[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 637775, member: 12863"] 20 or more years ago I purchased a couple of brakes like pictured in the link from Daryl Holland. It was called the quick discharge. I still have them and they are very good to say the least. In fact they are being sold by big name brand companies out there on the web still. [url=http://www.hollandguns.com/index.html]Holland's Gunsmithing & Shooters Supply[/url] [IMG]http://www.hollandguns.com/brake3.jpg[/IMG] Guess it was about 1998 when I retired from my career and became a machinist, and the shop foreman where I worked is who makes Ross Schulers brake. I know this for a fact because I turned Ross onto my CNC machinist friend. Couple years ago or so or about the time Jim came out with the muscle brake I got a call from my machinist friend in Idaho as he was having problems with some brake ideas and was seeking information. This brake design pictured was in his shop. The way he was describing it I asked him if it was called ?? and it was.

This was the 2nd or 3rd patent infringement Legal Action for this company. As Jim indicated, others of us have had the peening problems mention in the bore channel of the brakes.
