Overview
The AFAB (Advanced Flash Arresting Brake) is Precision Armament's hybrid for the standard-length AR-15. Its patented matrix of small passageways slowly diffuses and cools combustion gas to reduce recoil, muzzle rise, and flash at the same time, so it does the job of a flash hider and a compensator without the side blast of a ported brake. The bottom is closed to keep dust down when prone.
It threads 1/2x28 for .223/5.56 AR-15, M16, and M4 rifles and is 2.225 inches long, 0.865 inch in diameter, and 3.0 ounces, in heat-treated stainless with an Ionbond CrCN coating. A 3/32-inch pilot hole allows pinning and welding to bring a 14.5-inch barrel to legal length. Precision Armament does not recommend it below 14.5 inches; at 16 inches it says the EFAB is only marginally better, so the choice comes down to preference.
