.308 flash suppressor length

[Kaylee]

With all these super-whiz-bang-neato muzzle brakes out on the market, I gotta wonder -- is there a short-ish (say 1.5") honest-to-goodness flash suppressor that will work on a .308 rifle?

Those long M14 supressors can change the handling more than you'd think, given their weight... I was wondering if they HAD to be that long to channel the muzzle blast right, or if someone had figured out a better mousetrap yet?

Flash supressor or muzzle break?

There's a difference. I'm not sure what you're asking.

Flash supressors reduce muzzle flash regards the shooter (impossible to the receiving end) while a muzzle break reduces felt recoil.

Jah, muzzle brake does not equal flash supressor, I know.

I've seen some short brakes for the M1A Scout.. I was curious if there were "shorty" flash suppressors as well.
