    Combo Muzzel Brake/ Flash suppresor, M1A?

    Buddy switched out his factory brake on his SA M1A scout for a SA flash suppresor, was shocked when he felt the recoil difference. Do they make a "combo" brake/FS? Have seen references to a "M14E2 GI brake/FS" online, but cant find details. I appreciate any advice, TY

    Earned my Patch at Appleseed this Weekend

    Shot a 218 with a FTF on one of my sitting targets on my first timed AQT sat. By Sunday I had qualified consistently with my bolt .22, with a high of 239. I had to sacrifice a lot of accuracy to make the time cuts, but found a happy medium between shot placement and shot cadence. They offered a...

    Bought some garden tools yesterday, looked at receipt when I got home, only got charged 1 cent for a NIB Fiskars machete.

    Ive heard the pros and cons of these rounds, not looking to start that again. Anyone cycled a bunch of these things through a Glock 17 or 26? I put a 6 pack through each gun, no problems. I dont want to spend a ton of dough testing this myself for 200+rounds, hoping someone has a valid...

    Just picked up a SA M1A Loaded, and I would swear it kicks a lot harder than a SA Scout I had the pleasure to shoot a few weeks back. Is the scouts muzzle brake that good??? Or is this a perception thing on my end. Im not worried about hiding flash from my rifle, just looking for an accurate...
