First build - eggman918 - 02-17-2023
Here is my first complete build, I did a lower build with a sale upper to start but it was not what I "needed" so.
AMT upper and lower
Wilson Combat 20" barrel
Geissele Hi-Speed National Match Trigger
Muzzle brake V3.0 which is titanium with 3 .500" ports angled 15* to the rear.
Viper PST II 5-25x50
It's still a work in progress but now most of that is trigger time so can't complain.

Wear good hearing protection. I bought an upper that had a highly rated muzzle brake on it, though I didnt notice that it was a muzzle brake. Took it pig hunting and shot a pig (2 hits and a miss), and brother that hurt my poor ears.

Truth, 603 it's effective but kinda obnoxious I use my trucks flatbed as my shooting bench and I have noticed that when shooting across the bed the blast wave reflects off the headache rack
where shooting from the side and to the rear it's not nearly as bad. If I was a range shooter I'd be on to V4.0 by now. Started with a basic Cutts Compensator style but it did not shoot to well
Changed the ID and a buddy with a .458 SoCom has been using it and likes it. I'm a life long tinkerer so V4.0 will happen some day brakes are truly fun projects that do not take much time or coin.
