- I found a muzzle device that will extend under the hand guards but still has a compensator built in. A barrel shroud compensator combo muzzle device.

I bought one from Gun Tech more so to keep from burning my hands on the exposed barrel. Not to mention it protects the barrel as an added bonus, I wasn’t trying to make it look like it had a suppressor. I don’t notice any additional weight either and love the way it looks. Great video, went and bought mine after seeing this.
Thank you so much. I’ve been looking everywhere for this solution.
Suppressor bro it’s the only way
Hell yeh ! Your video just answers my question and idea on what I been trying to do ..
Thanks. I've got an HB Industries handguard that ends right at the barrel threads. The comp that I have on there now is dwarfed by the HB handguard. You just solved my problem. Thanks.
True story; I subscribed solely because he said neckbone out😂😂😂. Coolest tag line ever
That's looks good, man. Thanks for sharing✌
Congratulations from Brazil. I wanted to say that you're not the only one who thinks that way, I also think that thin barrel end is pretty ugly. I thought it was great to have found your video, now I know what I will do with my Diamondback DB10 Pistol. Thanks
Thanks Bro exactly what I needed for my AR💯
Looks good. Wishing nothing but good for you.
Nice video. I'm looking to put a "Fake" suppressor on my Tavor 5.56. I only have about 2 1/2 inches of expose barrel including the threads.
Hard to find Standard(?) Size, will be trying the micro. Great video, ty for posting
I found one last night on ar15 gun owners of America . That’s there website check it out over 150 in stock . The website he has linked there on back order and have only purple or blue in stock .
I use a Black Moose 5050 can..Works great and made of aluminum so it is much lighter than the steel ones.
Looks dope. Would love to see you shoot it to see the muzzle rise.
There is no shame, in enjoying a pretty gun.
There is nothing wrong with add ons based on aesthetics.
Of course they need to shoot well too.
That’s a given.
I’m not going to apologize or make less of the fact, that I like a pretty gun.
Could you do a recoil test with and without this
Anyone who doesn’t thinks looks are not important is full of crap. Of course looks matter. You definitely made the right choice brother. Rifle looks great now.
Looks sick
Sometimes we give up functionality for just plain looking cool. I’ve put GunTec barrel shrouds on every AR I own except for the ones with real suppressors
Do you use crush washers? I’m building my first AR and my GunTec shroud doesn’t fit with a crush washer on.
I just used a rubber O ring
@@GUARD14NI use as crush washer
@@Ctreo7 my barrel shroud didn't fit over the crush washer. So I ended up using a high temp O-ring as recommended by Kevin. Fits like a glove
LOL I did the same thing, but instead of using a barrel shroud, I used a Suppressor and a short barrel. 7.5 inch barrel in .300 BLK, 6.5 inch Suppressor, 12.35 inch Handguard to cover the whole thing. I actually had a reason for doing this other than just looks- I didn't want to risk a baffle strike that would result in the whole can exploding in my face. With the handguard, there is a significant chance of it being captured and funneled forward instead. It was enough to convince me. In all honesty, I didn't even like the look until AFTER I did it. That's when I fell in love with the look, and have tried to replicate it with any short barrel rifle I have now. Working on figuring out a way to do it for an AK build I've got... so far it doesn't look good though. Apparently, not many people think that look is very "AKish" or something. 🤷♂️
I'm about to start a 300blk build with suppressor. Didn't even think of getting a longer handguard as an exploding can deterrent. Is it a pain to adjust the gas block though? Would be cool if someone made handguards that came apart in the middle or something
@@NeckboneArmory a company does make a quick release hand guard kind of like the quick release optics u pull a tab and it comes right off also no play when locked in mainly used for 300blk for those adjustable blocks that way u can easily play with it on the range
Yea I have one. I love it
cool, thank you for sharing.
did u ever make a second video on performance of this shroud ? how loud is the rifle now ?
The A2 flash hider is a comp too that works without excess weight and without fireballs.
Wry underrated device, it does everything you need and looks decent
But it's uglier than a man's ass !
Was wondering do you know if this product is universal with calibers I have a 350 legend I'm wanting to do this to having a hard time finding anything compatible with my caliber thanx
Looks great. So if it was longer would it work as a heat shield too?
Maybe kinda? I don't think I'd want to hold onto it or anything but it's not as hot as the barrel gets. Covers few inches of barrel
Gonna get one of these, but I’m gonna chop a couple inches off the back shroud portion to where you can’t see it through my bca upper I just ordered. Might only save a couple ounces but I don’t need it to be any longer than what it needs to be.
Just in case you don’t already know this, Guntec also sells one that’s only 3 inches long and it’s a couple dollars cheaper. That one might work for you.
@@rdlsar15 is it also a compensator?
as long as you like it !!!!!!
Any videos of it being used ?
Not sure if you answered or if even anyone has asked. Does this require timing, is it hand tightened or can you use tools to tighten/time?
I need this in OD Green!
!
Do this kind of muzzle brake actually make recoil lower? It looks like a fake silencer with some ports :(
Great video. I bought the M&P Response for light shooting/home defense. I tried getting my wife into shooting. But anything more than a 22 scares the hell out of her. She likes the Response. But still a little skittish. This may just do the trick. Then I would be able to make that gun "hers", and pick something a little nicer for myself LOL.
is this the shoulder thingy that goes up?
maybe the shroud will just add some weight to the front and mitigate heat.
What will it do when you barrel moves enough to bounce around and hit against the hand guard?
little scuff marks
will this fit a .300 blk barrel thread?
How about a shorter shroud by this outfit for 10-5" barrels? The one described above would hit the gas block on shorter barrels.
They do have a shorter option

Has anyone tried this with the aero atlas handguard?
How do u even tighten this down without it coming lose ? There is no slots for a hex to cutout for a wrench. STRAP WRENCH?
Do you need a crush washer when installing a 3 inch compensator with the threads starting at 1 and 1 quarter inch?
How is the guntec shroud/Brake working out for you?? Is a crush washer necessary for installation, does it stay tight?? Thanks in advance.
I didn't use a crush just torqued it down tight and it stays so far
@@NeckboneArmory
What is the torque spec?. I bought the same one.
Thank you for this video I didn’t know these existed
I just got 2. One for my 16 inch with 15 inch handguard which looks awesome but my 300 has a 12 inch handguard and it sits inside the handguard. Def not gunna work. Got a new 10 inch handguard but now thinking about another build all together. When does it end!!! Hahhaaaha
I have about 1.5” to 2” of barrel I want to cover on my AR pistol. Can you make something for that?
They make a shorter one. I don't make barrel shrouds I was just doing a sort of review.
Here's the link to the shorter one. There's not a ton of options for this type of thing
link: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=15098&u=2698398&m=4355&urllink=www%2Eopticsplanet%2Ecom%2Fguntec%2Dusa%2Dar%2D15%2Dmicro%2Dslip%2Dover%2Dbarrel%2Dshroud%2Dw%2Dmulti%2Dport%2Dmuzzle%2Dbrake%2Ehtml&afftrack=
Any chance you can provide the max od barrel that Guntec comp will accept? I cannot find any other reviews or information on this thing.
The inside diameter was about 3/4" maybe a little less. Threaded onto 1/2" barrel thread. I couldn't find anything about which barrel size it fits on either. I'm guessing any 1/2" threaded AR barrel with OD less than 3/4" should fit. Keep in mind I am wrong almost all the time.
@@NeckboneArmory Thanks! I even emailed the manufacturer and they would not provide the dimensions. Sounds like this will work on my barrel.
What muzzle brake is that, I love it !

Do you apply loctite or a washer or how do you install it so it doesn't become loose? Thanks in advance.
I don't use anything since I take it on and off pretty often. A lock washer would probably be what I'd use to keep it on there. Would need to find a way to torque this down though since the only accessible part is the ports when you put it on there. I've had luck with a spanner wrench using one of the ports to tighten it down.
@@NeckboneArmory I was thinking using a strap wrench.
So do you need a crush washer? And how tight does it need to be tightened down??
I didn't use one one this
I've got the same thing but the crush washer is preventing it from sliding over the barrel 🤔
hmm I don't use a crush washer with this one. I wonder if they make smaller ones that will fit
@@NeckboneArmory Do you hand tighten it or how do you put it on? If hand tightening it, any issues arising or concerns, like it coming loose? Do you put an anti seizing lube on it to prevent carbon locking?
@@BattlefieldBroskies I tighten with a punch through one of the holes by hand. There's probably a better tool, could even use shims. I put a little aeroshell grease on the threads for most muzzle devices. It came loose on me once but I just tighten it back up tighter and no problem since
Thanks for this video man and nicee AR that rifle looks sexyyy
So the flash is only directed forward and not through the side holes with this?
The side holes are ports. It reduces flash if that's what you mean. Gases still exit through those side holes to help stabilize when firing.
What’s the name of that manufacture for that shroud/compensator “combo”?

That looks way better
Just saw your video on the barrel shroud. Wondering who's handguard that is. ???
I totally forget where I got that, maybe ar15discount but not sure
@@NeckboneArmory ok thanks
Do they make something like this that has a muzzle brake combo shroud?
How is it in regards to the sound? Did it make louder or the same?
louder down range but less for the shooter. wasnt a huge difference though
Is that a 16" barrel? What that the 3.5 or 5.5 inch shroud
2022 seen this. thank you Lone wolf 45acp pcc alpha/wolf 45acp .578-28 threads
Brought 2 for my arp and ar10 rifle
Will it prevent you from putting any mlok attachments?
I'm assuming yes as I'm having this issue now
What length barrel/handguard are you running?
15" handguard 16"barrel
Who makes this barrel shroud compensator combo
So basically a shoulder thing that goes up?
What handguard is that? Who makes it? Etc Etc. Please and thank you.
shoot I forget sorry. was getting a lot of stuff off ar15discount and optics planet for that build though
Does the shroud interfere with m lok attachments in the same area?
Yes it does, I had to move my pic rail back to accommodate the shroud.
Cosmetically, that does look better. But... a comp on a 16" barrel is really not needed unless your shooting 2-gun and want to cut a few hundreds off your time. On a self defense rifle, a flash hider makes more practical sense. Or, you can split the difference and run a PWS FSC Comp/flash hider; I run one pinned on my 14.5 Gunner. I'm not sure what comp that monster is you have there, but it looks a lot more like it would function as a linear comp...which is nearly useless on a 16" bbl. Regardless, thanks for reviewing your process; always helps to see other shooter's mods! 👊🏼🇺🇲👊🏼
Do they make dummy compensators like they do suppressors? For Glocks.
I don't think so. I've never seen one
@@NeckboneArmory someone should make a threaded barrel cap that makes the gun more aesthetic ally pleasing that goes beyond a simple cap.
Weight?
you would think firearm Mfg's would have address that that gap between the handguard and muzzle device more than what it is. really I wish someone would come up with a better device to use, that you can use with pretty much any muzzle device,, and still be able to cover that hideous gap like a simple lightweight sleeve
What’s the length of your hand guard?
The handguard is 15" but the barrel was 16"
Does this extend the barrel at all? Looking to take a 14.5” to 16”
no it doesn't. You would have to pin and weld it for it to count as barrel length
@@NeckboneArmory So it will add the 1.5” after it’s pin and welded?
And we all know that rule #1 is to look Kool.
Does that particular barrel shroud produce a big fireball??
I didn't get any big fireball
@@NeckboneArmory thanks bro
Does the gas block get in the way?
In my case it's far enough back. The shroud part would not fit over though. Maybe rifle length gas system it would hit the gas block
What is the barrel size and handguard size?
I think it was 15" handguard on a 16" barrel
So crush washer or no crush washer?
you can use crush washer but don't need to. I dont have one on this muzzle device right now
What kind of scope is that?
Prism scope, I think monstrum
What optic is that?
It was one of the monstrum 3x prism scopes I got it off amazon for around 2-3 hundred I think. Was a while ago sorry here is closest link I could find:
www.amazon.com/s?k=monstrum+3x+prism&linkCode=ll2&tag=neckbonearmory-20&linkId=4b33577ef93824c321d67bead5062338&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
I came to see how he tightened it down. That part seems to be top secret on these type. :(
I tightened it with a punch through one of the ports
Is this product legal in California
I'm not from California and don't know the legal stuff there so don't listen to this: I think rimfire doesn't have to follow the attachment law thing. For pistols you can't because it makes them 'assault pistols' whatever that is. Basically, it depends what you put it on.
Yes a comp and linear comp or Blast Can are legal
I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT LOOKS, COOL.
What AR-15 is this?
was a 80 lower and a faxon gunner barrel and I forget the rest
yep, just imagine a Kriss Vector without a barrel shroud.
You could also get a shorter barrel or longer handrail
I just don’t like how shiny it is, if it was flat black it would look way better.
Just got mines in but it’s the micro and it’s flat black
What's a barrel shroud? Don't you have to ask a politician that question to find out how much more lethal it makes the firearm? LMAO
the shoulder thing that goes up?
Oh ya, that looks great 👍👌😀
Now if hair sniffer POTUS doesn't take them from us. We can have a good time. 👍
You replaced a flash hider with a flash hider
So you just hand tight a barrel shroud? There's isnt anyway to use for a wrench
That's what I do. You can put a punch tool in the ports and get more leverage too.
I have a few questions So are these legal like no tax stamp or atf/nfa needed? and what does 1/2x28 mean? Also removing the muzzle break from a 16 inch barrel wouldn’t that make the rifle an SBR since it doesn’t meant the ATF’s 16 inch requirement?
lol
Take that dam monstrum crap sight off that gun! Like now! 😂
It's anodized aluminum and weighs 6 ounces, why would you notice it? Lol
Lol 5ft 1½
You saved wight with the gunner barrel and added it back with the barrel shroud, and to the end of the gun where you don't want it. This is a fail.
Aluminum on a steel barrel....nit the best idea
Hell no
