DPMS MK12 7.62 Muzzle Brake

[utnapishtim]

Hi all,

I picked up a DPMS MK12 barrel to replace the truck axle on my LR308. I'm looking for a muzzle brake, but I can't seem to find any information in the tpi, etc . . .

I was looking at this:

I'm not sure if it would fit . . .

Suggestions?

Yes, the JP will fit. 5/8-24 is standard thread for a 30 cal. barrel. DPMS makes a muzzle brake as well. I have one my rifle. It works and cost around $60.00 from Midway when they have them in stock.

I put the PWS on mine.

I have read other reviews on the PWS, but do you mind describing your findings? Reduced recoil? Increased noise around the shooter? Any input and opinions appreciated!

It replaced the stock birdcage on my 16" DPMS 308, and muzzle rise and recoil is a vast improvement over stock. I have not noticed much of a noise difference.

Is the PWS a better brake than the JP?

I have a friend working on recoil reducing technology and part of what I've worked with him on testing are both the PWS and JB. According to the accelerometer, the PWS reduces more actual recoil.

Noise levels will always increase when you redirect blast gasses back toward yourself. But it typically isn't enough to bother you.... well, assuming you are indeed wearing ear protection.

The people shooting beside you will love the JP tank brake.
