I plan on buying a new Bushmaster 20" hvy barrel rifle in the very near future. I am in search of a good looking and not so loud break to put on the barrel. Wilson Combat has a nice one, but they want you to send the upper in to them to permanently install it. No dice, I'm not about to send my rifle away out of state for 3 weeks! Couldn't I just as easily get a competent gunsmith to install this for me? I have one nearby that has a very nice shop with lots of equipment, and he has done some great work in the past. Also, what would need to be done to classify this modification as "permanently installed"? I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer me. I have emailed Wilson Combat several times asking them what I need to do, but they have ignored me and given no response. This is my first experience with Wilson and my first impression is that their customer service sucks. I realize that I don't need a muzzle break to have a good rifle, but I have grown up seeing something on the end of those AR barrels and without something there, it just doesn't look like an AR-15. I wouldn't even want one if it didn't look somewhat like what an AR-15 should be in my mind. If I can't have a break installed locally I guess I'm stuck with the Smith Enterprise set screw model which will probably fly 100 yds downrange by the time I'm finished with the first mag! Thanks.
