Universal threaded Muzzle Break

Xshot · Feb 29, 2016

I'm looking for a muzzle break for my build. It'll be pinned/welded on a 14.5 Rainier Arms Ultra Match barrel.
My concern is I won't be buying a suppressor until next year so I need to get the break now but it needs to fit whatever suppressor I end up going with. Are the breaks with the external threads universal to accept any suppressor, or do they only accept the same brand?

Example: a YHM break with a Silencerco suppressor

I know jack squat about muzzle breaks hence the stupid question.
Thanks!

No universal one that I know of.

Usually the mount goes hand in hand with the suppressor (ie: same manufacturer).

That's what I was afraid of. I can't finish the build until I get the muzzle break and welded on the barrel. But I can't get the muzzle break til I have a suppressor. But I can't get the suppressor until next year. Hence my predicament

The good thing is you won't have to break the muzzle. Instead you can brake it.

kind of a clip vs magazine thing to me but different.

Autocorrect.

Do you have any idea which suppressor you want? If you do, just buy the brake separately, then pin/weld it.

You really do need to decide now which manufacturer you want. Mounts are usually the same for each manufacturers lineup. Usually but not always.

Good luck

No idea. I was also worried if I bought the mount now and waited a year or so to buy the suppressor that it may not be available or discontinued where the company goes out of business or something weird like that

You could always get the muzzle device removed. https://www.adcofirearms.com/shopservices/shop_qnew.cfm?code=Remove Muzzle Device

I lean towards the YHM offerings, the 30 cal can fits on the 5.56 mount. And it's not too pricey.

Versatility and cost appeal to me.

I wouldn't be too worried about that. Reputable companies like Silencerco, AAC and YHM are here to stay.

I have a Silencerco 5.56 Specwar and it uses the same mount as the Omega I just bought.

Of course there are many chooces. If you only have one rifle the modular approach will not mean as much to you.

I like them to. I like they're QD mounts, nothing to break on/in the can itself.

I thought I saw somewhere on here that AAC was in trouble and wasn't looking like it would be around for much longer?
Regardless. You have a good point.

I actually made a post asking about several different suppressors and brakes that accept suppressors. Thunderbeast claims to have no change in POI with their suppressors. I threw the question on here and a few members stated that they have Thunderbeast brakes and suppressors and they have no change in POI. That's the route I'm gonna go. I'll be getting the .30cal suppressor so that I can also use it on my M1A.

FYI, they're email response is very quick and gave great guidance in case you want to reach out to them

+1 For the YHM :thumbsup:

I prefer Thunder Beast.

They also have a flash suppressor mount.

https://thunderbeastarms.com/products/cb-flash-hider

And .223 brake/flash suppressor will fit a .30 can.

Thunder Beast has the least POI shift of the cans out there.

And they have had this mounting system for at least one upgrade in their cans. And the previous mount lasted for several iterations. Also, they offer an adapter for the older cans to the newer mount (not the other way around). So lots of compatibility

I just went through the same thing on my last 2 builds. Ended up putting AAC devices on both my builds, looks like I know what can I will be purchasing.

Buying into a certain brand or type of mount is like buying a camera. You are really purchasing into a lens mounting system. So decide carefully. Mounts can get expensive. All of my centerfire cans are SiCo ASR mount so I can swap cans (caliber appropriate of course). You can get ASR mounts for most if not all QD SiCO cans that include the Specwars, Sakers, Omegas and Hybrid....
