Has anyone ever tried one on their muzzy?
Any downfalls or negatives to be aware of?

Muzzle brake on a muzzy

Tagging in. My ML has a threaded barrel, and I'm wondering as well. That thing beats the heck out of me with stiff loads of BH209.

I think this thread might have what your looking for. In short they work. I have ports in the end of one of mine that I lend to friends and they like shooting it.

Muzzle brake for the muzzleloader?
Who uses one? I shoot 150 grns of white hots with a 250 grn bullet on top. Looking at my options of taming it a bit. I would either have to get my optima threaded or upgrade to an accura. Doesn't look like there are many options for brakes of this size, I would definitely like to keep using...
If it's the shoulder push, that's one thing.
If it smacks your cheekbone, check your stock fit against your body.
Every rifle, and one muzzle loader, that smacked my face, the LOP was off and caused all the problems. It's amazing how 3/4" added to a LOP can completely change the recoil.

I run the Arrowhead on my CVA Acura LRX. No issues and does what it's supposed to.

Hankins Precision out of Kentucky makes them and they are good quality, and they work! Be sure to pick up one of his funnels too as getting loose powder down the tube through a muzzle brake without one is tough.

Definitely need to check out LRCustomsinc.com for a muzzy brake system. He's also designed a MOA iron sight system for LR muzzy's (or AR's for that matter) for states that don't allow scopes.

Running a four port Arrowhead on my .45. It's a big difference. I've shot it with the brake off and it cuts a HUGE amount of recoil. Started with the Arrowhead radial that came on the barrel. It worked great for recoil but don't like the radial type if you need to shoot prone.

Yup just got LR Custom MZ-REX2 on my McWhorter 45XML and it's way better than the one they put on her. Highly recommend LR Custom muzzle brakes. You won't regret it

In addition to his muzzle brakes, here's a link to a post with some more info on Levi's (LRCustomsinc.com) muzzy sight he's building.

Levi is a fantastic guy. I was on the phone with him the other day talking muzzlebrakes. His stuff just freaking works and works well. I have his MZ-REX2 on my Smokless muzzleloader

Any idea what this will cost?
