308 bolt action rifle muzzle brake on AR10

[eric1911]

Why these popular bolt action rifle muzzle brakes, such as Area 419 Hellfire, Heathen, Little baster, are not commonly found on AR10?
I changed my PRS bolt action rifle from 308 to 6mm, so I have a .30 cal Hellfire leftover.
Is it a good idea to use it for a new AR10 build?
The new AR10 build is NOT for long-range shooting

No reason to to.

I’m using an A419 2 port break on my LMT MWS and my 300BLK pistol so I can use my SAS Arbiter on both along with my bolt guns.

I run a Hellfire on my AR-10 with no complaints from me. Now the guys beside me bitch about the muzzle blast but oh well.

Ran the same brake on my bolt guns, and gassers. Only difference is mags get 3 port (6 slots) and all the rest get the standard 2 port (4 slot). Hadn't run them without, but they really take the recoil down even further

Could have left the .30 brake on your 6mm but now that it's off you can easily run it on a gas gun.

I’m gonna put a hellfire match on my ar15 just for fun…. See how it performs in a club 2 gun match

Cadex mini brake is awesome on a .308 gun, gas or bolt action

IMHO a Gen 3 Bastard is the way to go, the ability to tune to the stick, and you is why

Because gun people derp. 99% of what gun people do is monkey see monkey do without thinking.

The rifle doesn't give a shit what the brake was "made for". Screw it on and go for it.

I've got a Hellfire Match on my 6.5CM AR build. Works nicely.
