Muzzle brakes are an item that draws a lot of attention to your firearm. You can choose whatever you would like. Shown below are a few of the designs we have tried. We are typically trying to give you a reduction in recoil but also trying to control the muzzle jump so you can get back on target.
We have another idea to try for a brake so hopefully we can give it a try and get some pictures posted here as well.
The muzzle break shown here is a Vias micro brake. The brake is threaded onto the end of the barrel. We turned it to the same diameter as the barrel and polished it as a single unit. Turned out beautiful. It is dirty in the picture below to help show all of the ports and the nice fit.
We can do a lot of different things to incorporate a muzzle brake. Below we used a little tool to bore out the inside of the very end of the muzzle to create the expansion chamber, then milled in a couple of holes that you can see (if you look close) to vent the chamber to reduce recoil and muzzle jump.
Another idea we tried for a brake. Here the muzzle is bored out to create the expansion chamber and vents were cut into the sides of this chamber. A plug with multiple ports is threaded into the end of the muzzle. The brass ring adds a nice appearance. The protection of the muzzle crown is a great feature of all the brakes shown.
This brake is similar to the brake shown above. The barrel is counter bored and a threaded plug is installed. Here we used a piece of hard brass for a different look and multiple holes at opposing angles to control the muzzle jump.
Here is another idea, two horizontal slots on the sides along with ports on the top of the muzzle. Works well, has a nice appearance and the muzle crown is well protected.
The brake below was used on a 7mm Dakota and worked great.
This brake was used on a 416 Taylor.
