JDeko 792 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 For me I've seen that the Feds might call the thread protector a "muzzle device" and that'd mess up my 922r after I convert my Saiga. I figure if I'm going to get a thing to put on my muzzle I might as well get a good thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Listen to fitty cent, he knows and has tested them. Both devices he suggested are U.S. Manufacture. My best friend took her shotgun course with an S12 with no break. But it is better to have one for prolonged abuse. Have the Tromix monster on my S12, the G01 on the Vepr12. Question is do you want something that's poky or not? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Not pokey. Pokey is a big deal breaker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Tromix is better imho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Stabby brakes are just a bit too much for me, makes the shotgun look like its trying too hard. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDeko 792 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Fair enough. I'm similarly tempted to just get a DPH flash-hider to fulfill that 1 compliance part [or potential compliance part at least] since I don't mind the recoil really. I just have it bad where I want to get the 100 dollar brake because its so uber-special-awesome. I'm miss the shoulder hickies though if it works too well. Good kinda sting.

gunfun 3,931 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 If you are doing that, get the one that takes chokes. Flash hiders do nothing for recoil:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMIGl4sq0cM&index=5&list=PLSq6wScgUXRzPU1TmRs54WNHY0719c1ua 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Recoil is fun, ya bunch of wimps. Wa wa wa . Recoil is fun. Smooth is fun too. Anyone who can handle a gun well with much recoil handles the same gun better with less recoil. Performance is fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'm not really planning to hunt deer with it so I don't know if I'll ever need a choke since I have no shame and plan to mud-punt Canada Geese when I hunt them. If anything I wish it would pattern sooner for home defense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 To each his own. her own... whatever. Anyway, chokes are kinda nice to have for everything. I use #4 with a full choke. In indoor house ranges, the practical size of your groups are very similar. once you get past 10 or more yards though, the chance of keeping all the 22-27 pellets on the bad guy goes way up. nice when there are neighbors. It also gives a longer practical range. Similar things apply to the more popular (though inferior) 00 Buck most people use. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jdtravers 637 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) No individual can possibly say what the best muzzle brake out there is. Recoil is perceived by each individual. Also, what feels good one day, might feel like shit the next because you are mentally/physically not into the gun. Also, you may weigh 350 lbs and what works for you won't work for a 160 lb guy. What works on a stock gas block shotgun is having some weight on the end and just as importantly have the shotgun properly tuned to the shells you are shooting. Basic physics, more weight equal less felt recoil. Gotta find a balance that works for you and if you like it and you think it makes you a better shooter, then thats what you want. I designed the JTE Brake to be the best balance of weight, looks, for a stock gas block gun and porting for when the gas block is moved back. Just my 40 years of real world and competition shooting experinece, feed back from professional shooters, and what I personally thought was the most functional. Tony/Tromix builds some nice brakes also. He knows what he is doing. This muzzle brake debate has been going on since day one and I guess it is just fun to bench race it.

JDeko 792 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 For some strange reason do muzzle devices take a gun out of "sporter" classification? I need to know before I buy one of the sale ones from CSS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Not on the shotguns, unless you live in a very stupid state. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
compshootfl 40 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I use the JTE on my Vepr 12....It works, you can argue all day with me but in my real use in competition...it works...nuff said.

Terminator03 18 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well, I certainly hope the CSS GK-01 is as good as everyone says because I ordered one a couple days ago while it was on sale. I have a Krebs flash hider which I have liked so far, but recoil has never been much of an issue for me, so this should be an improvement no matter what. I want to shorten the barrel anyway, so since I need to perm whatever I put on, I decided that the CSS one looked really cool and most say it handles recoil well so I felt it was a good all around choice. Not sure if I'll bother with chokes yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I bought the Mini-Monster whilst it was on sale too... I'm supposed to be staying my money TT~TT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vance665 225 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Are you guys using these brakes for 3 gun? They look interesting but im not sure how usefull they would be. Edited June 15, 2015 by Vance665 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Got my Mini-Monster today. Is there supposed to be thread left over on the barrel after screwing it on or do I just fail in grip-strength and torque? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Put on some plumber's tape first. screw it as far as it will go, and still face the right way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
