saddler Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) After some prompting I have managed to persuade a local mate to make up a few muzzle brakes. These were to have been done by now but he's had a couple of trips away & also attended the Phoenix, so his time has been limited. PICS BELOW show a couple of prototypes, "in the white". They can come in this finish, but we're also looking into black spray paint & anodising as options; just depends how popular they prove to be. The sizes available will be 21mm od & 19mm od. 1/2"UNF as standard. (1/2"x20) Ports can be in any arrangement of your choice, but to start with the ones below will be the first batch made. These have a large dia port at 90-deg to bore, with a couple of smaller ports on the top...hopefully the pics will show the ports ok. Depending on your thread you may have to add shims to get the brake to index, or possibly skim the rear face of the brake. Let me know if you are interested (post your name below, with qty req'd) & I'll then make up a list of buyers and pass his details to you for bank transfer, etc. £25, posted Edited May 31, 2014 by saddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddler Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 My .22 has a 15 x 1 thread ;-) I can ask him about other threads. It may just be down to his supply of available taps (or what a tap will cost) Will post updates when I have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tasum Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Hi I'm interested in the one for my ruger with a volq barrel which is 1/2 x 20 UNF, is that what these are? If so, I don't mind one in "white", but would prefer black if possible, 21 od. thanks Edited May 30, 2014 by tasum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Very nice, but I have to ask; why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 What is the effect of them? / What do they actually do? They change the barrel harmonics, they effect recoil/muzzle jump of the gun they're fitted to, they act as a thread protector- plus they look good... Not really an item for field use, more an accessory for target shooters. The bloke that makes them shoots on the Scottish Gallery Rifle Team (plus other squads) & is an active competitive shot (& medal winner) at Bisley. He's tested muzzle brakes on .22 rifles quite a lot over the years and has found that they DO have a positive effect on accuracy. Very nice, but I have to ask; why? Why NOT? As with lots of shooting, each to their own...but as per the reply above, they do make a difference on target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Very nice in the white. Out of curiosity where do you stand legally? If a silencer has to be on your ticket does one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar legally to choke tubes on shotguns...not classed as a restricted item...so can be feeely bought/sold Edited May 31, 2014 by saddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
