[QUOTE="Stephens300, post: 627855, member: 32598"] It is prettier than it was before. It is stainless and the barrel is stainless. Not sure how the barrel is blacked but it has lots of scratches on it. When I had it put on, I told the smith I wanted it to match the barrel. He painted it with the ports closed. That made it extremely hard to open and close due to the precision of the machining between the inner and out parts. So I soaked it in Hoppes. Took the paint right off the break. The whole thing needs some beautification but that has never been high on my priority list. I am more interested in it shooting well. I would love to just throw $1500 at it and get it accurized with a new match barrel. Unfortunately, money doesn't grow on trees. As for effectiveness. Between that and a Limbsaver, you really only feel 220s. Could shoot dozens of 165s at 3200fps without it hurting. The concussion is probably most of what you feel. BTW, the best thing I ever did for the rifle was pull the factory HARD rubber buttpad off and replace it with a limbsaver. Even with the muzzle break, I did not look forward to shooting it. Now I do.
