Muzzle break with a aluminum blast management sleave

[Cloudrepair]

I have a muzzle break with a aluminum blast management sleave.
any of you have experience with these.
I'm just wondering if I should remake the sleave out of 4140 or something to keep from having the sleave come apart on me at the range.
Any help apreciated thanks

I have no experience with these but like the idea an will get one for testing soon. From an engineering standpoint, the pressure forces on the sleeve will be balanced and radial. There is a good chance your aluminum sleeve will be fine. If it is made by a reputable company, which means it was adequately tested, then I wouldn't worry about it. Keep an eye on it as it will crack/deform before it breaks but I would shoot it before I rebuilt it.

Bringing this back up.

How well did it work? Less recoil than no brake, and quiter than a nekid brake?

I installed one for a guy who was quite happy with it. They really are an option for ranges that allow muzzle brakes. For small calibers where not much recoil manament is necessary but guys use brakes to keep the rifle on the target, this are a good option to be thoughtful of guys next to you.

Thanks for the link,that is exactly what I need . My Son just gave me an AR, has the "Bird cage " on it...no way would I shoot at the range with it ,it's allowed but I am not going to subject anyone to that .
