AX 260 brake or no brake?

[idaho1]

I am about to "pull the trigger" on a new AX in 260. In-stock AX's have no break or threads at my vendor. I had thought that I wanted a brake..... experiences, comments would be helpful.
Thanks

I don't think a tactical rifle is complete without a threaded muzzle. A nice thread protector makes it 99.9% unnoticeable when you don't want a can or a brake on there, but gives you the flexibility of adding devices as desired.

When it doesn't hurt *anything* but creates more versalitilty and flexibility, it's a no-brainer.

I wouldn't. I shoot .308 without a brake. I couldn't see needing a brake on a .260, but to each his own.

have it threaded for a suppressor

A brake will help with reacquiring your target for a follow-up shot(if needed) by giving less muzzle jump. The side benefit to having it threaded is a can be readily installed later....It is not absolutley necessary but it is a "nicety"....

^this answer is the most correct a.260 with an appropriate hush tube installed has to be one of the most useful tools since man first cracked a nut between two rocks.

Have it threaded! Get a thread protector, and decide later. I have a brake on my 5.56, and can spot my own shots, helpfull when your by yourself. If you don't, and decide later, it will cost you a pile of cash to send it to someone and get it threaded. Best of luck, J
