Bushmaster carbon 15 - No threaded barrel, need a muzzle break clamp on

[drussell077]

I bought a Bushmaster carbon 15 rifle.

it didn't come with a threaded barrel, Is there a clamp on muzzle break i can attach to it to make it look a little better? It doesn't need to have a purpose, just for looks. lol I appreciate any help.
Thanks

The set screw type brakes never "held" onto the barrel very well. Sooner or later (mostly sooner) they launched down range.
Leave it plain or have a shop thread the barrel.

Thanks a lot, much appreciated. they quoted $400 for a new threaded barrel so i guess i just leave it blank. Thanks

$400 for a threaded barrel? Who ever that was I'd recommend never giving them business again.

You can grab a basic AR barrel from about anywhere for ~$150. Threading a barrel is pretty easy, normally $30-$70.

Would recommend getting a flash hider unless you enjoy having your sinus cavity hit with a hammer, like most brakes will do to you.

in NJ flash hiders are illegal, like everything else. But yeah, i should go to someone else for a better price.

Sounds like they saw an inexperienced person coming and decided to take advantage of you. They should be able to thread the barrel you have for under $100.
