My CCS gun I ordered will have the crosman muzzle brake on it. I was wondering would I see any difference between it and one of the TKO muzzle breaks? Are there any other benefits with the TKO muzzle brake besides maybe cutting down on sound and looks?

If you need a reduction in sound for your shooter the TKO will be your pick. I have the CCS brake and do not hear any sound reduction. The TKO will most likely be longer, heavier, and cost much more but will quiet things down.

I like the brake from CCS for looks and to have a front site, thats all.

Yep I like the one from CCS for looks also and like you said you have a front site also. As for noise that's not a problem since I live in the sticks no one to bother around here....

Most muzzle brakes on Crosman airguns are for the aesthetics as there is basically no barrel rise/flip when the gun is fired and that's the original design intention of muzzle brakes, to control barrel rise.

Therefore, the CCS pieces are pretty nice and add a 'kool' look to our guns.  Plus they offer that built in front sight and that is a good thing.

Arkmaker, as well as a few others, have made some first class muzzle brakes.  I have a couple of his pieces and am proud to show them off.

Those piecces from TKO are really excellent LDCs although there are some who claim that for what they do they cost too much.  Just shows to go you that 'to each his own'.

Two other things that the Crosman muzzle brake does that hasn't been mentioned:
1 - It adds a little weight forward to help steady the movement while aiming, and 2 - protects the crown from damage.

I don't have any experience with the Crosman brake but the TKO is excellent.  Makes backyard shooting a reality for me.
