added twist to harrells brake

[benchrest]

mostly just cosmetic. i like the looks of the ports on the end of the vias so i drilled the end of my harrell brake. i made the ports on the end the same size as the sides b/c it was easier to index and line all the ports up.
it will go on my 6br whenever i get it threaded......

I recently put a Harrells brake on a short barreled hunting rifle. It reduces recoil by about 40-50%. It increases the muzzle blast by a very large precent. I have been thinking of making a threaded sleeve to go over the brake the diameter of the barrel and turning the brake down over the ports so there would be a gap between the sleeve and the brake that vented forward. It would work simular to forward vented brakes but not violate their patent as it would be different.

What does the other end look like?
I got a 6mmBRX take off barrel with Harrell brake.
I put it on a Rem700 and cut a new 6mmBR chamber.
The rifle is too loud.
I was going to slide a sleeve on the brake, but if I could unscrew it, that would be better.
What do you think it takes to get one off?

clark,
the brake is threaded. yours should just twist off.

Clark,
Once it's unscrewed you'll need a thread protector.
Harrells has them also........... they'll need to be fitted, but are threaded.
