[QUOTE="Philip J Theodhor, post: 1746170, member: 111223"] A muzzle brake if properly timed will offset the muzzle climb by diverting some gas at a downwards angle. This will negate muzzle climb to a degree. If your brake is well engineered such as say an MBM bastard, or a V6G Epsilon in the appropriate caliber you will gain a muzzle flash hider as well. This may or may not influence your decision. However please visit the MBM web site and view the videos on line. The are very compelling and did influence me to purchase a tune-able brake.(no crush washers needed here) Alignment is very straight forward and very easy to accomplish with out any additional tool to be purchased. (barrel vise, specialized tooling or anything else for that matter). Now the down side ,you will experience a more robust noise level from said muzzle blast,as so will your shooting neighbors.
