[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 230858, member: 1522"] I had a badger brake put on my AR-15 to help eliminate muzzle jump. I felt the brake was totally ineffective as it really did nothing. I measured the diameter of the brake opening and it was .440 for my .223. I questioned the gunsmith who installed the brake and he said the larger diameter wouldn’t change anything in the amount of gases that would be vented off. I’ve been told by others well known smiths he’s correct and I’ve also been told it would make the brake ineffective. I do know when I changed the brake and I believe I’m 20 thou over, it made a huge improvement in reducing the muzzle jump. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
