The T2 has 13 thread options & the T3 has 15

There are 10 self-timing models

I nearly always have all brakes & thread options in stock

This is by far the biggest range of muzzle brake in the world, all made here in little old NZ

@Kiwi Greg Have you compared your brakes to any of the newer US made brakes?
I used to see yours come up in comparisons a few years ago but haven’t seen them for a while.

I saw someone claim one of your brakes was almost as good as the TMB brakes (which appear to be considered the best) but it was just a quick comment on a US forum.

Still doing comparisons from time to time, haven't tested a TMB, its a very specific brake for big heavy PRS rifles that barely recoil anyway, also none in stock on their website

The easiest way to get better performance is more angle, the TMB has heaps more than most others, this comes at a cost of more blast, the major disadvantage of any brake

The internet is an interesting place

Yeah back blast is horrible.
I had one of your TT brakes that while effective, I didn't enjoy shooting with it.
That along with scarring my neighbors cows (echoed very badly where I shoot) made me move back to a suppressor.

I do primarily shoot competition and consider going back to a brake. I was considering a TMB but if your brakes are almost as good I'd just get another TT.

Best is in the eyes of the beholder I would think. My understanding is that any steeper than something like Gregs and you risk injury from debris. And the shooter experiences something like twice as much noise from a steeply angled brake to a radial brake.

The worst brake I've ever experienced was a fabricated thing made from some super trick alloy in the upper stainless ranges (that's in cost of material rather than grade number). It was a big bastard, and bloody near sent the rifle downrange like a rocket motor. I don't recall the caliber apart from Fu*k Me. It was the most effective firing line sweeper I've encountered that isn't military owned, it cleaned the place of spent brass, stones, paperwork, observers... It was the third time I'd experienced a brake, the first time being at the old Auckland NZDA range which had a pumice firing point. They parked me next to a guy with a Browning BOSS radial thing on his rifle. To this day I still do not like brakes. But they have a place I suppose.
