Custom Installed Muzzle Brakes FAQ

Muzzle Brakes with an Emphasis on Accuracy, Functionality and Value.
Our Precision Installation Process On-Center Threaded Brakes - Our muzzle brakes are all threaded on-center with the bore. This assures that the exit hole is aligned with the bullet path and that ignition gases affect the bullet equally on all sides, which is the best condition for accuracy.

C-T-C 11º Target Crown - After the muzzle is threaded and before the brake is installed, we cut the crown. Our crowning system aligns the muzzle and the chamber between centers (C-T-C) to assure that a perfect crown is cut. This crown is inspected with a loupe to be sure it is perfect before the muzzle brake is installed.

No-Stress Mounting - Our muzzle brake threads are snug with no wobble... again to assure alignment and accuracy. Beyond this, we install them with a zero-torque method to be sure no stress is introduced into the barrel. Finally to assure accuracy, they are sealed in place with red loctite. Brakes we Offer: OPS Tactical/Varmint Muzzle Brake: Maximum Recoil Reduction with Reduced Muzzle Blast and Accuracy Enhancement. A large expansion chamber followed by a baffle traps and redirects gases to eliminate dust printing, muzzle rise, and back blast... you can watch your shots hit the target. Up to 70% Recoil Reduction. All stainless steel construction... a very effective and comfortable brake. Choose this brake for fast .224-.358 caliber cartridges. This brake is designed to contain the bullet within high temperature gases as it passes through the brake... Avoiding flutter from the sound barrier. JP Howitzer/Sherman Tank Muzzle Brake:

We recommend that brakes be installed with close fitting threads and fixed in place with red loctite... This keeps the exit hole in the center and secures it from any chance of wobble.  Magnum Slimline Muzzle Brake: These muzzle brakes reduce recoil level approximately 42-45% and eliminate muzzle rise on chamberings up to 300 Win. Mag. Our installations are threaded 5/8-24 and 1/2-28 on-center and finished with our 11º center-to-center Target Crown. Blended to fit muzzle diameters from .530" to .850". Works with any .224-.45 cal. cartridge.

The Brockman Brake has the option of opening and closing the gas ports,

essentially turning the brake off without removing it. You can open the ports and enjoy the recoil reduction while working up loads, sighting in, and practicing. Then, just close the ports if you want to go hunting with normal muzzle noise*. Same accuracy, same sight zero. Locked-In Precision - Muzzle Brakes are not like flash suppressors that can be just screwed on and off. Accuracy and recoil reduction require that they have very close and even clearance with the bullet (measured in thousandths). The Brockman Brake is precision threaded and rigidly installed with 11º target crown on center with the bore. Only the outer sleeve moves to open and close ports. Shoot Better with Less Recoil - Pendulum tested to reduce recoil by up to 47%, the Brockman Brake will make any rifle easier to shoot well. You'll shoot better from a rest when your rifle stops jumping around on the bags and you concentrate. You'll shoot better off-hand when you practice with the brake and stop flinching and jerking the trigger. Physical Requirements - Calibers from .224 to .338, minimum muzzle diameter of .730". Maximum .875". The brake itself is .875" in diameter and our installation bevels at the rear to transition nicely to your barrel diameter. Available in Stainless. JP Tactical Brake: (pictured above) An extremely Popular and Effective brake for All Centerfire Rifle Cartridges! Our "Go To" brake for large diameter, "heavy" barrel contours. It fits muzzle diameters from .750 to 1.000 inch. This JP Tactical (and varmint) muzzle brake draws heavily from the dual baffle design of our JP “Howitzer” muzzle brake. The original idea was that smaller cartridges like .223 Rem don’t need as much baffle area so the size of the brake could be reduced without losing too much baffle effect. But it evolved into a major caliber brake. It is excellent for all cartridges. We've been installing these on Encore barrels, Bolt Action rifles, and AR15 variants for a several of years now, on guns chambered for just about all centerfire cartridges. The response has been so positive that we added this brake to our regular installed Muzzle Brake line-up. The major outside diameter of this brake is 1.220". It adds about 2-1/8 inch to the barrel length (unless you want us to shorten the barrel with installation). Available in Blue.
