Radial brake question

[weasel1]

** Caution, newb question! **

Recently picked up one of your radial brakes (Black Friday sale). First, I'm not losing my mind and this is stainless? Has to be. Cold bluing won't take, but it's magnetic. Has to be stainless...

Second, is installation. I'm pretty sure I don't really need to index it, but for aesthetics I will. Can I reuse the existing crush washer I have from the recently removed flash hider (I can almost get it to line up nicely) or would shims be preferred?

One more thing... My compliments to the machinist. It's really pretty and I hope I can put it to use soon!

Yes correct, it is Stainless!
And you are right, no indexing for this brake! Yes you could use a crush washer if you prefer to line it up how you want it!

And thanks

I have never seen a radial brake from MDT. Is this something new coming out? Don't see it listed on the site

It was a one-time thing. The radial muzzle brakes are great for hunting, and casual shooting. But not for long range precision shooting, so we decided to sell them out and not remake.

Awesome! Thank you very much!!

But not for long range precision shooting,

Can you please clarify?
I tried it on my Sig Sauer, and still have 0.2-0.5MOA but less recoil.

Yes that makes sense. It's a good brake. But in prone position it will blow up the dust and dirt.

But in prone position it will blow up the dust and dirt.

And the lid from a plastic container bin on the ground under the brake has resolved that issue for me.

Now my .300 WM has a much softer recoil than a .223!

Glad to hear! That is pretty awesome
