Need help picking out a brake--a complicated spin on things

[neenjuh]

So, I have a 20" Satern barrel coming in .875 contour, 9-16x24 threads. It tapers down to .790 right before the threads apparently. I want to go with a brake that will perform good, but I also want it to look good. I really wanted the PF LMD brake, but it tapers down to .725 which would look horrible matted up against a .790 barrel. I guess my only other option is to go with a brake like the WCI muzzle brake?

Look at brakes on the AA site they use that thread pattern.

Well, it's not necessarily the thread pattern. The are plenty of manufacturers making that thread pattern. The problem is finding one that will match up to the barrel so it looks decent. Instead of the brake tapering down to .725 then the barrel being .790. See what I mean?

have a machine shop turn it down to match

I have tried calling PF for two and a half weeks now to see if they could do turn it down to match. They never answer their phones, and I always leave a message. I have had one call back and missed it because I was on the other line. This week they are at the Great American Outdoor Show, so they are not even open. I am assuming they are a small company and are just covered up. Maybe I will be able to get them to answer next week. In the meantime, anyone else have any other possible suggestions or brakes? Leaning towards buying the WCI at this point.

Best performing brake I have found is the M4-72 from Precision Armament. Should blend very nicely with a .790" barrel. Use their alignment washers to time it. Word of caution though, it is loud!!! cause it works. http://precisionarmament.com/product...l-compensator/

Edit: You can find some pretty good comparison tests on youtube that actually have a force measuring scale to compare the effect.

I've not personally shot one of marks brakes from precision firearms but they scored very high marks in a published test. And no, I can't seem to find it again. I have shot the American precision arms brakes though, and they are very good brakes and highest rated among shooters in the prs series. Also try Templar consulting. I have one of his brakes and really like it but I don't think you'll find the diameter ur looking for.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll reach out to a few of these and see what they say.

Maybe you try one of these and use a larger thread brake.
