[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 126771, member: 8843"] The only way your gonna get the "pull" with the brake like some of the 50BMG's get is with a brake that angles the ports back tword you so the gas is directed to the rear instaed of out to the sides 90 deg from the bore. Some brake makers state that their brake is quieter than others because they angle the ports to the front so the blast is directed away from the shooter somwhat. I persoanly don't think that Nate's desgine would be more effective if the ports were angled the other way , you would end up with the same surface area to catch and redirect the gas. Now if he made the ports the other direction and could make some sort of rear draft to the cut so the blast was angled back tword the shooter it would make a super effective brake but its gonna be loud and the guys at the rage will probably hate you!! I shot a Robar RC-50 a few times that an uncle owns and its brake is desgined like I just described and the recoil on that thing is very light compaired to a few others I've shot and the brake is very slim comaired to others. Another option would be to try and get one of the Brakes that Armalite sells , its supposed to be the most effective one out their for the big 50's But with a gun that weighs in the 20lb range it ain't gonna take much brake to bring the recoil down to the level your looking for.
