Frank I. Posted June 13, 2024 Report Share Posted June 13, 2024 I have one of these "Coast Guard" muzzle brakes, but it sure doesn't make my M14 this controllable on full-auto. Anyone have a similar experience with these brakes. They are made by Smith Enterprises. Most other videos only show the brake on semi-auto M14-M1As.

Practice makes perfect and remember FA is best with the GI Bipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt Chopper Posted November 4, 2024 Report Share Posted November 4, 2024 My M14 takes off like a race horse on full auto. Hard to believe a muzzle brake would reduce the muzzle climb that much. https://www.smithenterprise.com/product/pn-2001-good-iron-m14-us-coast-guard-navy-muzzle-brake/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekraps Posted November 6, 2024 Report Share Posted November 6, 2024 It really should be shot off the bi-pod. I suppose that's why the BAR has a slow auto mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
