[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2514089, member: 116439"] I did not see any information on manufacturing a "Muzzle Brake" and it being "Illegal" to make. Sig had an issue with one of their Brakes a few years ago because it was thought to be part of a Sound Suppressor system. Firearms Manufacturing relates to Receivers/Frames. There are a few States that have issues with "Flash Suppressor" and Muzzle Brakes in that category.

You want the gasses behind the bullet to have equal distribution after leaving the barrel. If you are good machinist and have a good Mill/Lathe you can do it. Most are done on a CNC. A lot of the Brakes out there today are from someone having a good idea and putting it to steel. Innovation is always making our sport better. [/QUOTE]
