Putting together an 11.5” barreled 5.56 rig. I have cans but just want to run this unsuppressed as I don’t really let my suppressors migrate from their native hosts.

I’ve been debating getting something like a flash can or blast shield over a brake. Specifically looking at the Fortis. Question is do you still get good braking action? Are these things even decent at all or just BS?

It’ll be fired at indoor ranges, outside, and in small fairly enclosed shoot house style structures. Sending blast forward doesn’t seem like a bad idea, but I’ve never used one.

I’m thinking it’s going to be a flash hider if I don’t go this route. Probably a Forward Controls 6315.
