I will gander if it's called a flash hider it's a no go in MA. Although I can't see much difference in the old school birdcage A2 flash hider from some of the A2 style brakes like the one from RRA.

yea, those flash hiders allow you kill dozens of schoolchildren with one shot.

any recomendations for a good muzzle brake, cheaper end of the price spectrum
would be good.

Take the upper to Northeast Arms in Peabody and they'll grind off the bayonet lug and pun and weld a muzzle brake. They have plenty to choose from. I got a Cav Comp for about $30 and a Claymore Brake for about $60 from them.

+1 for Northeast Arms - they do great work. Also very knowledgeable about all the different brakes/comps he has. I got the CMMG and love it - it's the right kind of loud, not the sharp, annoying type of loud.

I know two people who have this one. Basically an A2 with a closed front end for legality. It throws one heck of a fireball and is obnoxiously loud.

Guys shooting a few lanes over from us had uppers from windham with these on. So loud. I was surprised that it was so similar to a regular cage but performed so different.

I put a Griffin Compensator on my .308AR. They make a 5.56 version. Nice product that gets great reviews.

Ok, a question regarding comps/brakes.. If i have a barrel that is at the legal length of 16" before a comp or brake is installed and it is threaded for one, can i just put a thread protector on it and legally use it until i find a brake that i want ??

No cause you can unscrew the thread protector and put a scary flash hider on it . Or a evil can.
If your freaked out by the cops busting you get it brazed on . It doesn't mess the threads up like pinning and welding .
