Aim Pro/ O.F. Mossberg FLEX System at SHOT 2012

For 90% of the Joe Schmoes that have that muzzle device and don't know what it's for I would have to agree with you. However it does have a purpose which is breaching. The teeth dig into a wooden door frame a little and keep it from moving and the length spaces the muzzle away from the door and lets gas escape through the vents. It's for breachers. Saying it's "Gay" or "French" is just showing ignorance.

To the OP I'll buy the shit out of one of those mounts if it comes out for an 870.

A shotgun doesn't have enough pressure at the muzzle to accomplish anything with a brake. The reason shotgun brakes have never caught on is because they don't work. But hope springs eternal and folks keep trying. As for these brakes, they are strictly for looks. Kind of like the spoiler on the family car or the one on the pimply kid next door's car.

This was actualy designed at my request for the military. They are not muzzle brakes, but as others have stated are stand off devices. They are broadly used in differant forms by LE Agencies nationwide and by select units in the Army and USMC. They have been a nitch product for over a decade, with Mossberg making them a main stream item with the commercial release a few years ago.

Stand off devices function to prevent over preasure in the barrels and burst barrels when doing ballistic breaching. It's not a common occurance, but it happens enough that we provided a large Army organization with a version of this barrel. They have broad latatude to purchase what they want and purchased those to meet several requirements they had.

I make NO effort to sell those barrels to the public, as the application isn't required for civilians.

If you thought Mossberg went full retard with the Chainsaw 500, take a look at this:

Jesus Christ! I don't understand how shit like this gets passed through to production. Looks like Mossberg is taking the sig plunge

Aimpro is releasing a new sight at SHOT 12:

They should make a version of that for bolt action rifles.

They should make a version of that for bolt action rifles.

Mike is working on some now. Which one Remington, Savage, ect....

[RAM Engineer]

Is that Flex system "retro-fittable" to older 590A1 shotguns or does it require a new gun?

[DMR]

It is retrofit able, it was one of our requirements when i pitched it. I don't believe they plan on offering it retail. We will be able to get some to support contracts.

Great!

I was wondering when someone would do this.

Remington, Savage, and Ruger 77 for all the GSR's out there. The XS rail they're making for the GSR isn't what most of the market wants. Guys just want to be able to have a rear sight and use conventional scope position.
