| Just got 20in Bull Barrel and thinking of putting break on it. Does anyone know of one made for bull barrels? |

Ross Schuler has one that is 1.250" diameter, but he will taper it to whatever you want. He has an ad on EE. Good price at $40.00 shipped. Available in either SS or carbon steel.

Does anyone know of one made for bull barrels? spikes!  just joking figured I would be the first to post it or someone else would ,but seriously I have seen a M-14 style brake on one at a high power match it did look really nice but I doubt it did anything as far as function for the rifle,I'm sure someone on this site has a link to something for it.

I love my JP bennie cooley brake,loud as hell, but it works great

Spikes put their brake on my build since I live in a ban state. Honestly, it helped with the recoil A LOT and it was not even that loud, even when I stood by the side when someone else shot. Not the coolest looking brake, but it works. If your going on looks the FSC556 is pretty good looking. |

Another vote for the JP
Here's mine with it on http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=494046 |

lower recoil means faster back on target no mater what caliber your shooting. watch a 3 gun match and see if you can spot someone NOT using a brake on their .223 This. Regardless of how little recoil .223 has compared to some other calibers, the gun still moves off the target when you shoot it. If you're in competition, the split seconds to get the muzzle back on target can cost you. For general plinking and self-defense, hunting, etc., I don't think brakes are necessary or desireable for .223, but for stuff like 3-gun, they're darn near essential. |

OP check HERE
as for the nit-picking..........some of you guys need to grow up |

It's muzzle rise that is decreased by a muzzle brake... it reduces "perceived recoil" because the muzzle blast is compensated. Not sure what you mean, but a brake reduces both muzzle rise, and more importantly, RECOIL. There was a detailed article in G&A not too long ago, where I believe it was engineers at Remington or Hornady stated that 70% of recoil is actually due to the momentum of the gases, rather than the projectile itself, leaving the barrel. Re-jetting these gases changes the recoil in a big way. Which is precisely what a well-designed brake does. Ask me how I know - I have an AR-50 , and that brake ain't on there for muzzle rise reduction.

I thought that a brake redirected the recoil... as in made the rifle go straight back, making it more manageable... as opposed to actually reducing it. |

I thought that a brake redirected the recoil... as in made the rifle go straight back, making it more manageable... as opposed to actually reducing it. It essentially redirects the gas streams such that they actually work to pull the gun away from the shooter's shoulder. In summation, there still is a recoil force back toward the shooter but it is greatly reduced. In other words, the sum of the absolute value of the forces is much the same save for losses when the gases change direction via the brake, but since their directions oppose the bullet path the result is (effectively, as fast as the human body can perceive) a slighter shove toward the shooter. Some brakes are more effective than others, just depends on how they are designed. However, also like you said many brakes have some form of what is usually called compensation in the form of holes or ports that point up to the sky, reducing muzzle rise by the same principle as a true brake reduces recoil. Crap I'm getting all engineerish on you guys. Sorry bout that, can't help myself!
