Yep! Not too bad for the price he had it... Guess everyone is going 13" with suppressors over in Free America...

Irrelevant to the NJSP. This has been discussed here multiple times. The methodology however may be helpful if you read how they did it though as that can set a standard that is objective and measurable.

"The X3 also mitigates some of the flash that is commonly associated with compensators" Doesn't "hide" flash though... PWS FSC says that, and so does the BattleComp series... at least they did until Vuurwapen called them out on it. BCM's was a good choice, but they flat out say "flash suppression"

http://2a-arms.com/collections/muzzle-devices/products/copy-of-t3-compensator Been bouncing around on these for sometime and finally think I may settle on this for my "shorty" SCAR 17 barrel (cutting my spare barrel with pinned/welded brake down to 16.1" OAL). I wanted a muzzle brake that: 1. Isn't super long lengthwise to maintain as long a barrel length as possible. This is advertised as 2.115" OAL, but realistically only adds ~1.4" to the barrel of the rifle. The other alternatives I looked at like the PWS FSC30 (which came with my barrel) and the GoGun Supercomp XL are considerable longer at 2.75" (2" OAL added) and 2.4" OAL with the Supercomp 2. From video reviews, it appears to function well as a comp, not mitigating recoil too much, but keeping muzzle movement fairly minimal. 3. It's not a "flash hider" and it appears the exit hole would satisfy the pinky hole rule. Any literature on it only says it mitigates flash compared to other comps/brakes, so that's a lot of grey area. 4. By all accounts, it's not really "blasty" like a full on muzzle brake. 5. Looks pretty fancy. 6. It also comes in Titanium and 5.56/223 versions! So what do ya'll think? Also, is 4140 steel any good? I have no idea what that all means...

I'd tell them to fuck off and never go back. What kind of brake are you getting? I always wanted to try my hand at designing a brake.

Who would walk the line?

Thing is: its not permanent. Just take it off. I mean, you can still mount a bayonet on a rifle without a lug on it in many cases... just duct tape it! Or use some wire. Either way, does doing so make your rifle an AWB violation? I don't think so.

Why would you get arrested? There is no law on the books for it. 1. It's not a flash hider 2. The muzzlebrake isn't threaded (it uses a lug locking system) 3. It's not a silencer I think it's good to go. Problem is, Surefire and Griffiin Armament have the only ones that might work.

In Surefire's case? Yes. Mainly because their SOCOM brakes don't have threading, but an attachment point for suppressors and the blast shield they sell.

My predicament is this: I snagged a spare scar 17 barrel for cheap and was gonna cut it down to 16" OAL with a brake on it for shits and giggles. So, I have the PWS that came with it I can use. Or I can sell it and try something newer.

In terms of three main factors: + Recoil Reduction + Side Blast + Flash Mitigation It seems the PWS balances them pretty well... it's still blasty, but not so much so. It reduces recoil, but isn't the best. It mitigates "fireball" a bit, but isn't a flash hider by any means. It seems the main competitors are: + Battlecomp (expensive) + Lantac Dragon (blasty) + DynaComp (blasty) I also looked at the GoGun Supercomp XL as well, and while it looks promising, it also is disconcerting given the lack of use and reviews. Everything online and Amazon is a regurgitation of the same comments and praises. The only third party test I saw was one of TTAG's shootouts. Maxim also said he used one before. Thoughts?

Except, the FBI screwed that up by allowing the San Bernardino city (owners of the phone) to attempt to reset the iCloud password.

I see... How's the side blast on them? Currently have a PWS FSC on one of my rifles.

Good to hear! Yeah, can't believe I haven't really heard of this brake too often.

I only sell guns that would not be difficult to re-acquire in the future, for example: + Glock 17, 19, 21, etc. + Modern revolvers + WASR-10, other AK Clones + AR-15s (though these have the WORST resale value) + Shotguns I'll be hard pressed to sell: + SCAR17 + FN FAL + M1 Garand + M1903 Springfields I'd say, go for it. Even if you take a hit, it's worth trading up if it means getting what you want. That's the hard part about guns is there aren't a lot of opportunities to try before you buy.

But I figured I'd run it by the resident peanut gallery for the G2G. Also, anyone run one of these at all?

Agreed. At A2 is probably the hardest to beat muzzle device on an AR-15/M-16 platform. In fact, Evolution Gun Works makes a good muzzle device based on it: http://www.egwguns.com/index.php?p=catalog&parent=211&pg=1 HOWEVER, my SCAR 17 came with a PWS brake on it. FNH could've shipped it with the standard 3-prong they use for their MIL contract, but they didn't.

Well if the Government made FFLs easier to get, then that would solve the issue, no?

No offense, the marketplace on this forum SUCKS. I'd rather we go back to the traditional "WTS, WTT, WTB" system on most forums and relegate the "feed" to official vendors. Plus the FB page just gets more eyeballs.

Need an old brake removed and a new one placed on... any recommendations?

Not a bug, but a feature. This is the forum post the YouTube user made: http://sigtalk.com/p250-p320-modular-pistols/43480-p320-trigger-behaving-differently-subcompact.html

P320: Doesn't handle the mud/grit too well.

Glock Torture test... seems to do quite well.

I may have to watch it again, but the first test simply got the gun wet. Then he did a test with dirt and mud. Both instances yielded failure. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
