You do BEAUTIFUL work!! I've always had a love affair with flush fit brakes and the one you built in this series is one of the best I've seen thus far! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work, subscribing!!!
For safety reasons you should always have your sand paper or Emory cloth on the opposite side of you pulling toward you. So if it breaks you will go back away from the chuck.
very nice, I'm just getting into machining so watching, reading, and tooling up my home shop before I retire from the railroad in the next 6-8 yrs. thanks for putting your skills out here. Brian
Great video's and great job! Can't wait to see more of your work. How about can update to the "fluting" of your barrel? what make and model Is your mill and laith?
Not the way I would do it. My main concern would be re-indexing the brake on the outside of the barrel. You are changing pressures by varying depth of the ports from one side to the other. It's easy enough to blend the brake into the barrel especially if you were only a couple thou out. I've also lost CHUNKS of skin running my finger on running parts!
Awsome videos can u still remove the break after blending it ? Why not just do that to the end of the barrel if your looking for an all one piece look? Pardon my ignorance on this subject
Confused. What is that device you built? A muzzle brake is to reduce recoil by directing gases rearward at an angle pushing the rifle forward to oppose the rearward recoil. It only has angled ports on each side and none on top or bottom. Not sure what your build is supposed to do.
Most muzzle brakes direct gases sideways, just like this one. Those bigger oval holes are side holes, round holes are on top. If you direct gases backwards, the bang will be much louder to the shooter, and it's unpleasant. Maybe you've watched too much 50 BMG muzzle brakes?
Hey, I'm really far behind the original posting of this. haha Maybe I missed it in this series, but how did you thread this and gaurantee that the brake would be aligned as hoped?
I wish I had a lathe, and the skills, or a friend nearby who could make me a couple designs, I'm getting a 338 winchester magnum rifle and I want a different style brake for it, it has a multi hole one, I don't know the name, just it has multiple holes drilled into it
Nice job, fun to follow along. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jim. Im trying to decide on what to fim next.

Man, that is a thing of beauty.....
Great videos and love the end product very nice and polished.

Enjoyed your work. Thanks
Thanks to all who have commented. I would like to post more vids, but its hard with so much work. Thanks again.............SKI
Beautifull work..! *thumbs up*
Top irmão parabéns
Great job Sir!
Very nice work.
Amazing work you do
Good video. How do you determine the width/diameter of the slots and holes. Are they dictates by the caliber?
Great video's and great job! Can't wait to see more of your work. How about can update to the "fluting" of your barrel? what make and model Is your mill and laith?
Looks great!
Looks like it grew there man.....Just like it grew there.
Great Work!

muy buen trabajo!!!!!! felicitaciones
Just found your video, great job! How do you finish the front of your breaks?
Hi can you tell me the amount of clearance between the ID of the brake and the OD of the Bullet?
Thanks for the Video great skills you have!!
