[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2211957, member: 91783"] A few years back a friend of mine ask me if I could make muzzle brakes . I told him I could but I hadn't made any for any one but myself . He had bought a carbon fiber wrapped barreled rifle to keep the weight down and liked the grouping he was getting but not the recoil . I told him I would make an exception for him and build one that was ported on top and the sides but not the bottom so he could lay prone and not get a face full of debris when shooting . The barrel was already threaded so I took an old barrel I had taken off of another rifle when it stopped grouping to start with . I reamed it and put internal threads in it screwed it on to the barrel marked for it timing ,cut it to length then bored it out for bullet clearance turned the diameter and set it up to bore the holes in the top and sides at the desired angles for the ports all in all it took me the better part of the morning to make this brake . I even took it out and put a few rounds down range with it . It slowed the muzzle raise and tamed the recoil some what . He used it till the barrel stopped grouping then when he put a new barrel on he shimmed it to time it to his new barrel guess he liked it also as much as I did when I tried it for him . He said that it didn't change the grouping any for him as some brakes had . I don't know for sure but I think I do things like this for the challenge more then any thing else because I seldom charge anything for doing any of it . [/QUOTE]
