I have a typical mini 14 which shoots about 4-6 inches at 100 yards. I have been doing much reading on other websites about the effects of muzzle brakes on these guns.
The consensus is that adding a brake generally cuts the diameter of the group size to around 2 inches.
The design of the brake having little effect on things, but the added weight apparently does something to the harmonics of the barrel when fired.
I have had better luck following advise of the folks on this board. So thought I'd post it here.
Is there any truth to all this muzzle brake mess? Anyone have any experience with this?
Years ago, I had a mini 14 that was a good shooter, it had a brake/suppressor attached to it. I don't know if this is coincidence or if they really help out. Unfortuanately I had to sell the rifle way back when because of a lack of funds in my budget.
2inch groups I can live with, the 6 inch that it currently produces.....well..... I reckon I'd be better off with one of those wrist rocket sling shots.
What is the difference between a flash suppressor and a muzzle brake?
They sell cheap Double Muzzle breaks at cheaper than dirt for around $20. They call it legal. I dont know the difference.
