[QUOTE="pricedo, post: 453131, member: 25770"] The muzzle brake is a useless noisemaker and since it is vented it contributes nothing ballistically to the effectiveness of the firearm. It is an extra 2" of barrel length & weight to drag through the tag alders. Removal also results in less barrel for the bedding to support. Also if you dremel off the contact points & rout out the barrel channel to free float the barrel the upward facing vents of the brake will cause the barrel to bottom out forcefully and destructively on the barrel channel with each shot & destroy any glass or pillar bedding. The forward contact point prevented the destructive bottoming out on the barrel channel so in order to remove all contact points and free float the barrel the brake had to come off. [/QUOTE]
