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

If you can't get one of Standard Parts gas cylinders, I can make the real ones work with a pin, gas hole, and side pin.

Ok. I think I'll be patient and wait for Standard Parts to get the part in stock again.

Update: nevermind, jbkf1003 saved the day

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 have not compared the two, I can tell you that the BM59 brake/flash suppressor that Standard parts sells, ( Tim installed that one on my rifle} does a great job of recoil reduction/stabilization, and flash suppression.

The BM59 "E" brake and the short StandardParts brake have the same porting/hole configuration. Only difference is the centerline spacing for the gas cylinder.

And flash suppression too ? Interesting. I did not expect that. Thanks.
And nice flag avatar too.

The BM59 / E brakes and the Smith Brake work about the same. I had a smith brake on my mini-g, I sold it and put a Bm59 brake on it, it was cheaper and I netted a few bucks.

I won't do business with Smith unless I absolutely have to. Where as Greg at Standard parts is always a pleasure to deal with.

I got 2 brakes, the alignment tool, and a thin blade front sight all delivered together within a week for only $5.99 shipping. Bitchin'

If using the standard parts bm59 builder lock, would it then be possible to use a Canadian or l1a1 flash hider on a build? My thought is a less expensive alternative to the 5" bm59 device, easier to find, and a fal bayonet could be used at a 1/3 of the price of a bm59 bayonet or interfering with the gas plug like an m5

My opinion.....just about anything is possible, or can be adapted, with use of a metal cutting lathe and milling machine, WITH a competent operator who is knowledgeable with the firearm you want worked on. If you don't own the machine tools then develop a relationship with your rifle builder and accept is opinion of what can, or can't be done.
