[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1230638, member: 33822"] Good feedback. Opening the bore on the first baffle is an interesting idea, I kind of like that. I also agree that could mean that it's not an ideal design to begin with, but nothing wrong with trying some new tricks to make things better. As far as I know, brake designs evolve by trial and error, I have yet to see a brake designed with analytical tools like high pressure flow computer modeling. So tweaking an existing brake like opening the bore on the first baffle or drilling a hole on the top to reduce muzzle jump is just evolving a design that certainly did not start out optimized. Wedgy, I have seen that comparison but do not personally have much experience with lots of different brakes. One brake I don't know if I have ever seen in a comparison is the Assassin brake. I have always wanted to build a rifle with one of those brakes and for some reason think they'll outperform just about any brake out there. I could be wrong but it seems like more testing went into that design than any other, so it would be the most evolved. i really have no real basis for that, just a hunch based from reading about it on this forum over the years.
