Break selection....

[Black Horse]

Apologies for bringing up what I'm sure is an old thread... I looked and couldn't find..

My FN SPR A1 in .308 is my favorite rifle. I want to put break on it to help with recoil. I know there are many to choose from and a lot of the cool kids choose surefire. I was wondering what other brands are out there that work great as alternate options. I have plans for suppressing the rifle down the line and I'd like the break to be able to support it.

Thanks.

It's brake but take a look at the brakes from Suppressed Armament Systems, Griffin Armament, Thunder Beast, and AAC all make brakes that can thread over a proprietary muzzle brake and have been used extensively in long range shooting applications. You could also get a brake like the Badger Ordnance FTE, BO Mini-FTE, or RAD Brake that thread on and clamp down onto the muzzle threads with a cross bolt. When you wanted to attached your suppressor all you would do is loosen the nut, screw off the brake, and the suppressor would then thread on directly.

There are some FTE and mini FTE on the FDE thread to give you an idea.

I have AAC and Surefire brakes that are also the mounts for cans. I love my AAC cans, but as a brake the Surefire mounts are better. The biggest difference is in controlling torque. This really comes into play when using a lighter rifle like an AR, especially offhand. The Surefire brake holds the muzzle just dead flat and double taps out to 100yds are a cinch. That's not a matter of cool kids vs uncool kids, it's just performance. On a large rifle off of a bipod there isn't any real torque effect to contend with, at least for me.
