Oh I won’t let him get anything shorter than a mid length gas tube. He’s looking at a complete upper from aero so it’ll be mostly aero/magpul. Muzzle device, charging handle, sights/optics, maybe BCG will be aftermarket
I asked AP not to install the standard A2 flash hider on my upper because California, and they said no problem. Except that they forgot to send the crush washer, but no big deal. I went with the Strike Industries J Comp muzzle device and couldn't be happier. That sucker works surprisingly well, and not bad for having a suggested retail price for only $24.95 at the time. Sadly, that version is no longer in production. There's now a newer revised version that retails for a few bucks more.

Do you also run a heavier buffer?

I’ve switched over to the VG6 gamma and am happy so far, I did order some heavier buffers yesterday so I have a long range day ahead of me.

Here’s what I reference for muzzle brakes:

The info may be a few years old but they did cover most of the popular brakes out there. I’m sure there’s newer models not covered

It’s in the second one. It won the reduction/dollar measurement.

I’ll likely try one out later on. These VG6 gammas are loud as hell

J Comps are louder, way louder. I was asked to leave an indoor range because it was that ridiculously loud. it was FT3 in Stanton. I also had 2 range boxes full of gun smiting tools ripped off during another visit months later. I also did an IDPA tournament there that was ran by an idiot. But other than that, that range is aight..

That is a function that is missing on my AR's! Full auto and burst mode would be awesome! The amount of money I would need for ammo would sky rocket!
I would LOVE to have bursts, full auto would be neat but honestly it seems more of a novelty thing than something practical on these types of guns. I really just want a SMG. How fun would it be to have a full auto 9mm MP5k
