Side effects of a muzzle brake??

[byujakedmb]

I'm looking at getting the MB556K muzzle break for my AR15. I have a couple questions though..

Does anyone know if its compatible with the RRA predator pursuit upper (20")? I don't know why it wouldn't be, but I am new to this stuff so I figured I would ask.

Also, other than the intended effects, what else will the muzzle brake do? Change velocity, accuracy, etc?

Thanks for any help.

You and those around you will have a louder muzzle blast, and the muzzle flash may be more noticeable. Depending on the muzzle brake, it may also kick up dirt or debris when shooting prone.

even with the surefire suppressor over the brake?

you didn't mention the suppressor. That changes things.

The Predator series is not threaded, so you're in for a fair amount of machining to get to a standard AR threading size. If the Predators had an 18" barrel option and a standard muzzle thread, I think it would be among the premier uppers out there.
