[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1075099, member: 2736"] So there is no mistake THIS IS MY OPINION BASED ON LOTS OF INSTALLS AND TEST. There are many muzzle brakes available to us now and price "Does" make a difference. Many brakes are cast and not very precise. Many are machined by hand and not very consistent brake to brake. Many are also threaded using a tap and this causes several problems, Misalignment to the bore and tapered threads (Due to the normal wear of the tap). Lastly; lots of the cheaper brakes are made in china (Lots of the tactical stuff) and quality is out the window. A poor quality brake can cause lots of problems that will cost the owner more money and accuracy than if they had installed a well designed and built brake in the first place. there are at least a dozen high quality, well performing muzzle brakes that are available. I have removed many Of these poor quality and poorly installed brakes that have rendered the rifle useless and recommend that anyone looking to purchase a brake do some research and be aware that cheep is not good in this sport. (Pricy does not automatically make it better, just better odds of getting better quality) also a poorly built brake can cause the Gunsmith to spend more time correcting/truing it driving the price up. So you save nothing buying a cheep/poor quality brake. One more comment; Homemade brakes can be very good ,or very bad so be careful when you buy one that It is installed correctly and well designed. There is a lot more to a good brake than just a bunch of holes or slots in a piece of steel that look good. Again, This is an opinion, as all the post on this site are and it is up to the reader to decide for himself there validity. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
