Is that the new Bradley Arms muzzle brake? Some nice generous ports and by the way the MB appears to sleeve back over the barrel I would say it is designed to work with a shim stack for the correct timing of the brake.

Hi Ovenpaa,

That's something I've never heard of before. What do you mean by "timing" in the context of muzzle breaks? Never having used one (being against the rules in TR) it's something I know little or nothing about.

Think it refers to setting the brake at an angle so that the gas escaping from its ports will reduce the rotational motion of the rifle by countering the force exerted by the spinning bullet.

Why would one even need a muzzle break on a .223/5.56?

Muzzle control on a .223/5.56? You're kidding right? I have two semi auto AR's in 5.56 and they both shoot boringly accurate all day long, the muzzle barely moves. If someone has a problem with muzzle control on a .223/5.56 then they aren't holding the rifle properly.

You'd be surprised at the recoil difference between a semi and straightpull .223 rifle! Its massively disproportionate compared to say a semi and pump shotgun. Its still by no means harsh but its enough to mess up your sight picture if you're using a med-high power scope.

Re the OP's pic, it looks pretty similar to the JP Cooley brake i had on my SGC AR, most unpleasant for those next to you

I like the look of that, I wonder how efficient it is?
