whats so special about KAC’s new flash hidder?
Read up some on the properties of Inconel alloys - mostly nickel extreme application material that stands up to a lot of abuse at high temperatures, resist oxidation, and are very durable. Another aerospace material brought to the AR15 platform, the reason it’s so expensive is that inconel is inherently hard to machine.
The Triple Tap is a compensator not a flash hider.
The material resists heat damage better than steel. As far its performance goes it does a good job of eliminating recoil, muzzle rise, and concussion. Its just a little louder than an A2 so you can shoot it close to other people, and not rock their skulls barely any worse than an A2.
If you are not looking to mount the NT4 can then look at the BattleComp. Ive got both, and the BC is very similar to the TP in terms of performance for 1/3RD the price. Its a new item that just came out. Theres a 10 page thread here somewhere.

thanks for the reply. my question is why the heavy price tag. the triple tap is more then triple the cost of most muzzle breaks.
do not get me wrong i’ll buy one just cause its rare, i just do not have the gun knowledge some of you guys have.
I read in a previous thread that there are high manufacturing cost associated with machining inconel.
Does anybody know if you can get a replacement mounting kit? I am interested in picking up a used one and didn’t know if the washers or cleaning disk were missing if you could replace them?
Let me know

He’d probably be the guy to help you out.
Thanks for the help titleist, I will try them tomorrow.
I’ve no wish to be unkind about it, but I fail to understand this comment.

I have also seen a few pics on the super tap brake that is getting ready to come out. Does anyone know if it would be able to work with an M1A set up for CQB?
For reference, there are a variety of Inconel alloys, all of them have a significant content of Chromium and Nickel. Inconel 625 is all Chromium and Nickel, others like I718 have other alloying elements such as Iron (11%). All of them are hard to work, and some like I718 require vacuum heat treatment (total elapsed time almost 24 hours) to attain full strength.
The material alone will be much more expensive than Carbon Steel.
And, I recall a quote from 30 or so years ago from a new, at the time, machinist - “WHAT IS THIS SHIT???”
