[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 28533, member: 8947"] Brent, you are right. What I meant was that a concentric crown on the muzzle brake is all that you need. The angle really doesn't matter. Taking a hand drill and hogging out the end of the muzzle brake probably will not lead to the best performance. Everyone reacts differently to noise and recoil. what I know is that reducing both as much as possible will lead to more accurate and consistent shooting. When I said no to muzzle brakes, it was during the hunting situation (still hunting). The noise can really cause damage but taking the recoil of one or two shots is not going to hurt most. Besides anyone hunting beside or near you will appreciate not losing their hearing too. Ask any guide in Africa - no brakes allowed and with those cannons, a brake would really help. For range shooting, that is when I use the brakes. It is ironic that society/governments hate suppressors. They also hate the sound of gun fire. If they let us use the suppressors and permit them like a handgun, we would all be happier. as most know, getting the permit to own and use a handgun in Canada is pretty complicated. Lots of steps and a test, so why not just permit the suppressors in the same way. If there is concern about the use to hurt people, I don't think a piece of paper is going to stop anyone from using a registered firearm to shoot another. It would just be noisier. Jerry [/QUOTE]
