So here i go what is the feeling on using a clamp or bolt on muzzle brake on an nonthreaded barrel?

Been running a Witts Machine on my 30.06 for several years. Ugly - Mwh. Functional - Yup. Afraid it would blow off - Yup. Did it? - Nope... Several years later. Still functional...
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. If you are not reloading. I would probably avoid it just because it really changed the harmonics of my barrel.

Witt is the way to go, have 3 and no problems

If it works for you and is safe, our opinions amount to a hill of sand.

Never knew something like it existed, would save the threading fee, going to check it out.

I'm with Jim. Well they have them with setscrews to hold on to the end of your barrel. Just go for it and weld it on.

Wow thanks guys i was kind of sure someone would be very disturbed by the idea of bolting anything to a rifle barrel. I just dont want to change the original action or barrel on my dads old 308 mind you ive changed everything attached to it

I put 1 on my 300 Wby 2 years ago no issues and works great. It was the only option I had as my barrel was so thin. My gun grouped better and recoiled like a 22-250 whats not to like.

Nice thanks is yours a witt ? Thats the one im hearing most . Im thinking about putting one on my 308 not that it kicks bad but its the kind of rifle that you can sit and put 300 rounds through in a dayand weight isnt an issue as its already a tank.

I have this conundrum and haven't pushed myself over the edge. I have my dads 300 WM. Kicks the hell out of me. I did by a slipcover recoil pad, will see how it goes.

If it doesn't help, may have to break down on the muzzle break. Sentimental value keeps me from doing it, but dad would prefer me enjoy shooting it than collect dust.

I would recommend the witt machineing ones they seem to have a pretty happy customer group.i researched them a bit last year and they seem to do what you would want

A friend of mine attached a Witt on his 300 RUM and is very satisfied with it.
