Yes, it will be right after the current QD is finished. I am doing a redesign on the brake to make it a machined part and to make it primarily a very good brake.

Keep in mind that an A2 FH can vary a lot from various manufacturer. I won't guarantee that it will work with every FH but it should work with all mil spec FH's. It also won't seal as well as the new QD design above. It will be very handy for those that want to use an A2 though and due to the weight, shouldn't change POI very much.

Thanks for that! Take your time. Keep in mind that all the big names have been chasing each other and doing much the same thing.

With a few people in the states starting to take measurements from the ear instead of just the muzzle, I think there will be some redesigns on many products. The main one will be cans primarily optimized to bolt guns and cans optimized to SA. This is mainly to do with back pressure problems on SA that cause the sound signature at the ear to be more than at the muzzle on many cans.

Sound is sound and a can is only as good as the maximum sound level it produces on the rifle system whether it is at the muzzle or out the chamber. Frankly, pushing sound out the chamber to get a good muzzle number is bad for the rifle and bad for the shooter in my opinion. This is why I will produce data on all my new cans with sound at the right ear as well as mil spec at the muzzle.

Of course, you can change your gas system, change your buffer and a lot of other things but I will keep one rifle set up as a bog standard M4 so that I can get a feel for how the can is working. This is also why I give actual numbers rather than an ambiguous XX dB's. By giving all the test data on the rifle, ammo, where the measurements were taken, a customer can get an idea of how the product performs. Due to overly competitive marketing people at some companies, you get an XX dB rating that doesn't say if it was at the ear or muzzle and often you find that a can that is marketed as a "full auto rated can" is tested on a bolt gun for sound reduction.
