Question about a slip on muzzle brake

[massnee]

I have a slip on muzzle brake (attaches to the barrel by 4 screws). Is it legal under the mass awb to attach this to a bushmaster with an unthreaded barrel? The rifle is not pre-ban.

Muzzle brakes are fine regardless of how they attach. Flash suppressors are the things that are included in the list of features that invoke the ban.

thanks for the help

I would say that its legal, a bigger problem though is going to be
keeping the thing on there. (the clamp on jobs have a tendency to
loosen on their own and then end up getting blown downrange! )
Also, unless its designed well, I doubt it will do much to .223. I've
found many brakes on .223 AR's to be nearly worthless... many of them
just increase the noise and blast around the shooter and don't
do a heck of a lot more. At least in this case if thats what happens
you can just remove it.

Make sure you use LOCK TIGHT or your gonna find that puppy floating on the end of your barrel!
