5 STAR MUZZLE BRAKE
Retail price of $109.00 (Includes both the 5 Star brake and trailing locking nut).
The 5 Star Muzzle break is bored for a 6mm bullet clearance. Please note if you want to shoot a larger caliber, you need to increase the exit hole diameter accordingly. We can do this at Superior Shooting Systems for you if you call and ask. 806-323-9488
I have shot a multitude of muzzle brakes and have a list of certain desired results.
1. Recoil reduction is certainly important but certainly not the only parameter of importance.
2. The ability to stay on target is very high on my list – which will require an asymmetrical design.
3. Some tuneability of the brake is also desirable and while this is not designed as a muzzle tuner, the ability to turn a complete revolution either in or out in direction from muzzle flush to the back of the first port often yields a smaller group.
4. Being able to comfortably use this brake with either a set of ear plugs or a set of ear muffs is important. Brakes which blow the gas to the rear require me to use both plugs and muffs.
5. A brake which will conform to the International Benchrest Shooters rules is always a plus.
6. A brake whose ports are positioned so as not to disturb the ground in front (no dirt blown on myself or a competitor next door).
7. While I am completely in agreement that an effective brake for a 40 gr capacity case p only needs 3 or 4 sets of ports to be very effective, a 90 grain capacity case will effectively utilize all 5 sets of ports. If desired you can machine off a complete set of ports and still have an effective and good looking brake.
8. Thread diameters of smaller than 5/8” are suspect in my opinion for bores larger than 6mm. The 5 Star brake is a ¾ x24 tpi design. Threaded adapter sleeves in 5/8 x 24 tpi are available if you already have your muzzle threaded as such.
The 5 Star brake fits all of the 8 parameters outlined above. It contains 5 star shaped (5 ports each) exit angled muzzle blast portals along with an asymmetrical design.
The 5 Star expansion chamber design efficiently collects and disperses expanding gas as opposed to damming them up. This is an important design difference versus others (4 Star/Bastard designs).
It is supplied with a trailing locking nut so as to facilitate brake placement for tuneability. When properly installed will allow complete revolutions either way from flush.
Threads are ¾ x 24 tpi so bore diameters up thru .375 caliber have enough body wall thickness for peace of mind.
5/8 x 24 TPI (thread per inch) threaded adapters are an additional $10 each.
If you have a 5/8 x24 TPI on your barrel, you will need one of these threaded adapters for the muzzle break to fit if you are not using a trailing locking nut. If you use the trailing locking nut you will need 2 adapters (one for the muzzle break and one for the trailing locking nut). To use both the muzzle break and the trailing locking nut you will need about 1.25 inches of threaded length on the end of the barrel.
All parts are made from 416 stainless.
