Not talking about cleaning the brake
itself!
Bought a Dominus SR a while back. Still in jail.
Q: Which of their SR brakes catch the least patches within the brake itself when retracting the cleaning rod?
Or, put another way, which brake plays the nicest with cleaning patches/jags? Like when you’re cleaning the bore.
EDIT: Usually, I pop just the patch out of the bore and not the screwed-on thick bit of the spear-point jag, which is the diameter of the rod. As I retract the rod, the patch falls off. With a brake, the patch will probably(?) fall off within the brake.
I know I could probably just push the patch all of the way through the brake, but it’s be nice not to run the rod over the crown.
TBAC offers two different SR muzzle devices, a brake and a “non-timed” brake.
Note: I shoot 100% suppressed. So recoil reduction without a suppressor isn’t a factor for me here.
Regular brake, needs timing with peel washers (otherwise I look dumb at the range without the suppressor attached
)
Non-timed brake, just spin on
As someone who has never owned a brake, I have no experience cleaning a rifle with an attached brake. Obviously the brake will be red-locktited on, as per TBAC, so I’m not spinning it off each time I clean.
I imagine it’s easiest to fish stuck patches out of the the regular brake, but then (for looks in my case) it’s the fussiest to install.
I’d rather just get the non-timed brake and just spin it one without the peel washer dance, but it looks like it has the smallest interior volume and smallest port openings…but it has 8 ports vs 4.
Kinda dumb question here, splitting hairs, but hey, but I’m bored and my Dominus is calling lol. Humor me.
