MDT Comp Brake - Mistake?

Anyone use this guy yet?

It’s more $ than almost any other comparable brake, but I had a Memorial Day discount so picked one up. In hindsight I realized that all the info I had on it was either from MDT themselves, the user reviews on the MDT site, or from Gavin at Ultimate Reloader. I can’t seem to find many independent reviews on it online, even though it’s been out for 2-3 years it looks like.

Looking at the sliding port idea it seems a bit gimmicky, but theoretically it gives you the option of reducing the upward rifle blast.

Anyway, I’m not going to cry till I’m hurt, but am thinking I should have got the ACE for $60 less when all is said and done. But let me know if anyone has used it. At this point I have the option to return it no problem. Thanks for any info.

I had one. After testing, I ran it with the top port fully open, but I was running a 6.5CM and not a 6BR.

I didn't stick with it, I prefer my ACE Precision brake.

Thanks for your input; I picked it up for a 6.5CM with 26” barrel.

If you would please @rijndael, what is it about the ACE you prefer? Was their something in particular about the MDT that did not work for you?

Thanks!

The ACE Brake was less concussive for me and my shooting partner. It wasn't bad on the MDT, it's definitely no t a 419 brake, but the ACE just seemed better.

I like the set screw on the adjustment nut. It makes removal/install for cleaning easier. It beats lining up paint marks.
