Muzzle Brakes

[colar15nut]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I found a new muzzle brake guy in colorado. He makes aluminum and steel muzzle brakes and I think he can do stainless too but im not sure. I got an aluminum brake fitted for my .308 and it does the job. I only paid 27 bucks for it. He does 4 big ports that face to the outside and it's a great design. His website is http://www.patriotpredatorcontrol.com you have to click on his patriot precision tab and you will see his brakes. He has specs and all that listed and then you can buy them on the site. I emailed him and he called me and is doing a couple of custom brakes for me. I ordered a 10/22 brake but haven't put it on yet. Good luck check him out.

why a brake for a 10/22?
does it move forward after installing a brake? [ROFL2]

[AR15] Just doing it for looks on my kids 10/22. Other than that it doesn't do anything you're right.

His brakes look just like the Hungarian AMD65 brake

Give Barry Grahame's brakes a look. He has been at it a long time and knows his product well. I have seen his work and he does well. One customer had a 300 WinMag brake done and he said it cut the recoil in 1/2.

BTW-those do look like AMD adaptations!

sort of on the same subject, i am a newbie on compensators, but they generally cause a louder noise correct? ive seen some say they can reduce recoil, rise AND noise, is this really possible? if so can anyone explain how? i might give this guy a shout if i can figure it out.

Never seen one reduce noise. I have three different designs on three different rifles and they are all lower recoil and all very loud.

[tmckay2]

so you think compensators reduce recoil enough its well worth it? i just want to make sure its a noticeable difference before i drop the bones on one

A muzzle break will not raise the actual noise level, only the shooter's perception of it.

Depends. A break will reduce recoil quite a bit. If it is a rifle which you will shoot frequently and for long durations, particularly from a prone position, it makes a lot of sense. Also, if you are using something like a .338 for an elk rifle then it might improve your shooting as you will be less likely to flinch if you're not worried about a frieght train slamming into your shoulder.
I just shot a .338 today (my boss' elk gun). To me it felt about like a .270

They may reduce noise downrange because they definitely focus a lot of it rearward.
There is nothing in the world worse than shooting next to someone with a brake at a covered range. Plugs and muffs are needed.

The best muzzle break of them all is a suppressor.

Do you think we'd get anywhere lobbying Congress to drop the silly restrictions on suppressors on the basis that a suppressor is needed to protect our hearing?
Until then I'll have to do without. $400 everytime I want a new suppressor is too steep for my poor butt.

[Irving]

Well it would be $200 for the stamp + the price of the suppressor itself. You'll spend way more a year on ammo and a tax stamp is forever.

And no to the congress thing, not now anyway.

And the average price of a good suppressor is...?

And I have to buy a new tax stamp for every suppressor.

And you are on a special ATF list forever.
