Thread: Muzzle Brake Testing

Where can you get these breaks from? I usually send my guns to Gunworks for smithing, will they have them in stock do you think or would I have to buy one then send it to them to fit?

You can get them directly from me if you like.

Robbie doesn't carry them in stock.

It would be an interesting comparison to look at the sound/blast pressure from the shooters vs. recoil reduction. I understand Cal will be reviewing that compromise later in his blog. Having used a number of brakes including TRG I have found that rear angled can be highly effective but have a price to pay in blast, as can some very open designs such as the TRG.

Outright recoil reduction is only one factor when considering the effects on the shooter, flinching can just as easily be induced through the anticipation of the concussion effect of the blast, particularly on ranges, especially if they are use a concrete table with a roof.

I expect each user needs to find his or her personal comfort zone when considering those 2 factors and this type of empirical analysis helps educate and inform that choice. The missing factor from my own perspective is the blast effect as due to my personal comfort zone.

Thank you to both of you for the transparent and useful testing published, helping to put the science behind the 'feel'

I had to laugh at the APA testing on Utube - no wonder they offered to fund Cals rig, you have to wonder how they designed their brakes with out one?
