I am assuming this is unsafe to shoot, but figured i would ask, on the off chance anyone with more money than worries has investigated
can this be shot as is, as long as my hand is not near by, without ill effects? specifically, just so i don't have to remove the rail every time i check a new load for stability, typically with subs. I dont load supers, i buy that factory.

exactly what i assumed would happen lol. I guess this is now a "link OP a brake shield" thread. ETA: I have access to a lathe and basic tools. I guess it wouldnt take much effort to turn down some stock to fit snugly inside of the rail, and clear the mount. could add a threaded screw hole as a means to temporarily secure it for testing purposes... ETA 2: I could get some steel tube, 1.875" OD, turn it down to my rail's ID (1.805") minus say...10 thousandths for clearance, and that would leave me with roughly 150 thousands wall thickness |

If one used the SilencerCo MAAD Brake, (see below), one could have the first port of the Trifecta buried in a rail. But, it appears you have the entire Saker Trifecta Muzzle Brake buried in there. If your rail was one inch shorter, and you used SilencerCo MAAD Brake, you would probably be fine.

The shields being discussed look like this, but I haven't see one for a SiCo mount. |
| Just turn down and thread a tube that would match the threads on the MAAD mount. Then you could just screw your trifecta mount onto it, then attach it. I would just add heavy chamfering on the outside edge to prevent it from being misconstrued as being anything close to a suppressor. |

I have one of these for when I don't want the can on this rifle, which so far has just been once at the range to try it out. I pretty much always use a can if that is an option.

The shields being discussed look like this, but I haven't see one for a SiCo mount. i was thinking the simple solution would be to weld on a stainless steel washer. that would block the majority of the gas, and keep things cheap. also for whoever suggested that i make a tube to screw on to the trifecta maad mount....not a bad idea... |
