Which muzzle brake??

[Beavis Ranch]

Everyone uses muzzle brakes these days. The days of the old codgers whining about them at the range is over! We are all using them too! I threaded My Sako M995 in 7mm STW 1/2-28 I don't recall the muzzle diameter because it's been a while.

Check out "Harrels Muzzle Brakes" to me they are a good compromise between price and functionality. They have radial brakes for very low prices and their "Tactical" Brakes are about $15.00 more, I just saw that their new website has the price increase of $5.00 per brake. If you get to a website that doesn't work, Try the next one down, They had issues with their old site and have created a new one, I always had to call in. I just discovered them this year but I have ordered several times and they have quick service and quality products.

CM = CroMoly.

Was concerned if you had enough meat based on bore size. Was concerned about barrel wall thickness. For a brake while thin there should be enough for 5/8x24 for a brake.

There is not enough meat for 5/8-24, Major Diameter for 5/8 24 is 0.623 His barrel is 0.657

Feenix,
Patiently standing by

Thanks for the feedback gent's

This is off my 7MM STW with sendero contour. It's a 3-side port and 3-top port with an OD of .750", and you can probably have your gunsmith turn it down to .65X to match your barrel. It is all yours if you want it.

Feenix - another awesome gesture of generosity. This puts a smile on my face.

Yep,.750 will work great.the smith will taper it down to .657 to fit the muzzle diameter with the brake being about .050 lager on either side. Hopefully that makes sense

The muzzle diameter might (?) limit you to a radial-type muzzle brake, which I am not a fan of.

Yeah I was thinking that too. Radial brakes/spiral brakes kick up a ton of dust and/or snow. I have one. It's the savage adjustable one that you can twist closed. I leave it closed.

Feenix, What threads are on your STW?

It's 5/8-24" and might not be ideal (but I will let him/the gunsmith decide) for a .650" muzzle OD, but I am sending it his way nonetheless. Perhaps he can use it with his other rifles.
