Hello THR!
I have a muzzle break on my AR 15. I built the lower (DPMS Parts on a S&W receiver) but bought the upper (DPMS). At the time I thought that flash hiders were a CA "no-no" so instead of a regular barrel I had a muzzle break installed on my 16 inch 5.56 upper. Initially I thought why not?
Then I fired it.
That sucker is LOUD. My buddy standing next to me flinched quite a bit and could feel the brim of his hat flapping "in the breeze" as that wave of concussion washed over him.
Now I really want something that reduces that blast. Or at least directs it forward instead of all around. I feel bad for folks next to me on the range and I warn them before I start shooting. I found a DPMS muzzle break claiming just that and was wondering if anyone had any experience with these or other products like it. I don't have any special feelings towards DPMS but they offer products that I can afford. I wouldn't say i am an AR15 nut but I enjoy shooting them and mine hasn't given me a single problem these 1000+ rounds.
Thanks for reading and for any help I can get!
