Title: Muzzle brake
Post by: nwhunter on April 02, 2016, 07:46:02 AM: Curious what an approx cost is to have a muzzlebrake installed by a gunsmith on a rifle. Considering putting one on my Browning 300 Winmag stainless and have no clue if its a hundred bucks (joke) or a grand. I think it would make my gun more enjoyable to shoot tho. Tks

The install was performed at Car Arms in Tukwila. Super good dude who will treat you right. Good luck

Post by: yorketransport on April 03, 2016, 09:06:29 AM: It will depend a little on the style of brake you use. A radial like a Vias is an easy install and shouldn't cost more than $150 including a brake. The side discharge brakes will be a little more because there's more work required to get it lined up right (timed).

This is why I took the factory one off my mountain ascent. Too loud for hunting and I don't wear ear plugs out in the woods. It looked really cool though lol
