[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1398645, member: 2736"] My question is, Why install a muzzle brake with backwards angled ports and then install a deflector that defeats the purpose of the angled ports. There are plenty of straight ported brake that don't cause this problem. As long as the ports are not facing any other way than 90o to the bore they will not change the thrust vectoring. some brakes have forward facing ports and my test have shone a reduction in efficiency over the straight ports and unequal loading on the barrel the rear facing ports have the same effect also. There are even brakes that have straight ports in back and slightly angled ports forward for the purpose of adding a gas barrier that deflects the gas from the rearward facing ports. When we tested this design it appeared to be the best at reducing recoil and minimizing the blast effects to bystanders. There is a lot of science to a well designed muzzle brake that can defiantly make a difference in the total performance. A good brake is a lot more than just a piece of steel with some holes drilled in it. I would recommended looking for a brake design that incorporates the features of straight ports or at least the ones that have them in the back(Next to the muzzle). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
