Came across this and figured I'd get one. I like the look, and it's shorter than the standard unit. Obviously no lug, and it is machined from a casting. Thinking it's Chinese origin since it's cheap and came with lock screw, Allen wrench.
Less than $20 shipped from Northridge Inc via ebay.

I wonder if it is a NORINCO or Polytech accessory/option.

 

[Snyper762]

Don't know. Maybe our Canadian cousins could chime in.

I don't know who made them, but I have several for sale... They work pretty good at about half the price of an SEI.

Never seen these before, but they look like they should be effective at dampenng muzzle flip and recoil.
Just check alignment and tightness.

I have chopped down and rethreaded a few of the Chinese M14 original flash hiders, turning them into muzzle brakes or comps, but eventually decided the amount of work involved wss not worth it.

SO,
I designed a muzzle brake SPECIFICALLY for use on M14 barrels that have been chopped .These are marketed by M14.CA. THEY DO NOT MOUNT WITH THE USUAL M14 SYSTEM, but instead require threading the muzzle to AR 15 specs. My design uses a seperate CLAMP ON front sight tower, which is a bit taller.

NOTE: I have experimented extensively with muzzle devices on the M14, and have found some such devices do signifucantly reduce muzzle flip and recoil, resulting in felt recoil similar to an SKS shooting .30 Russian ammo. However, I have also found that modifying the butt stock to a straight-in -line-with-the bore design, is the most effective method for improving control on fast multiple shots. Or else, shooting lighter bullets or loading down the powder.

Honestly not going to be using it for a while yet. My 2 current builds sport the traditional style, I like them that way. If I end up with a scout down the line I'll put it on that. Thought it was neat, price was right so I had to get it and share.

Looks similar to some of the muzzle brakes that were used during the modernization of the M1 Garand to the M14, specifically the Remington T27 rifle.

I dug around and finally found one in it's original box. The box is marked BAM, M14.308 RIFLE, MUZZLEBREAK CLAMP-ON. It was made in China of course. As I recall they were sold by one of my distributors, but I can't remember which one. I have about six of them available if anyone is interested.

So I actually put it on my Bula barrel and yikes. Bobble all over. Very loose in the splines. Might be a solution for your slightly out of time barrel though.

 

[Ted Brown]

I haven't tried installing one, but I slipped one on a Criterion barrel after seeing the previous post. It does fit a little loose, however it tightens up with the nut installed to an acceptable degree.

These have been around for years. They turn up as guns shows, Numrich used to sell them as well.

They are cast, with relatively poor parkerizing. While an effective design, you would probably want to polish it up and coat it with BBQ paint or Alumahyde. The splines are more narrow than standard devices, and should work very well on barrels with tight grooves.

I have one in the parts drawer. If somebody feels like using it, shoot me a PM. $16 shipped.
