Thinking of having a SCAR 17 barrel cut with a P&W muzzle device to get to 16+"
What muzzle device would you choose if you are not planning on a suppressor ?
FH or brake ?
I used the factory 3 prong on my P&W SCAR16 and am happy with it.
Interested in your thoughts

So if you really want to do it just to shorten it by 2 inches I'd go with a linear compensator, forget brakes or flash hiders. The linear will push the sound down downrange and get rid of the blast. You'll appreciate that.

If for combat/defense, I'd prioritize flash hiding over everything else. If just for shooting enjoyment, determine what you'd like most from a device, maybe what jaflowers recommended.

I just installed this a few weeks ago and like it so far. It's really light and brakes a bit and hides flash some too (supposedly, as I need to shoot it at night to verify) Titanium Muzzle Brake/Flash Hider

There was a post here a few months ago and I copied this for reference. I don't remember who wrote it.

Best All round Self Defense non-suppressor Muzzle Device for Scar 17?

Surefire Warcomp

NG2 Mzlmax

Precision Armament EFAB

VG6 Epsilon

Christensen Arms Titanium Slayer Muzzle Brake

Christensen Arms Titanium Regulator

SLR Synergy BCF Titanium

The 17 is pretty easy on felt recoil because of the heavy bolt carrier (which ironically also causes some weird recoil impulse that kills optics when it slams forward) so a full brake isn’t necessary. I have the warcomp and like it a lot. -Quote from ?

I used an Effin-A tunable muzzle comp on mine. Unfortunately they are no linger made.

if you're looking for accuracy, shooting from a bench, less recoil might help with spotting your shots.
lots of muzzle brake shootout reviews to look at.
if i planned to use it to repel home invasions, i would not want a muzzle brake.

I run a q cherry bomb on my 17. The muzsle device itself is nice, very well made, good flash hider. But, the real kicker is, q makes a blast mitigation device and a break that have the same threading as their cans, so if I want to I can easily switch between suppressor, break and linear comp

Take a look at this. Works great as a flash hider too. Linear Compensator 5/8" x 24 Gen. 2 - Hera Arms (hera-usa.com)

I run an Area 419 linear compensator on my 16, and a Hellfire 2P brake on my 17. I've standardized with Area 419 stuff because it works well and makes it easy to swap suppressor & parts between rifles since they all have the same mount.

SF WARCOMP!

I could not stand the factory muzzle brake on the SCAR17 and don't really care for muzzle brakes in general due to the concussion - I therefore decided to go with a simple flash hider.

I decided to mount an AAC 51T MITER flash hider because that system is designed to index off the muzzle rather than the narrow shoulder on the SCAR17 barrel. I also like the fact that the flash hider covers part of the barrel and makes the whole system look shorter (since the MITER was designed for a reflex suppressor design). Finally, the military Mk17 rifles were issued with an 18T MITER flash hider, so the commercial 51T unit matches the military rifle's look very closely.

Thank you for the input.
I have a NTO 17 barrel from a US parts rifle and am just mulling this over as a concept
Any more thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you

I used to hate the sound of the SF tines but now enjoy it for some odd reason. Furthermore I have SF RC2 suppressors for my SCARs so I’m pretty much dedicated to SF flash hiders (non Warcomp).

 

[tyty0996]

Pin and weld for great flash suppression imo would be the surefire 3 prong. Another option is couple years back I remember seeing people pin and weld the old BE Meyers 240 flash hiders. Don’t think they’re made anymore tho but could look around.
