Great post. So between the lower mounted swivel point the asp and perhaps a stock mounted sling swivel what are the pros and cons? Also there are the buffer tube mounts for sling swivels (which seem to be a favorite of pat Roberts 6940s ) that do not seem to locate the sling point that far from the KAC point so what about those? Understand the asp is single point so what about just two point systems? Thanks. Great post.

BUT...... All that brake is basically the inside part of a suppressor. In fact it works with the NT-4 KAC suppressor and in fact is considered the first stack. So that's what it is, the inside part of a suppressor without the can. It does get black with use and the material is very hard, so that it prevents scraps from bullets, especially in full auto. From what I have read it does work though. But so do so many others. It is really designed to be used with the NT-4 as a system. If you do not have the matching suppressor than you don't need it and can use one of the many other proven designs. KAC.......the company is what it is. I by no means am not an expert!!!!!

I have a ASAP and I find it is a pain to install. I don't like the ring attached to the ASAP. I understand the ring was there to allow the stock to be close but I think there is a better way to handle it. The Noveske QD end plate is the best tho. Anyway great rifle. Put some more rounds through the rifle to turn the brake into black. It looks much better in black.

Nuff said, personal preference. And yes it's an ASAP, the KAC QD points are absurdly placed, and do not work well when shifting from weapon to reaction side. jdun, I do have a KAC suppressor and thus I think it’s worth it.

You decided not to use the integrated QD swivel mount? That's the best part about KAC lowers. Is that a Magpul ASAP you got there? You decided not to use the integrated QD swivel mount?

Anyway it cost $435 not including shipping at Operationparts. You have to get it fast tho. Once they have in stock and people post it up on AR15.com, it usually sold out within a hour or two. http://www.operationparts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=25683 Here is another fanboy thread on it. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=467117 I mean “That and not That’s”.

I personally think it is not worth it. A $30 brake does the same thing unless you're using KAC suppressor. 14 pages of fanboy discussion on it and counting. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=124&t=167090 I like the integrated sling swivel mount on their lower receiver. I'll bet they have a patent on it. That’s shinny brake cost $450+ and not including shipping. I personally think it is not worth it.

It darkens from use and ends up looking like this, especially in combination with a KAC NT4 QDSS suppressor: http://lawndartdesign.com/guns/TTB_QDSS_01.jpg It’s one of the earlier generation triple tap brakes, which is made of inconel, and left in the raw.
