WoW!
Please post up on how a alluminum muzzle deviece holds up under sustained use. Really interested and me and a friend of mine have been going back and forth if it is even possible but then what the beep do I know about metals???

Yeah, that was my biggest question too.
Hope to get out this weekend and test it till it breaks.
It will last for a while but eventually be eaten away by the high temperature plasma. I have made a number of test brakes using aluminum because it is cheaper and easier to machine. At this point I seem more adept at producing flash enhancers than flash suppressors.

Nice work!
FYI, anodizing the aluminum is supposed to help prevent premature erosion.
BTW, I notice that you have holes cut on the bottom of the smaller muzzlebrake.
This allows for the gases to direct downwards and kick up a dust signature when shooting from the prone position.
If the holes are just at the sides and on the top of the brake, they don't kick up dust and can actually help keep muzzle rise down.

Aluminium, is alot easier to machine, these where done on a manual lathe and mill. way to kill my ideas and fun
(jk)Thank you,
I was going to anodize them (as soon as Frank gets me my SHG)
Did not even think about the dust kicking up. Thanks for the heads up. (maybe late night machining is not such a good idea)
More to come soon

I'm glad if I was able to offer any useful advice!
I'm very impressed with your abilities, I wish I had the same skills and access to some machining equipment.
I look forward to seeing your next creations!

If you wanna anno them, I know a guy that does all kinds of funky anno in Langley / Abbotsford
Right on Tim! I'm a fabricator not a Mechanist but I can still say that it looks good. Nothing makes you feel good about your self then building sweet #### and showing it off!!! Well that's what I like doing with my bobber and prerunner hahaha. Nice work tho.
. But if you wanna use a light weight steel that's stronger then mild steel and lighter then mild steel. Try 4130 cromoly it's also rust resistant. I used it for roll cages in drag cars when I worked as a real fabricator.
Now I just repair farm equipment no money in hot rods
