BobAsh 582 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) You've been busy today. Did that setup work OK? That long one is gonna part your hair with the backblast. Edited July 15, 2008 by BobAsh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Bob, We had it fixtured backwards so the vents would have been going the wrong way. But it was no big deal to turn the thing around and set up some new stops. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Oh yeah, I now remember that you threaded them first. ...well, could have cut the top one (above the vise) instead of the bottom one with that setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HarvKY 72 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 More beautiful work Tony. For the less engineering minded among us, ahem ... Could you please give us an idea of the performance benefits - compared to other options? Thanx as always HarvKY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WHITE 3 GOLF 2 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 These brakes look bad ass. I'm glad I didn't ask like an ass when I first saw the competition model shotgun come out when the brakes would be available. Patience is a vertue many don't have, but all I have is time. Thanks Tony for another great product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah, it only took a year from prototype to production......too damn many irons in the fire these days....... Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Tony, those look awesome. I have been thinking about some kind of brake also, and have only worried about the wad fingers opening in the brake and clogging it up. Are those brakes bores standard bore size through to keep that from happening? If not, then the length of the Monster brake suggests that wad opening is further away from the muzzle than I had thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 The Monster is opened up more then the Comp brake. I still need to test it though. I may have to open it up even more, but I don't think so. Either way, there is plenty of material to make the bore larger if need be. The Comp brake has already been extensively tested and it is fine with an .820 bore. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tutmos 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Where can one find the Muzzle Brakes Tromix was making for Beowulf .50's? I don't know if you still make them and if there's a particular vendor that sells them or what but I'd really love to get my hands on one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I quit making anything for AA guns after Bill's customer's forwarded me e-mails where he was telling them that I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. He later posted on barfcom that he was pleased to be such a big player in the arms industry that small guys like Tromix were able to make a living building add-on trinkets for his uppers. If you want a nice muzzle brake for your Beowulf, call Bill Alexander and tell him to make you one like Tromix used to build. Bill Alexander can kiss my white ass...........

Tony Rumore Tromix Corp How's that for f'ed up. Sheesh. Let me guess, Bill was hoping to sell his own glue on brakes instead, so he badmouthed the ones people wanted? Just as a random thought, wouldn't it stick in his craw more if you were still making them and everyone used yours despite his badmouthing? It seems like there's still quite a bit of demand as people chuckle about the glue on or set screw versions. I'd happily post over on the Beowulf forums how much I love my Tromix brake if I could get a hold of one! It's a thought and I'd pay well : ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Back on the subject....... I took out a few guns today and test fired the two new brakes. The Competition brake worked well...about 15% recoil reduction (my guess) and no blast in the face with a 19" gun. No wad strikes in the comp either. However, the shark brake has about the same recoil reduction to it, albeit, you'll get some wad strikes with some shells. The MONSTER Comp surprised me a bit. The recoil reduction was about 20% and the blast off the 19" barrel was very noticable. It felt like shooting an 8" gun with the Shark on it. Clearly, the longer brake was really putting the gas back, much more then the shorter brakes......and there were no wad strikes on it either.

stiletto raggio 20 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Tony, If I wanted to build a minimum-length non-SBS gun with the Monster comp on it, would you having the gas system shortened to a "mid length" like you do on your 12" guns, or a true shorty system as with the 8" barrels? I was thinking 13" barrel with a Monster to put it over 18". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 You could get it to run higher power ammo with just cutting it off and opening up the ports, but if you want to run light target birdshot you would need to move the gas block back about 2".

yooper 8 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 with the monster brake, how bad is the gas coming back into your face? is it worth the extra recoil reduction, or would it prove to be distracting? thanks for the info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
