Muzzle device (flash suppressor) options for Mini-G's

[timshufflin]

Has anybody done a comparison between the BM59E and the similar Smith Enterprise muzzle brake ? The price of the BM59E brake and the alignment gauge from Standard Parts is better then anything else I have seen yet.

I can tell no difference.

I came across this on another forum. Is this worth considering for a Mini-G?

Western Ordnance (Smith Enterprises) M 1 Garand Compensator.

New, never installed, with instruction sheet.

Very interesting piece. Collect it or use it.
Made by Smith Enterprises & marked "SE" back when they used the name "Western Ordnance".

It is no longer a catalog item. It looks the same as the current manufacture BUT... it doesn't have the holes in the sides so the blast is all directed down with no side-blast. (current ones run $130-$150 + shipping if bought from Smith Ent. or Brownells).

Shipped to you in the USA $96.00

I don't use SE every since they started suing some of their customer base.

Certainly sympathetic with your feelings. I have similar feelings with Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. It is rough out there... However, I would not be buying from Smith directly.

Function wise, what would be a better alternative considering price? Perhaps a better question, is this device really needed? I did not find the recoil abusive on either of my Mini-Gs. I do have an acute hearing issue that I am trying to mitigate.
