[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2514096, member: 59036"] I make them. Not hard to do, but don’t plan on saving money unless you make lots of them. You will need pin gauges to line up your barrel and brake stock and starter and bottoming taps. As far as engineering, muzzle brakes are simple physics. You simply have have to release pressure before the bullet leaves the muzzle. I make the holes on top smaller to try to lessen muzzle blast. I don’t make any holes on the bottom to keep from blowing up dust. They work. I have a .338 RUM with a stock light weight barrel and synthetic stock that has an extremely brutal recoil. My home made brake tames the recoil substantially, but don’t forget your ear plugs! [/QUOTE]
