Killer Innovations had one quick UTube Video and info on their FaceBook page. Well we all know in the shooting world most often than not, you get what you pay for but I liked the looks of the KI brake and at 49.95, half the cost of the Titan I was a bit skeptical until I got the brake in hand. I wasn't the least bit disappointed, this brake is machined and finished extremely well.
It has 90 degree side discharge with the bottom being closed, the Bottom of the ports being angled up to direct muzzle blast up away from the shooter and not throw dirt and what not from the prone off a bipod.
The two top ports are machined at a angle, which is the same angle in line with the opposite bipod leg. It is one tough looking brake. I really like the counter sunk face and the fluted bottom, I've used allot of brakes and some thought and engineering went into this brake. They must have some serious equipment to produce these. :tup:

I just picked up a new one as well http://precisionarmament.com/product/m41-muzzle-brake/ (http://precisionarmament.com/product/m41-muzzle-brake/) this one is going on the newest build that is in the works. They make a 6.5 as well so if it works out well I will put one on my Grendel. If not I might look to this one you are using. I like the look's of it.

Is that one open on the bottom? It looks as if it is?

I was actually thinking of opening one up for .338 and seeing how it did on the .338 Edge as compared to my 4 port Muscle braked. Just for the heck of it. The muscle brake is good but it's straight out the side and I still deal with a little muzzle flip. With the KI brake it's angled upwards and I may be able to keep a better sight picture through recoil. Won't know unless I try.
It will work on a big 338 but we really designed it for the .308 family and smaller.

site says .251 or .325 bore diameter how is it going to work with .338 or were you saying the design would work if it was opened up?

That was my thought, the .338 stuff. They currently only do them for .223/5.56 & .308.

The brake can be opened up with a piloted reamer.

Do you know what the % reduction is for that brake (braked vs unbraked recoil)?
snowpack, that's a tough question to answer as every rifle is different and the methodology for measuring felt recoil can be primitive.
I can say the brake allows the shooter to see his/her own hits and has significantly reduced recoil. The real treat is that the muzzle blast felt by the shooter and spotter is very small compared to other brakes.

We used home made blanks for additional flash.

I have known the owners for almost a decade and they are very good friends.
I would ream to .290
The shop number is on the website and they can take orders over the phone

What diameter does.it taper down to? I bought one of the originals but decided to go with a new smaller tapered barrel for my build so I probably won't use the one I bought.
From .980 down to .860

Pm me.
If the old one hasn't been used i'll trade it out.

A few of you were going to run them on 6.5's how did that work out? Did you all buy the 308 version? How did it work? :bfg:
I have a 5/8-24 threaded 6.5 and am looking for a muzzle brake, heard great things about these. How is the muzzle blast for bystanders?

Similar to Lamrith's question, do you use a .308 verson for a .260?
How standard are barrel threads? I have a stainless -06 that I had a brake put on in the 80's but was never very impressed with it and might be interested in swapping it out.

You can use the .308 on a .260 or you can ream a .223 brake to .284
Most common barrel threads are 1/2-28, 5/8-24 and some 9/16-24. It really depends on the diameter of the barrel at the muzzle.
