Most popular brake we install
This brand of brake is not the most efficient. But it works, is not expensive, looks good on a hunting rifle, not bulky, and comes in many diameters to match any barrel. We have installed many with no complaints and lots of compliments. Our most popular model brake to install.

Excellent brakes!
I can't even count how many of these brakes (all part numbers) on this page I have installed, everything from light sporter 300WSM's down to rimfire calibers. I have NEVER had anyone that wasn't satisfied with the results. Recoil reduction is amazing.The larger O.D numbers can be tapered back to meet the bbl. O.D. for a clean installation. I don't usually write reviews, but these things work. Period. The brake should be indicated in a four jaw chuck and reamed to .020 over bullet diameter, and the barrel shoulder must be turned to a square shoulder and single point threaded. Hearing protection is required with or without the brake. Accuracy is improved because the high pressure gases are stripped away leaving a clean flight of the bullet. You can't beat the price!

Excellent part, excellent price
Gotta' be kidding. I can't build the thing for what it's priced at here. It's an excellent part. Works like a charm.

Great muzzle brake
I use this brake for benchrest shooting. This type of brake reduces felt recoil and the muzzle flip almost all together and looks great with my stainless steel barrel, but is very loud.
