Here's a pic of the X7 in the M4 type set up I wanted, with the Scenarioarms front end customed to my spec and the Pmag I modded on the other day :)

where did you get the muzzle break from anotsu?

is it integral to the barrel?

been thinking of something for my ATS for a while but not looked too hard...

It's a threaded muzzel break from RAP4uk. Sorry mate but it'll not be able to fit on the AT barrels :roll:

bolox

it's always been something i thought would drastically improve the look of an ats

there's a thread of the outside of the barrel? i think the ats barrels are aluminiun, shouldnt be that hard to cut a thread into it...

anyone got an ats barrel i can experiment on? where's milo?

Yeah it's the RAP4 recon barrel and has a thread on the tip to accept the different barrel tips that they do. There are a number of muzzel breaks including a Novesk type one and there are also two different mock suppressors that thread on aswell.

On the ATS the only muzzel break type end you can get is that on the shorted AT85 barrel.

am sure the thread could be cut onto the outside of the barrel, just dont wanna try on my only barrel!

the question is, how much is the tool to cut the thread? taps are cheap enough but i've never bought the tool to cut thread externally. google time...

Nope :?

If your that desperate you could buy the muzzel break get is machined out to fit over the narroer part of the AT barrel. Cut the end off the AT barrel if you have the 16" one and use set screw set into the muzzel break to hold it in place.
