I need a recommendation

[EddieCoyle]

I'm building a dedicated .22LR AR-15 upper.

I have a threaded barrel. Can somebody recommend a cheap ban-compliant muzzle device?

TIA

One of these looks like it would work good. Eagle Remington Model 597 22LR Slipover Muzzle Brake.

These people have them for $29.95 and they look great.

Type in muzzle in search.

This one is a fair price and should function and look decent.

Or just a simple thread protector

I have a Branson Compensator seen here: http://www.del-ton.com/Branson_Compensator_p/bp1064.htm

It was affordable, looks good, and works.

does a thread protector need to be permently attached?

 

[vicpinto]

I use this one on my AR. I like the front end of it - looks mean.

I have a Cavalry Arms Comp on mine and it looks decent.

I believe that if you choose to attach a muzzle brake or comp it must be permanently installed. I wouldn't do it but rather say with the thread protector.

 

[vellnueve]

I believe EC is well aware of that fact.

If he is, the answer is a "no brainer". Why vandalize your barrel with a weld on or silver soldered muzzle brake (or comp) which will offer no advantage, except the added weight at the muzzle. A centerfire rifle comp will just not have enough gas to work with in a 22LR application. Leave the barrel alone.

Because he wants to?

(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon ;
(iii) a bayonet mount;
(iv) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and
(v) a grenade launcher;

I believe I'll call this a "felony fail" instead of "no brainer".
