Effect of a krinkov stlye brake on accuracy

[sobrbiker883]

Anyone noted any effect on accuracy of a krinkov style "chamber and cone" brake on a full caliber precision semi?

While my POF's triple port brake is effective, but I'm not a fan of the concussion. I'm considering running one as I have a line on a manufacturer making some.

I was thinking to run the chambered brake in suppressed mode and that may slow my action down a bit as its borderline hot in the current setup. (6.5 Creedmoor POF)

I installed a Noveske on my MWS when I cut it back to 13.5"

I needed the length to make it non SBR and figured the Pig would prevent cycling issues. Damn thing as a loud fire breathing bastard. Soon switched it for a BABC and was much happier (didnt have any cycling isses either).

Other than use on SBRs where added pressure is needed I just dont see any advantages to using it. Added noise, added fireball and no reduction in recoil.

YMMV

It's a 20" tube, and actually these are being developed by the dude that does the barrel machining for POF to stop the fireball on the shorty PDW 308's (and they are having great results there).

He ran one on a 20" 308 in our monthly match and did pretty well, so I think the accuracy isn't affected.
I think I'm going to try running one on suppressed as an option to trying a carrier weight. I'm unlocking just a hair sooner than I'd prefer-function is perfect but I can tell that the bolt's unlocking while there's still a bit of pressure against the bolt face.
