muzzle brakes

Why don't you do it yourself then.
I have test several design and know what work and what not, mostly for my hobbies, but any one could if one really wanted to. It be just hobbies, not feasible as a business!

Eh?

I have no doubts that your MB are effective GunBoy, what lead you to belive that and come back to me that kind of comment?

My suggestion of using a scientific, calibrated measuring tools was take out the "human" factor from it..Felt recoil is a very subjective matter and this could potentially take the "felt" out of it, without putting in question your work.

You misunderstood what I mean, don't mean to disrespect you in anyway, if I did, my apology!
There is many testing done, but they won't share any info on which is more effective than the other, I you wanted to know? You just going to have to do it yourself!
 
Thank you for the complement, let me know if I can help you, anyway I had a change to try out one of a clone for 308, this one work exceptionally great, i can spot the round exiting the muzzle brake, hit target at 100meter. This dame this is effective!
I say the recoil is less than a 223light barrel!

Hmmmm wonder how that would work on a 300wm?
 
I really like what you have done and all of the different designs. I have shot many different rifles with different muzzle brakes. The one thing that I have found in common between these brakes and with regards to really efficient muzzle brakes - the first vent port closest to the barrel is significantly larger than the other ports which is typically 3 in most cases. My opinion regarding the first port being larger is because it is the first location of expansion for the highly compressed gas. The larger the port the more room for this high pressure gas to expand and vent against the port surfaces faster and with more efficiency. The second and third ports are there to vent as well but the pressure drop and efficiency really comes from the first one. I have also seen in high efficiency brakes with regards to the angle of the ports that the port angles were anywhere between 80 and 90 degrees to the bore. That is looking from the top of the rifle and brake to the floor. From a side view of the rifle and brake the angles were from 0 to 10 degrees above the center line of the bore.

If I were to send a rough hand drawn sketch of a brake design that I would like to try on my 50, would you cut it for me? It would be very similar to the largest and tallest brake as seen in your photo in post #78 but with the first port being as large as combining the 2 ports found in your design and with less taper to your barrel side of the porting. SS or Alum for material would be my preference. Please pm with a rough estimate and a how soon.

Thank you
 
Nice work.

If your bored one day you should do a video of how you machine a brake. It is always interesting for me to actually see what equipment is used and how it is setup. As long as you arent worried about giving away any secrets that is.

If there is much interest in making muzzle brake or flash hider, I would not mind at all sharing the info.

Pretty sure he uses a hand file, drill press and a Dremel..:D
 
NEAR Manufacturing in Alberta

I replaced the factory brake on a Rem 700 338LM (right) with one from NEAR...un-real difference. Can shoot all day, no worries. Good Ears are a must, recoil reduction is very noticeable,,,this light rifle is now a treat to shoot..
