My problem with this muzzle brake is that I’ve occasionally found it difficult to time the muzzle brake with the included shims. So why not use crush washers for muzzle brakes?īut I digress. You can use a crush washer for a compensator, though. If it’s necessary to use shims for a muzzle brake, so be it. And I’ve never had a muzzle device that’s mounted with a crush washer come loose. I find it much easier to time a muzzle device with a crush washer. I don’t know if shims are a requirement for muzzle brakes. My only complaint about the fit is the shims. This muzzle device threaded on super smoothly and easily. The threading is incredibly smooth and well finished. So think about that.The next aspect of the fit and finish that I noticed is the threading for mounting the muzzle brake to your barrel. But it’s good enough that you’ll probably never need to buy another muzzle brake (unless you get another rifle).Īnd that makes it a better long term value than most other muzzle devices. So, yeah, the LANTAC Dragon SilencerCo ASR Muzzle Brake is expensive. You’ll thank yourself if you decide to get a suppressor later on. If you’re only interested in recoil reduction and improved control, get the Dragon anyway. If you want a good muzzle brake-but are most interested in getting an outstanding suppressor mourning system-get the SilencerCo ASR Muzzle Brake. If you want the best performance, with or without a suppressor, get the Dragon. I would sum up the decision between a different muzzle brake and the Dragon muzzle brake like this: However, for your money, you get a muzzle brake that looks cooler, offers more recoil and muzzle rise reduction, and perfectly fits SilencerCo suppressors. This muzzle brake is notably more expensive than the SilenceCo ASR Muzzle Brake. Here’s the last thing I’ll say about the Dragon ASR Muzzle Brake: it’s expensive. Your mileage may vary based on your barrel’s gas port size and gas system length.Īnyway, even though it may not be perfect, I will say that this muzzle brake performs just as well as most dedicated muzzle brakes, which is a step up over the SilencerCo muzzle brake.
ASR MUZZLE BRAKE REVIEW SERIES
But it’s just not quite zero.Īlso, my 14.5 rifle has a Criterion Core Series Barrel with a mid-length gas system. After installing the Dragon, the felt recoil is MUCH softer. The felt recoil with this muzzle brake is super soft.īut I test fired my rifle with the original compensator before I installed the LANTAC muzzle brake. On the other hand, the Dragon doesn’t reduce recoil to zero, as far as I can tell. If you mount the Dragon muzzle brake on a shorter rifle, you may get less than perfect muzzle rise reduction. Keep in mind that I have this muzzle brake mounted on a rifle with a 14.5 inch barrel. But it feels like this muzzle brake might actually reduce the muzzle rise to zero.
It’s hard to gather any mathematical data. I will admit that the muzzle rise reduction might be perfect. I’m just not convinced that the Dragon reduces these forces to zero.
Now, don’t get me wrong, the recoil and muzzle rise reduction are outstanding. However, LANTAC claims that the Dragon muzzle brake “reduces muzzle rise and recoil to zero.” Up to this point, the Dragon muzzle brake lives up to every claim that LANTAC makes about it.
