No thanks. 1985 sounds about right. I think I got mine somewhere around '87-'91. I put it on my other rifle and bought a fake suppressor. http://www.mfiap.com/smallarms/silencer.shtml I wish I had pics but my camera broke.

FedEx delivered the new Muzzle Brake and I got her on and it sure looks purdy, can't wait to get to the range.  I went yesterday to try without the brake so I have a recent comparison, and I just felt like going.
Question, I installed with the crush washer as directed and it is on snug/tight.  The side vents look right but there are vents on the end which are pointing down, I thought they would be going up, any thoughts or feedback?
Not that I would have used them, but there were no directions.

I've never seen a comp with the holes facing down. Maybe it needs another half turn. I always use peel washers so I don't know if you can turn it that far with a crush washer.

Here's a related question. I'm ok with recoil with the standard muzzel break. But is there anything legal, not a suppresor, that will lessen noise or make it more difficult to pinpoint from say a couple of hundred yards? I'm not trying to be all ninja here, just lessening racket on the range and maybe a tactical use, but if that comes into play ATF is the least of my worries.

Taking the comp/muzzle brake off will likey cut down on the noise but not a lot. Some are loud off to the side.

Vents down didn't seem right to me either.  I could not turn it any more much less give it half a turn.  What I found works was leaving the old crush washer on with the new one. It now has the vents up and fits snug/tight like it seems it should.  The crush washers do not give one bit what-so-ever, but the specs call for using one so it must be right, just not sure why I need two to make it fit right.  Makes the barrel look an 1/8" longer completely changing the appearance of the rifle ;-)

I like brakes and flash hiders to have a jam nut, so you can orient them to your taste. Vent oriented downward can make for a crappy outing if shooting prone, especially in loose soil, not to mention gives your location away.

Went to the range and it works as advertised, recoil cut by more than half!  The downside is that in an indoor range with partitions on either side, it feels like you are getting hit with an air cannon every time you fire.  Kinda' cool actually, but may go back to the factory original unless practicing rapid fire.  And oh yeah, it is a bit louder which is also very cool. 
Bottom line, I would recommend getting one to cut down on recoil and increase the number of shots you can get on target inrapid succession.  I would be careful shooting in an open area near other shooters, as was mentioned, you don't want to be too close to someone else shooting with one.

In my quest to add as much on to my AR-15 as possible,I decided to add a Muzzle Brake to my Bushmaster .223 to increase the number of shots I can rattle off in X seconds.  And oh yeah, it does look kinda' cool.  Anyone have experience with these and can provide some tips as to what to expect?  Am I going to feel like it is a completely different rifle or is it just going to perform slightly better and just look different in the process?
And Michael, I am seriously working on a way to hang a coffee maker off the rail using the Keurig coffee technology using barrel heat for the H2O with a cup holder also hanging off the rail with the 12 other gizmos on there, you know, just in case....
