I have the same gun. I have a brake on it for the sole purpose of attaching my suppressor. If I am not shooting the suppressor, I remove the brake. It is way louder with the brake than without it.
The thing about having a threaded barrel; for a hundred bucks or so the op can install a self timing brake like a little bastard, or hellfire, and if he doesn’t like it he can unscrew it and be done with it.
They definitely make the gun seem louder to the shooter, and bystanders, but like anything else they have their place. Personally I find great enjoyment in tinkering with a gun and don’t blame the guy for wanting to try something different.
They are louder to the shooter, but WAAAY louder to anyone to the side of the shooter. Hate the damn things.
People to the side of the shooter would be considered a bystander.
Bystanders get blast and noise a helluva lot worse than the shooter.
screw brakes.....................if our lawmakers had any damn sense, suppressors would be available "over the counter" at any retail store that sells hunting equipment. Hell, in some places they're not just allowed, they're required, like cars are required to have mufflers.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Ha, hard pass. I'm way too pretty to go to prison.

Generally, yes, brakes suck....However, there are some forward vent designs with no side porting that mitigate some recoil and don’t redirect any more noise/blast back at the shooter. Conversely, most of these are heavy, and can change tune, even on a heavy barrel. For my few hunting ARs and other stuff that a brake is run on, I have access to some custom made, Titanium, forward vent brakes that weigh next to nothing and don’t increase blast/noise in any situation. They have had zero detrimental effects on accuracy, that I could tell. Something like that might be your huckleberry, but they’re not cheap....due to the titanium, but they’re cheaper than the big name versions online. $100-125 vs $200. 5/8x24 (26/27/30) and 1/2x28 (223).

It can be done legally you know lol
Not without jumping through lengthy expensive hoops.
Nice rifle minus the brake lol. As someone who has hearing damage you will absolutely regret not protecting your ears. Mines due to working in and around heavy manufacturing during my consulting days. (Steel Mills and Paper Mills). I’m slowly doing away with anything that doesn’t have a removable brake.

It isn’t expensive. Lengthy, yes. Expensive no.
Your definition of expensive and mine are obviously different.
$200 for the stamp, for each suppressor. Then, from what I can tell you have to be willing to spend at least $500-600 for a decent suppressor, and that's on the low end. Just the $200 stamp is enough to price a lot of folks out of them when they're struggling to afford a $500ish entry-level deer rifle, but you're really investing $700-800 for each one.
I got to believe if they were deregulated, the prices would drop significantly.

Truth. Government regulation only serves to drive costs up.
It drops everything I shoot at, so don't worry about hearing damage.
The day will come when this statement haunts you.
Maybe.
Find the muzzle break.
Find the dead elk 600 yards away. I pulled the trigger once. It flopped.
Ticka That is one hell of a beautiful picture!
MT is an amazing place.
I might shoot my rifle outside of a range 5-6 times per year. I may or may not have hearing protection on when that happens. At the range, I've always got it on.
But I will shoot hundreds of 12 GA loads during hunting season. That's where my hearing loss will come from, not my rifle.
