I understand that the Noveske 'Flaming Pig' Brake weighs about 8oz or so, any input on the Claymore?
-
Nowhere near that, I don't have an exact weight but I don't notice any difference over an A2 installed. If I had to guess I'd say about the same as a Phantom, no more than an ounce more than the Phantom.
-
Thanks bafsu, and at half the price I guess that's the way I'll go............MP
Calmore? - did I tupe thst?
-
If you really wanted a KX3 style there are other companies making near exact copies starting around $50 if you do a web search.
-
I'm all for that! - I'll check. Thanks MP
-
I was thinking it might be doublestar or somebody like that. It was definitely a company that makes a decent number of build parts that had it. I wish I would've bookmarked it when I saw it because it was sort of found on a backdoor type search for something else. I think I saw it when I was searching for flash hider options for my grendel.

maybe something like this one? :

That actually looks pretty cool but the one('s) I saw were basically exact copies in appearance to the KX3 without the Noveske name or pig on it. I'll try to see if I can find it again. There were more than one company making it but I recalled one being a brand I've used in the past like Doublestar.
-
You were pretty close, it's the Doublestar Hawg: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=816788 (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=816788) The other one I was thinking about was the Carlson Tac-Comp: http://www.carlsoncompsinc.com/Tac_Comp.htm (http://www.carlsoncompsinc.com/Tac_Comp.htm)
Both look like they'll do about the same job as the Noveske. I unfortunately feel like I need the real flaming pig for my next build since it's a Noveske Diplomat build but I plan to try out both of these in the future.
-
Cool, thanks bafsu !
That 'HAWG' looks like it will work and it's about $30 cheaper than the Claymore, I have a pending order due from Midway anyway so I guess I'll add that. Happy Easter!

Here's where I am right now, before the new brake and still saving for a fancy 'tactical target' stock.

Totally a thing of beauty Bic. Congratulations. The absolute expansive options available to an AR platform, are what makes building one a great personalized asset. "There are many like it, but this one is mine", comes to mind.
Magpul, VLTOR, have inexpensive stocks, but the big thing is, the muzzle brake. As you, and bafsu posted, there are options, I put a Miculek Comp. from Cheaper than dirt . com on for $30. and an Enidine Hydraulic buffer for $90.
I now have an AR that shoots like a Ruger 10/22...... Really no B.S..... There is no muzzle rise, no "flip" and rapid fire, is as flat as a pancake.
That's a heck of an optic, check the offset rails from bravocompanyusa.com, as a possible back up for fiber, or truglo style BUIS.
great option, if the optics get knocked out of zero...
All the best.

Many thanks tw, there sits in the SAW grip a suitably registered rear BUIS along with back-up 'scope batteries in case of emergency, but your advice is well taken,

I've run the Levang before, it does ok regarding recoil but noise and flash are pretty high. I was shooting at an indoor range one day with one on a 12.5" barrel and the poor old guy in the lane next to me nearly soiled his undies when I let loose with it. There was actually a target hanging 2 lanes over at the 10ft stripe that caught on fire from the muzzle blast. That was the last time I shot that particular setup inside.
