Re: new RA open muzzle

Interesting design. I like the way it guides the rubbers but it appears bigger & bulkier than I would have expected. I thought the idea was a simpler & more stream-line muzzle. The Muzzle also seems longer (or is that an illusion?) - does that mean the total length of say an 80cm gun will be a few cm longer (obviously the barrel length itself will not change). Do you find loading/aiming open muzzles better? When I posed the question to RA some time ago, he didn't seem to be a fan. So I wonder if this is just a fashion/fad. Anyone compared it to the aftermarket Hammerhead open muzzles or Rabitech open muzzle?



When I started, I found loading a close muzzle a pain to deal with but now find it very helpful when loading, sorting out spear-line routing & the occasional jam. I try to aim along the side of the gun, so the aiming thing is a non-issue for me (although from the forums posts, clearly a lot of people do aim along the top). I expect folk will prefer whatever they are used to - unless it doesn't work for them.
