Another video with a lighter rifle

The video sure makes it sound like it is quieter after the snip with the brake. But I assure you, it is still a 300 Win mag going off. I stood 6 feet behind my wife with my ear pro out while she shot it with the shroud on. Would I hesitate to shoot it in a hunting situation with no ear pro? No...

Here’s the full side by side comparison

My wife has videos on her phone that were filmed from the same position. It includes my 300 win mag with the magnum and my 6.5 PRC with the compact. I’ll post the link to that video as soon as it’s edited and up

What I was able to put together yesterday. My wife has all the video of me shooting on her phone and we will be getting it up today. Got a little busy with the kids yesterday and didn’t get it finished. But at least this is something

My scope is mounted pretty low and there was no obstruction of vision. I played with increasing volume of the shroud and it made no noticeable change to recoil. So for the magnum version I just had the shroud filled with a muzzle brake. And I don’t think we could guarantee any flats machined...

UPDATE: I was able to find a new source for material that should cut maching time down substantially and potentially cut costs by about 40% or so. New prices will be posted as soon as I receive the updated costs. I also was able to get my hands on the MAGNUM version over the weekend. My wife...

Unlikely you would have what I’m after for trade. But maybe

Does anyone have the desire to preorder a brake? It would be a few weeks before they are ready for delivery but it would sure help offset my out of pocket cost. It’s looking like the compact will come in at $225 and the magnum at $250. They will be black nitride treated

Yessir. We’re also working on a couple light weight versions as well. One with some aluminum components to keep weight and cost down, one out of either titanium or a mixture of titanium and aluminum. Just depends on what works and what folks want

5/8x24, 3.8” long and 9.5 oz

I spoke with my machinist. I will be putting in an order soon for 25 compact units (the one pictured) and 25 magnum units. The compact has a 4 port brake and is 1.2” OD. The magnum has a larger 5 port brake and is 1.5” OD. They will be nitride black and I’ll post when I have them in hand ready...

I know a lot of people would like to see measurements with precision equipment. I would too. But it’s going to be a while before I can do something like that. In the meantime, I was considering making a short video with my Magneto on the barrel to show speeds and shoot bare muzzle, with a SRS TI...
