[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1067059, member: 70559"] I make brakes to play with and test. I made one the other day that vibrated so bad the brake came loose. I tightened and fired it again and it came loose again. The rifle vibrated against my face like an advance martial arts guy striking with a bamboo cane. They abruptly stop a couple inches from the target and the cane beats the tar out of the subject with three or four whacks. This last one was for an accuracy test. My gunsmith told me if you leave too much at the muzzle end, you loose accuracy. I left about 3/4" of metal on the end. It didn't vibrate as bad as the other but did vibrate. I cut another slot in it to see what would happen. Adding the forth slot cut the vibration in half or maybe even more more. So much for verifying the 'smiths theory. I will make one with holes all the way around for the accuracy test. [/QUOTE]
