    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake for DPMS SASS

    Could anyone suggest a good muzzle brake for a DPMS SASS 308 with a TPI count of 5/8 x 24.

    Brake questions..

    Is there a brake out there that doesn't make the rifle so loud for the shooter but still does a good job at reducing recoil? Is there one that brakes well, isn't so loud and still reduces flash?

    Beowolf Brake-Any 1 using AA Brake on their Beo?

    Just picked up an Alexander Arms 50 Beowolf. Alexander Arms offers a brake that slips over the (turned down)barrel end and stays attached with red loctite and set screws. I'm wondering just how effective this brake could be with such a (seemingly) crude set-up and for $75 willing to try. Just...

    A Better muzzle brake for AWSM 338?

    Hi, Is there a better muzzle brake out there for the 338 AWSM than the one it comes with? Preferably one that I can just replace without having any machining done to the bbl. That stock one just doesn't seem very effective at all compared to other 338's I've shot such as the Sako and the...

    Range Report Velocity Drop With Muzzle Brake

    I just had a Badger FTE brake installed on my 24" .308. I really like the feel of the gun now. The brake has really tamed the "rifle hop" I was fighting previously. I was curious as to the velocity effect on my rounds. I'm running 155 Scenars and Lapua brass, 47.1 gr Varget, BR2 primers. Rounds...

    Gunsmithing Brake removal

    I just read in the NRA High Power rulebook that muzzle brakes are not allowed. I was wanting a GAP build with a nice brake on it. My question is with the Badger FTE brake (or others), can they be removed for matches that do not allow it and re-threaded afterwards by the end user without much...
