LWRC - is it NJ legal muzzle brake?

[Romeo 11]

Well, according to LWRC website this device is muzzle brake and not flash hider. Right?

The only concern here is I found front view picture and it has small opening like most flash hiders. Correct me if I'm wrong but rule of thumb (or finger in this case) is that if pinky doesn't fit it's not muzzle brake but a flash hider. 

So is it NJ legal or not? Or even NJSP is not going to know for sure?

 

 

 

Thank you.

There is no such thing as the pinkey test. Its completely fake, its not like all pinkeys are the same size. 

I do think that break is NJ legal

That break is NJ legal - as it is a brake and not a flash hider.

You have it backwards - Brakes and comps generally have a closed front with a smaller aperture sized to fit the round exiting the muzzle. Hiders generally have big openings that let the gas and flash escape out the front - So the theory is - if the pinky fits, it is a hider and not a brake.

However, as Fishnut said, the “pinky test” is BS. What matters is how the device is marketed and sold.

Great, thanks a lot to everybody. I guess I need to find that "AR15 for Dummies" book and spend some time with it.
