Carbine Muzzle Brake Suppressors
This suppressor has been a production item, with improvements,
since 1987. The device attaches directly to the .5"-28 TPI barrel
thread and protrudes past the end of the barrel 5 inches and goes
back over the barrel to a point in front of the bayonet lug. A
barrel fitting that attaches to the barrel near the front sight
assembly, this is used in conjunction with the threaded muzzle to
align and secure the device to the weapon. Once the barrel fitting
is installed, no tools are required to remove or install the MBS to
the weapon. The 24 oz weight of the device is offset by 2 oz
totaling a 22oz gain. The weight offset is due to the flash hider
being removed from the weapon.
