Decisions on what muzzle device to install on an M14 can be more than confusing. Each time I nail a new rifle together, the question of what to put on the barrel to protect the crown arises. There all sorts of rave reviews, for many devices and how they enhance accuracy to the point of being overwhelming. Most do a fine job of protecting the most important muzzle crown, but I personally have yet to see one that will do much to improve accuracy. Some do a better job than others as far as reducing recoil, but that's about it.
What I am looking for is input from shooters that have actually documented results using flash suppressors and muzzle brakes other than the cool factor that seems to be the most appealing to the majority.
These are a few that I have used.

The of coarse there is the no cost option that I still think provides the best accuracy without the crown protection.
