Ruger american gen ii ranch in 5.56 upgrade - Griffin Armament Mini Titanium Muzzle Brake

I wanted a compact and lightweight (Ti) break that will accept a can or blast forward device to replace the factory break that came on my Ruger American Gen II Ranch in 5.56. It is .5 inches shorter than the factory Break. I could not get this unit to time perfectly with the supplied shims. However, I utilized a crush washer and solved this issue. Personally speaking, it looks way better than the factory unit and functions as expected. I also bought the optional Taper Mount thread protector that rounds out this system and looks great (to me). I would buy again and replace with this unit on a few of my other builds.
