Thread: 30-30 with a Oceania Defence muzzle brake

Hey guys,

I'm just putting together a replacement for my hunting AR which is now handed in. I'm going to go for a Marlin 30-30 dark which is 16" and pre threaded 5/8x24. I'm repurposing a QD Oceania Defence can and a VX-6 1-6 for it.

I already have the Oceania Defence Cyclone flash hider type Muzzle Device but thought for a 30-30 with a short barrel the two port brake might be better for recoil just if I want to shoot it without a suppressor, especially as my nephew may use this gun as well. I'm probably going to work up a load eventually with those Hornady polymer tip pointed projectiles and try to get the max range out of this rig so the bullet could be on the grunty end of the spectrum for a 30-30.

Has anyone used a muzzle brake like the Oceania Defence one on a 30-30 with this barrel length and if so how bad was the noise/concussion coming back?
