Muzzle Brake - Affects point of impact?
You might find this interesting..
Not too long ago I assembled an unissued Romanian G kit on a NoDak receiver, with the Tapco slant-style brake. The Tapco brake can be installed one of two ways - ostensibly to adapt for right or left-handed shooters. I am a RH shooter, but I accidentally installed the brake as for a LH shooter.
The gun shot WAY left at 25 yds (the only distance where I can still see the target). When I say 'way left' I mean out in the 5 ring of a standard 100 yd small-bore rifle target. When I discovered the error, and switched the brake over, it shot dead down the center.
Also, FWIW, this gun shoots low.. that is, I have to set the rear sight to the 'battle' setting to get POA.. that is, sights aligned with the center of the bull to hit the bull @ 25yds. I might remove the brake and see if there is any effect.
