JESS1344 508 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) GUYS, SOLAR TACTICAL IS BRINGING OUT THEIR F.A.S.T. BRAKE IN 24X1RH FOR BETTER RECOIL CONTROL THAN THE '74 TYPE BRAKE FOUND ON THE SGL's, ETC. I HAVE ONE OF THEIR ORIGINAL 14X1LH's ON A MILLED POLISH M1960 AND IT REDUCES THE RECOIL TO A BIT LESS THAN AN AR IMHO, AND SOMEWHAT LESS FLASH THAN THE '74 BRAKE ON MY SGL21-76. THIS IS USING BARNAUL AMMO. PROJECTED PRICE IS $64.95, NOT IN STOCK YET, AS THE MFG'R IS STILL MACHINING THE FIRST BATCH, WON'T BE LONG THOUGH. THEY ALSO MAKE A VERY SLICK MAGWELL FUNNEL, AS SEEN BELOW, THAT WILL CUT RELOAD TIME IN HALF EASILY. THESE FIT THE SGL TYPE RECEIVERS, AND TAKE ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO PUT ON.

mostholycerebus 415 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Whats the length and weight, and does it come in black? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devildogdakota 804 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 ( non vendor link removed, sorry gents... ) I bought the 24mm x 1 Manticore Nightshroud last year (I think they came out with them last year) for one of my x-39's. Very, very impressive. They tout it as one of the most effective flash hiders (last year) on the market. It's also an excellent brake as well. My muzzle barrel barely rises during rapid firing with it. It's really light, and shorter than most flash hiders and brakes. It also has multiple index pin notches at the rear, so no wobble. And of course, made in the USA! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 MOSTHOLY, MY 14X1LH IS 2 1/32" X 15/16", THE 24X1 LOOKS TO BE MAYBE, AT MOST, 1/4" LONGER, JUST EYEBALLING THE DIFFERENCE IN THE DISTANCE FROM THE BACKSIDE OF THE REAR PORT TO THE END, ON BOTH OF THEM. PLUS THE BACK END IS ENLARGED FOR THE 24X1 NO WAY TO REALLY WEIGH IT, DON'T THINK THE BATHROOM SCALES ARE SENSITIVE ENOUGH. I DONT THINK IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE THAN THE '74 TYPE, IT'S MORE SOLID THAN THE '74, BUT SHORTER, WHEREAS THE '74 IS LONGER, 3 1/4" X 1.0" AND MORE HOLLOW. THE COLOR ON MINE IS REALLY, REALLY DARK FDE; THE ONE PICTURED ABOVE IS SEVERAL SHADES LIGHTER. IN THE AD, IT STATES: "MADE FROM HEAT TREATED STEEL WITH MELONITE COATING / STAINLESS STEEL BLACK OXIDE COATED.", WHICH WOULD MAKE ONE THINK YOU COULD GET IT EITHER WAY, MELONITE OR BLACK, BUT THERE'S NOWHERE TO CLICK FOR AN OPTION, EXCEPT FOR THREAD SIZE. HAVE TO CALL 'EM FOR CLARITY, I RECKON: 925-447-4743. JESS1344 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing beats the bulgy 4-piece brake for flash control. On my 10.25" M92 it completely eliminated the fireball. All that's left is some sparks. It also helps with recoil, although not as much as a dedicated brake. At first I didn't care for the look of it but I've come to love it for it's excellent function.

devildogdakota 804 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 " Doh"! Got caught up in the moment and forgot about the non-vender thing! Apologies Indy. There was also another video I saw comparing a few different effective flash hiders while firing in pitch dark. The Manticore was definately much less noticable than the ones that were compared to it. I haven't fired mine at night yet. I want to see how much of a difference there will be between it, and the birdcage I have on my other 7.62. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm I do have the XP spring to handle it on my 16.2 inch Saiga 223. Where did you get yours? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
