[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1262117, member: 69799"] To increase velocity, you would either need to increase the length of your barrel of make your loads "hotter" (using more powder). Making loads hotter can increase the velocity of your round, but you run a very real risk of causing serious damage to your gun or your body if you don't know what you are doing. I would recommend NOT playing around with hotter loads until you have done a lot of research on the subject. At least until you get more experience, I would stick with factory ammo or quality hand loads. A muzzle break will decrease the recoil by redirecting gasses. They also make a gun sinfully loud. Wear hearing protection!! I've never heard of a muzzle brake significantly increasing muzzle velocity enough to warrant further study. A suppressor will decrease the velocity of a round by trapping some of the gasses created in the firing process. I enjoy using a suppressor as much as possible for the noise reduction. You will see a change in the point of impact when using a suppressor compared to not utilizing a suppressor. You would need to get your barrel threaded (most likely 5/8x24) and purchase a quality suppressor. ATF wait times are around 8 months currently. [/QUOTE]
