6310-6310 (5/8x24)

Those are what Diamondbacks have on them now.

Funny True story, in the pic of it hanging on the ceiling you will see two orange curly rod holders to the left. Well i don't have those anymore. i was catfishing on a nearby pond and had a pole in each of them stuck in the bank. so it's kinda slow and i relax and sit back in the chair and about that time a catfish hit the line hard, pulled that cheap piece of crap outta the ground and in the water, with my dern rod and reel with it.

I started to jump in after it and thought better, so there went my rod and reel in the bottom of this big pond. So i stood up and said a few choice words, pulled my rod outta the other one and pulled it up and threw it far as i could in the pond and yelled, you might as well have this other one too you SOB. Both my grandsons are dying laughing. i was pissed. one of em started talking some trash and i took off after him. he knew my old butt couldn't catch him. we all still get a laugh at that.

What pissed me off more is i lost an expensive muzzle brake.

Thanks guys!




I was aware the "stock" muzzle device on this rifle would be pretty obnoxious. One of my instructors was in the store while I was making the purchase and I asked him about it. He said, "Yeah, it gets pretty loud but for the rifle class I always tell my students to double up on the ear-pro." With that recommendation I think I'll tame this beast a bit and order up an A2 Flash Hider.

I've been on the range in the bay next to one of these rifles with a muzzle brake. The concussion felt like an earth quake. It was blowing targets off the carriers. I don't want to be "that guy".

Are they all about the same? Can I spend $10-$15 or do I need to spend $50? It seems 1/2"-28 is the standard thread. I will RTFM to make sure mine is the same.

All you guys are pretty fantastic.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Before I suppressed my 10.5 in shortie AR it had a a pretty obnoxious flash hider on it and when we would fire it we would all giggle because you could feel the blast in your chest.
