Gentlemen, I've been searching and discussing this to no avail. Briefly, I'm looking for a muzzle brake with the following specs; please recommend something if you are familiar with the product or know of something that satisfies what I need. I'd appreciate a reference to a thread here if I missed it. I'm NOT looking for opinions on whether to use one or not, what to do instead, alternative solutions, or why my idea is terrible. Product recommendations, instead.
I appreciate your time, expertise and help.
The brake will go on a skinny barrel of a light, punishing hunting rifle in 7mm WBY MAG. The idea here is to make the rifle super light and compact and mitigate recoil - priority #1. This is an experimental rifle, there's some work done on it, so please, brakes only.
Specs:
Cal: 7mm (WBY MAG, it needs to be sturdy)
1/2" x 28 thread
4-port or 5-port only
Self-timed
Ports on top for compensation (e.g. like in the Fat Bastard by APA) fixed or adjustable
Light weight (and not bulky, size-wise)
No ports directed straight downward (prone debris blowback...)
Nitrided
The big limitation here is the 1/2" thread... I'm not interested in adapters/additional contraptions to install the brake (weight reduction). Some specs above are "flexible" (SS vs nitrided), but most are "fixed". Apollo LR 7mm comes to mind, but no 1/2" thread. I wonder if you could help me find something like this, if it exists...
Thanks again for your time and help.
Happy hunting!
