Title: Muzzle brake ID?
Post by: jackelope on January 12, 2015, 02:05:58 PM: Anyone know who the manufacturer of this brake might be? It was on my rifle when I bought it 2nd hand. I replaced it with a Defensive Edge brake. It's a .30 cal hole for reference.

Post by: Bob33 on January 12, 2015, 03:01:22 PM: It looks identical to some BOSS brakes I've seen on Winchester and Browning rifles.

Post by: Buckmark on January 12, 2015, 03:12:06 PM: Not a BOSS brake, wrong crown and missing pieces, looks alot like shrewd mentioned.. :twocents:
Title: Re: Muzzle brake ID?
Post by: BULLBLASTER on January 12, 2015, 03:14:25 PM: My first thought is shrewd also. But i think there are lots of similar radial brakes around. Not too sure.

Post by: actionshooter on January 12, 2015, 08:36:11 PM: It looks just like an older KDF break.

Josh, you might be thinking about Vais brakes with holes in crown
Title: Re: Muzzle brake ID?
Post by: Biggerhammer on January 12, 2015, 08:49:00 PM: Looks like your basic Magna-Port mizzle brake. Which has been copied by many since.
Title: Re: Muzzle brake ID?
Post by: Jamieb on January 13, 2015, 08:39:18 PM: That design has been copied by a lot of gun smiths.

This one was built and installed by Dave down at Harbor Guns by Aberdeen.

Post by: mountainman on January 13, 2015, 10:21:55 PM: Close..yes many copies out there. KDF is close. Vias has the longitudal ports,. Pallazo possibly.

Pallazzo brakes are ported in the crown too.

Post by: mountainman on January 14, 2015, 02:15:21 PM: Definetly not a Magna brake
Title: Re: Muzzle brake ID?
Post by: deadlift on February 12, 2015, 04:43:26 PM: +1 on the KDF style, anyone with a bridgeport and manual/semi-automatic indexer can pound those out. They work great but are hell on the ears and blow crap everywhere when prone.

Title: Re: Muzzle brake ID?
Post by: mountainman on February 13, 2015, 01:47:51 PM: Not sure if KDF has a crown angle?
Title: Re: Muzzle brake ID?
Post by: Biggerhammer on February 13, 2015, 09:26:31 PM: It could be anyone's brake, it's been knocked off by every clown on E-Bay and every guy with a milling machine in his shop for a loooong time and peddled by every corner gun shop.
