Not ugly self timing muzzle brake?

[SDHNTR]

Iv used the a419 and APA systems as well. For what your describing the tank is what I would choose.

Very helpful. Thanks.

On the same rifle yes, yes and yes. It’s got a collar that once set makes it the same as a one piece brake. So you just screw it on and off. On top of that it’s got wrench flats and a hex head built into the front of you want to get super picky and record the torque value you apply when installing.

Bummer. No Tank ST in .338!

As far as self timers I think your stuck with a big ugly one if you need a .338 hole

 

[mthayr]

Yes, I have a buddy with one of those and he raves about it, but it’s definitely in the butt ugly category!

Yeah, it's for a chassis rifle so I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - the MBM brake sure is purdy though...

Insite arms heathen would be another to look at, available in 338. Was going to get one for my only braked rifle but ended up with a hellfire match.

Thanks. I’ll have to check that out.

I also want tool less installation. I’d like the ability to take off and put back on in the field.

Which brings up the next question… Which of these are also known for best return to zero after on and off installation? I don’t want to have to re-sight in.

What's the OD of your barrel?

I have 3 of the TiPro brakes and like Broz said, they are awesome. They weight next to nothing, great recoil reduction, and they look great.

I believe if you pm @LivetohuntID ( he makes them) he can answer all your questions about the TiPro brakes.

I don’t yet know the exact outside diameter as my build is still in the works and I don’t have my hands on it yet. Thanks for the contact person.

That sure doesn't look like a self timed brake. Is it? How?

Travis at TS customs has a nice self timing that marries up to proof sendero and sendero lite, he has two sizes. I am with you, I like it to functional and appealing.

Ahhh - there's the rub. I've been looking for those two qualities in a brake as well (toolless & rtz). Best I've been able to find (haven't tried yet) is the Area419 Hellfire. Not sure if it qualifies as "not ugly" though... love to hear from anyone who has experience with it.

I use one, wouldn't recommend. It works great as a recoil reducer but I don't like that you need a separate adapter and my experience is if you don't clean all the carbon off frequently it becomes a PITA to get on/off. I don't need any more cleaning in my life.

No no, its not - though the self-timed ones look pretty similar. Out of curiosity, why self timed, just to save the hassle of a gunsmith?

Partly yes, but also for ease of R&R in the field.

Have you looked at the APR self timing break? I had one fitted when they built my rifle.

Ti pro brakes are amazing

That brake is sexy. Off topic, I get excited when I see people that live near my family. They are west of you in Mineral Wells, Texas. I've hunting pigs south near Strawn.
