their compact brake/mounts (CB for short) are fairly effective brakes. I put a CB mount on the 6RAT bbl I did for the first Mini that I re-barreled, but replaced it with a flash suppressor/mount after giving it a bit of thought. Brakes are loud, and I knew there was a good chance I wouldn't always have the TBAC Ultra 7 I use on my smaller caliber rifles along. Rather than further trash what hearing I have left, I'll put up with the minor recoil of the 6RAT. However, when I did a 20 Tactical bbl for the 2nd Mini re-barrel job, the blank was a bit slimmer than the blank I'd used on the RAT, and since I had a TBAC CB mount with 1/2-28 threads, it went on that bbl.
