muzzle brake
« on: August 10, 2009, 09:29:03 AM »
looking to get a muzzle break installed for my dad, any good gun smiths in the south end you guys recommend? anybody ever do one yourself? i think doing it myself would cost as much if not more to get the tools but I'm not sure where to look for the tools. some help would be appreciated either way thanks guys

LB- I'll try to remember to get Claudes number for you. He's out in the Graham or Mt. Hwy area somewhere. He's the one that installed mine and did an awsome job. Not quite sure on the price yet as I have not received my invoice from the buddy that picked my gun up.

JBar, did he just drill the barrel or did he add the break, I can't see where the break starts and the barrel ends.

I wish I could tell you Phool, I'm not a rifle guy so I'm not sure what he did. All I know is it turned out better than I was expecting. I was told it was able to unscrew if that helps. If you look close you can barely see the line where the two meet. If I knew how to draw on the pic's like you guys do I would put an arrow on it.

Phool, take a look at the barrel right before the shadow starts and you can see a faint line where the brake is connected.

JBAR,

What caliber, and how long is the barrel with the brake?  Was it a custom gun?  I have never seen a brake that clean and contoured with the barrel.  Looks great though.

I wonder if he drilled the holes  between the rifling?

okay I went full screen with the pic and can now see it, great job for sure. The only thing I would have done is got a break without the holes on the bottom to blast dirt.

300 win mag. and the barrel is about 25" with the brake, it wasn't a custom gun just a stock gun with a few improvments.
Phool you are confusing me, am I actually supposed to get the gun near dirt?? :chuckle: I know what you mean but I did not specify when I dropped it off just gave him free reign to do what he does best. I did see guys mention the dirt thing when I was looking for advice.

 I only brought that up because of all the talk about it in other threads, I have a couple guns I want done and they guys really got me thinking about safety and I have to agree with them. It still looks great :tup:
