ASR muzzle brake on 22LR

[EchoDeltaSierra]

I’m piecing together my V-22 and have an extra 30 cal ARS muzzle brake sitting on the shelf. Does anyone know if this would adversely affect accuracy? If not, I’ll probably install it to look cool and match my centerfire.

I don't see why it would negatively effect the accuracy.

But, the only real way to know for sure is to test it both ways.

As long as the thread pattern matches try it out and see.

No adverse affects that I can think of. Of course with a 22 this will simply be aesthetics. I would be a bit surprised if your threads match up.

your .22 barrel is likely 1/2x28, that 30 cal brake is 5/8x24.

Now I have to decide how much “looking cool” is worth.

My experience has been that muzzle brakes usually improve accuracy, even on rifles that have very little recoil, such as 223 Rem. However, it will almost certainly change your POI when compared to shooting with no brake. Not a big deal, but you do have to be conscience of it if switching back and forth.

a direct thread .22 can would look way more operator AF.

Absolutely agree and already looking into Form 1 options.

You earned the combat infantry badge and you want to look cool with a braked .22? You're going to look stupid to 9 out of 10 unfortunate enough to have to be civil about it. Then there is the one person that is going to humiliate you in public.

The main consideration for an ARS break was to provide a platform for other devices I have. Also, I make a sport of humiliating myself in public.

About this much, follow your heart my friend

I decided to save the $75 on a brake and apply it to a Form 1 muzzle device.
