Salmon River Solutions CB / Banish Gold Suppressor Brake help

[Darkone1221]

I just got some of the SRS CB suppressor brake mounts and their hub to go behind my dead air nomad ti xc. I’m trying to decide if I’m going to time the brakes. Here’s the deal, I’m sharing this can between 3 rifles and plan to sight them in and only shoot them with the can on. Some of them have very skinny cerakoted barrels. The shims stick out like a sore thumb as the shims are a larger diameter than the barrel and are a different color. My gun smith told me we could measure the material that would need to be removed to make them sit exactly where they’re supposed to by milling a small amount of material off the brake. Seems like a lot of time and effort for something that will be hidden during actual use. Do you think an untimed brake under a suppressor will affect accuracy on large magnum cartridges. I know that it will if it isn’t inside a suppressor. Will the lopsided direction of gas flow cause the muzzle jump to be inconsistent inside the suppressor?

Thanks

Also I do not plan to run a brake on the end of the can, and if I do, it won’t be a directional one

Why did you buy the brakes instead of the CB mini?

To your question, i dont think it is a big deal. I've never timed a CB for my ultra 7 and never noticed any issues.

That said, there's 1.75" diameter metal part at the end of the barrel anyway. Why does a shim matter aesthetically?

To your question, i dont think it matters at all. I've never timed a CB for my ultra 7, just screw them on.

Great question, I did look at the cb mini. I bought these brakes because the dealer who sold me them told me the brake is a larger sacrificial baffle and it actually helps with a better tone. He stated he has this exact setup and that the cb mini is great on smaller stuff but he recommends the brakes on magnum cartridges.

Might be something to a sacrificial baffle part but I've never considered getting enough use on my hunting cans for it to be an issue.

On the sound part, Ken @Salmon River Solutions mentioned previously that they got better metering results from the mini than having a brake in the can. Makes sense if you consider that a brake takes up volume in the blast chamber.

Well, seems you have provided me with a solution. Thank you!!!

And to answer the question of why it matters aesthetically, the main answer is because I’m weird and challenged mentally. The barrel is a tungsten grey and the shims are a bit larger than the barrel and when I timed it and got it put together I couldn’t stand the look of the off center shim that was a different color than the brake and the barrel.

I believe thunderbeast just loctites their cb brake in their suppressor if you order a direct thread can. I have had no accuracy problems using a direct thread thunderbeast can.

I wouldn’t cut on the brakes unless your gunsmith is a very good machinist, they are made on a cnc and all cut at the same time to be perfectly concentric. You might introduce runout if you mill the brakes.

Hit the nail on the head with that one.

The CB mini would be my go to nowadays if I wasn't running direct thread on everything. Currently all my stuff is a hodge-podge of a bunch of random prototype Unknown Suppressors cans that I hot swap around like a deranged lunatic.

Believe it or not as a business owner you end up with all the factory second crap so you keep stuff in inventory
