Anybody tried the EC tuner brake?
I am interested in it and would like to hear some reviews.
Thanks!

Tuners work, Patriot valley sell the kind that work with suppressor
@Steel head ATS tuners have 3/4-24

It matters less on heavy contours. That doesn’t mean it’s less effective; heavier barrel contours are just less impacted by slight changes in harmonics and resultant changes in deflection.
You’ll just have to shoot a lot more while you go through more of the tuners settings on a thicker contour barrel.
This new ec brake uses a small and light weight which isn’t ideal but would be one of the limitations of that design. The standard for tuners is a weight around 4oz.
Check out the tmb. It’s designed to work better with thicker contour barrels.

Remember he’s a bench rest shooter primarily. Silencers aren’t big on their priority list
LoL, not a thing in California. I am from California, I feel I am not in the U.S.
I do depending on where is shooting. Half the country is communist and is scared of them and the other half is going that way fast.
Well, to start I always dope a rifle both ways. I zero for suppressed and note the offset for unsuppresed. Now if I’m going to California to shoot said rifle, I have to live the silencer at home so I shoot it with a brake. Again, for me, I’m not a big smallest tiniest group guy. I don’t shoot BR and currently I’m not reloading. these aren’t my thing. but Again, to those of us in the states, yes silencers are legal, but some states ban them. We shoot in all the states and sometimes with the same gun so we have to shoot both ways. Maybe when we r full blown communist up here it won’t matter because all the silencers will be lost in boating accidents
edit to add, not all,states allow hunting with silencers either.
Actually, people from out of state can bring in their suppressors.
I use the 419 system exclusively for 2 reasons. The taper is solid and I can protect the barrel threads. If I accidentally cross thread and adapter and jack it up, well just replace it. Not so easy if you jack up the barrel threads.
I was fortunate to get one from the initial order. Should be here Monday, and weather permitting, should have some results later next week.
I use 419 as well. It’s a direct thread basically but better. I can take my can off and put my brake on any rifle I have with the universal adaptor... so all of them lol.
If I were to add a tuner it would be the kinetic solutions so I could just have it behind the 419 stuff.
This^^^. I just got the Kinect Solutions tuner for Christmas. Can’t wait to test it.
I run the 419 setup because I really like their brakes. I don't have a can yet, but my plan for when I get one is to run a muzzle brake for matches and a can for everything else including practice. APA makes a brake that is a little more effective in my opinion, but it requires a wrench to take off.
During a match, I don't get any benefit from running a can. Everyone else runs brakes, so I still have to double up on ear pro and if I run a can, I don't get the reduction in recoil.
For anything else, I can just run standard ear pro and I won't go deaf if I take a few shots with no ear pro. The increased recoil is better practice, and the neighbors won't complain about noise so much.
My only complaint with stuff like this is that we're mounting a brake on a mount on the barrel threads. For a can, it's mounting a can to an adapter, to a taper mount to the threads. There's an awful lot going on there and tolerance stacking can be a bitch. Tossing a tuner in the same spot leaves a hell of a lot going on in a critical part of the system.

Seriously? I am a Florida resident but could potentially get stationed in CA. That my biggest concern, I can’t use my suppressor?
I wouldn't recommend taking legal advice from a random on a forum lol. That being said, the issue would probably be that you're "living" in the state because you're stationed there.
Cops can’t even own them except for in their duty weapons purchased through departments.
If you could do a collaboration with area 419 (419 style taper mount machined into the end) to piggyback off the system they already have in place, it would give you access to their whole array of suppressor adapters and brakes. But, I have no idea how the business end of that would work.
thunderbeast suppressors are the most popular on SH and in the PRS community and they mount onto there own muzzle brake
Yeah, theres an exemption form you can fill out that allows out of state residents to bring suppressors if traveling to an organized shooting event inside the state.
You have more rights here than actual residents.
Other than certain FFL, LEO, or IDGAF. But I wouldnt know anything about that.
The brake just needs standard 5/8 threading. His tuner requires something special.
I just bought a house in Idaho so I can legally own a suppressor and other free state items.
Just kidding.
Kind of.
Dont tell the wife.

The only exemption I’m aware of is you can pass through the state on your way to another state but you cannot use it or Posses (ca definition) it. It needs to be locked up and never mounted on a rifle and you cannot spend the night in CA. I have good friend in the CA bureau of firearms. I’ll ask him Monday.
ima native Cali boy. I’m very familiar with their bullshit. its one of the reasons I bailed.
CA Born and raised. Reason I know theres a event that is one of those spartan physical/ shooting challenge on a mil base and they had links to actual form for competitors. looked into it and its legit. The event post is here on SH somewhere.
On a military base is a whole nother animal. That technically isn’t California That be federal land.
It was a state/county thing that allowed it. You needed it just to enter the state, travel, and to stay locally. I'll look into it.
If you want to use a suppressor with an EC tuner, just get his original. It requires having your barrel turned and threaded, but it works with any brake or suppressor you want. It’s also much larger so you don’t have to worry with the possibility of the weight being too small.
There’s also the ATS others have mentioned. I’ve only used the original EC tuner, but the ATS is getting good reviews and doesn’t require added threads.

I wish the ATS wasn't so expensive. By the time I get an ATS I could just grab an EC Tuner and have it installed for the same amount
The cost savings is after first barrel.
I don’t know about the others but the EC tuner mounts to the barrel itself (you have to have a length behind the threads machined to a specific diameter) and not the threads.
It’s both. Federal property such as mil bases, post offices etc fall under state AND federal jurisdictions so you have to comply with both sets of laws.
Thank you sir, I’ll have to do some reading on the ATS system tonight.
