SBR w/ Troy Brake

Trying to decide whether I want the Troy brake or the Noveske Flash Suppressor.

ETA: for folks that think that I'm -still- trying to decide, I've made my decision and have kept it since this video in this configuration.

Rifle ended up with this brake and the Pig is put away in storage.

if its a 10.5 or smaller you need to go with a noveske pig because the shorties dont have enough back pressure but if its longer than 10.5 than you can go with the troy

@MrAsiansk8er Ummm. No. Note the date on the video, watch ALL of the videos. There's PLENTY of backpressure in the 10.5's, and I suspect even on the 7.5's. If you do the buffer and gas system right, backpressure isn't an issue. The idea of there not being enough backpressure in a shorty is a fallacy.

@sidhepro Trust me, this is my patrol and competition rifle, & that Noveske Pig is sitting lonely in the gun safe. It's really not about backpressure, it's about dwell time, and trust me, there's plenty. In all actuality, it WILL shoot with NOTHING on the front . 'Run like a raped ape' comes to mind...

Bayonets take better samples ;)

[sidhepro]

Heh.

The main thing we noticed between this and the pig was that there was less rise on the Troy.

Have you thought about promoting your gear on ARFcom?

[kingjoey1974]

The Troy works good, we just were just surprised at how LOUD they were. We're probably going to add an 7.5" or 11.5" SBR'ed AR to our demo gun lineup in '09, they're a hoot to shoot

[sidhepro]

Hell yeah they're loud.

Considering it's a duty weapon, I'm not overly concerned about the volume. That and I rather like my DNA-sampler on the muzzle. *grins*

[phishintube]

nice vid and badass gun. how is the brake aligned? i got one on a plr16 and it seems to have more muzzle rise with the brake on. have a great day

[MrAsiansk8er]

@sidhepro yea you did it right cause you usually get people who dont use the right buffers but your right if you use the right buffers and gas systems it will work fine but alot of people have feeding problems because not enough back pressure

I have heard Ed Avila in some of his videos, he sounds like a capital A hole by the way he was speaking to the other shooters.

[kingjoey1974]

The one issue I've heard about the Noveske is that the inserts get worn out really quick and are expensive to replace. I know a lot of dealers that are ditching them left and right. The Troy brake is a well-made unit, but extremely loud. I wouldn't sponsor ARFCOM if someone put a gun to my head. Ed Avila is the biggest self-aggrandizing douchebag in the gun industry and a genuine POS. Besides, we try not to cater to the Airsoft and mall ninja crowd that comprises most of ARFcom's roster
