Nick White 5 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I've decided I want to but on a muzzle brake, but I Haven't found on in my price range. At the most I want to spend $100. Does anyone have any suggestions? It will be threaded not bolt on please. Thank you, -Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dudethebagman 222 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Do you want a brake or a flash hider? As far as I know, the phantom is a flash hider. Edited April 20, 2011 by Dudethebagman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick White 5 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Mostly a brake, but a flash hider is fine too. There website says it's a brake and a hider. I didn't even know that was possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dudethebagman 222 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 It's a compromise. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I had an FSC 47 on my x39 before I went for a regular old A2 flash hider. Both of them are compromises. The FSC 47 probably provided more compensation, but the A2 is nowhere near as loud.

jacksmad1 2 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I just put a YHM Phantom 5C2 on my 16" 308. I bought the 5/8 x 24 and re-threaded it to 17x1. As soon as the weather and time permits I plan on doing a night shoot video with and without it to show the difference. I know it is working to some extent because now I am unable to see the fireball in full daylight like I could before....but only a night shoot will really show how much it works. The 5C2 is a flash hider/compensator. The way it accomplishes the "brake" action is by redirecting the gasses upward to reduce muzzle climb. It is indexed and it does not have slots on the bottom to prevent kicking up dust or dirt when firing from a prone position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snakum 1 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I'm digging the PWS FSC30 on mine. Made a tremendous difference in recoil and muzzle rise, and shooting in the early evening the amount of flash suppression is noticeable, too. I good compromise if you're leaning more towards the brake. $94 plus installation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
