Plus the amount of force can exceed 1,000 pounds!

The bottom line is to deal in absolute fundamentals, measure them, and remove all the assumptions. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. In addition to reducing the felt recoil by over 45%, the primary advantage of our muzzle brake is the reduction in muzzle rise. June 24, 2015 I also collected other information about each model (including price, whether it requires gunsmithing, what calibers it is available in, etc.) FEATURES; COMPARISON; SPECIFICATIONS; AVAILABLE COLORS; VIDEOS ; FEATURES; Ultra-solid Stainless 416. I might just not be a good enough shooter to notice it. I actually think this 3-part series m... Cal: Great question, Joe. Perfect timing. I used a locking nut for the ones that needed it, not a shim kit. Also, since it is made of stainless steel, it can combat extreme heat that might emanate from shooting. I tested 20+ muzzle brakes in many ways, including: Then I took a lot of high-resolution photos and videos of each brake. I assume this is the one you’re referring to: http://www.vuurwapenblog.com/uncategorized/ar-15-muzzle-device-comparison/? TT. I just can’t test them all, since I do this all in my spare time. Hey, Alex. I am not knowledgeable on this subject, but i have some doubts about ground signature. I couldn’t get other sizes for these tests. Most of the brakes in this test don’t have significant ground signature, but at least one of them does … which is apparent in the high-speed photos. You may also be interested in the AR-15 Drop-In Trigger Roundup here. I also talked him into bringing down his really expensive sound meter setup with him, and that is how I was able to measure the noise level on all these muzzle brakes. GO TO PRB Muzzle Brake Test SUMMARY » Recoil Reduction Cal created a system to directly measure the entire recoil force signature of each muzzle brake using high-speed sensors. But it’s an interesting idea! Well, Heath, I couldn't disagree more. Thanks for sharing, Greg. They may be great, I just don’t have any experience with them. It included several objective tests to quantify the performance of 20+ muzzle brakes designed for precision rifles in 6mm through 30 caliber. Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this content, data, or other materials is strictly prohibited without prior express and written permission from the author. Great work, and keep it coming!! I originally didn’t plan to include this brake, but a friend handed me theirs one day. Bryan was talking about rifle sights/optics in the quote above, but it articulates my fundamental philosophy.

This provides a more accurate indicator of the actual sound levels firearms operators will encounter while shooting. MDT Muzzle Brakes for bolt action rifles. The recommendation might vary based on your specific application, but personally I find myself using the JEC and APA Little B* most often for a cartridge that size. This is one method of quantifying rearwards recoil energy. . Is there any evidence that the improved harmonics of the rifle by adding a muzzle break have a positive impact on precision if you take the shooter out of the equation? I’m glad you like my style. Thanks, Adith. I committed to creating a system using high-resolution sensors capable of recording hundreds of data points in a single shot … and I pulled it off. The function of the muzzle brake is to redirect the propellant gases released when the bullet is fired. That’s a great idea. The moving parts might affect how reliable or durable the brake is, because there can be significant carbon build-up on a muzzle device.
