Re: Thunder Beast Arms - New Brake-Attach Suppressors
Tom,
The way I see it, the benefit of the clamping AI brake is that it can be easily removed and replaced with just an allen wrench and "manual" eyeball timing - no torque to time. This is helpful if you want to remove and replace it often. With the BA brake, the intent is that you leave the brake on all the time and add/remove the suppressor, so the benefit of the clamping brake is minimal. In addition, the brake is held square by the clamping force of the threads against the shoulder, while the clamp brake is held square "only" by the sleeve over the profile section of the barrel. The former is preferable for suppressor alignment. The BA brake is easy to time with the supplied peel washer.
We'll keep it in mind for a future product, but custom work is too disruptive to our production schedule now that we're busy most of the time.
thanks
Zak
