Subject says it all. Almost.
I want to put a minimalist muzzle brake to cover the threads on a threaded barrel, but... there's these things marketed as "brakes" that also say "pre-ban", which would make me think they're not brakes after all.
One website I saw suggested that an A2 flash hider and post-ban A2 compensator only differed in that the former has a big open end, the latter a small, just bigger than the bullet end. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=395006
So... what makes this:

or this:
http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=942876
pre-ban?
How can one tell if it'd fail the MA AWB test?
