![]() This tends to prolong the life of the suppressor. This is not the same as a sound baffle, which decreases the sound signature of the firearm, but rather that the brake takes the brunt of the muzzle blast and fired gasses as opposed to the baffles in the suppressor itself. Some muzzle brakes, when used in conjunction with a suppressor, can act as a sacrificial blast baffle. Secondary benefits of muzzle brakes are byproducts of this as the reduction in felt recoil can aid the shooter with regard to accuracy and allow for faster follow up shots. Although construction varies, the primary identifying characteristic is a series of cuts that direct the burning gasses and muzzle blast of a fired round away from the shooter and most often toward the side or 180 degrees from the muzzle itself.Īs most of the felt recoil from a firearm originates at the muzzle, this effort is primarily done to reduce recoil. We’ll go over the nitty-gritty of muzzle brakes and compensators, but if you’re looking for a quick reference, take a look at this chart for the two major differences between the two: MUZZLE BRAKEĪ muzzle brake is a device which threads onto the end of a firearm’s barrel. Some come equipped with thread protectors and many come with a muzzle device.Īlthough the included muzzle device is typically a flash suppressor, some jurisdictions cling to antiquated and ill-informed laws that regard these devices as an “evil feature,” whereas a muzzle brake or compensator is perfectly legal. This has recently extended to bolt-action and lever-action rifles more commonly found in the hunting as opposed to the tactical arena. One of the guys from the AMU was here when I did it.Most rifle barrels in the past several years have come threaded from the factory so the shooter can add a muzzle device such as a muzzle brake or a compensator. I actually did snap off some 5/8 x 24 threads. Use some heat or let it soak in hot soapy water. HarveyNo need for special adhesives for a permanent hold, just put some medium lapping compound on the threads and screw on your piece.

If you are strong enough to break the threaded portion off your barrel with your hands then you a either 1) really fat and are putting all your weight on it, or 2) stronger then a silver back gorilla, and I suggest you enter in some strongman comps! So you want to use something that will snap off your threads if you need to remove it? Had the barrel in a large vise and was using a 4' breaker bar with all the ass Jered could muster, which is quite a bit of ass. Trust me on this as I have witnessed the entire threaded portion of muzzle being snapped off trying to get it off. Originally Posted By: dmg308Originally Posted By: B. Marky, YOU installed mine, if it ever has to come off YOU get to do it. ![]() I've removed a lot of them with nothing more than a wrench, good vice and the occasional curse word. If installed properly, a brake with Rocksett will come back off. I've actually seen quite a few like that. I've seen some mounts on so tight that the flats were stripped before the mount would budge and then the mount had to be cut off the barrel. Ī lot of people will install brakes & flash suppressors with copious amounts of Rocksett and then the way over-torque the mount. I don't know where it gets the reputation it has for high breaking strength. Originally Posted By: BookHoundOriginally Posted By: boomfabI've taken off 10-15 Rocksetted flash hiders.
