VERY DISAPPOINTED
Highly disappointed!! The muzzle brake I recieved had large amounts of rust on one side, enough that the bag it came in was stained orange. Also there are some scratches. Much like one of the other reviews on this brake mine is also a 2 piece design, both pieces have alignment marks and they are not properly aligned. My biggest issue is the large amount of rust, like it sat in water. Will exchange this one and see how the second one looks.
Disappointing
Unlike the Good Iron Muzzle Break for the M1 Garand this is a two piece unit that is not clear from the description, or pictures, on the web site. The unit I received had already begun to rust at the point where the rear mount and the break connect. The finish was scratched, dented, and overall the finish was poor. Perhaps worse than the rust and the finish was that the rear mount and the break were not properly aligned. I didn't break out the protractor to figure out exactly how far, but looking at it from the rear, the break was rotated clockwise 1 to 2 degrees. The interesting thing is that there are alignment marks on both pieces that were apparently not used during assembly. I may have been able to correct the alignment; but with the rust and the poor finish, including burrs and incomplete machining of several of the ports, I returned it.
