works great

easy add on, it felt like it took almost all of the recoil out of my AR, it made it very quiet as well, it seemed like it turned my 5.56 into a .22, if your thinking about buying one just do it you wont regret it

Great product

I had an A2 bird cage on my 7 1/2" AR pistol, which was loud and disrupted the airspace in the shooting stall at my favorite range. I installed a Claymore brake and the noise and blast are no long in my stall, making my pistol behave like my 16" carbine. There is a little more climb over the A2, but the reduction in sound, and focusing of the blast, more than makes up for it.

Excellent CQB muzzle brake

This brake is excellent all the noise and blast go straight foward not at the people next to you, and it's much much lighter than the Noveske flaming pig. I'm not sure about the flash suppression capabilities I haven't tested it yet but it is a brake not a flash suppressor. The only down side I can see is cleaning all the little holes in front.
