![]() ![]() Nathan makes self timed brakes I know, just not sure if he makes the self timing versions for the really large calibers though. The T's were designed to be timed (no crush washer, etc) so that adds to the expense as well. Pretty sure you'll come to the same conclusion. Check out the sled tests from terminator & the Beast brakes (all available on ytube) pretty revealing really. Most of the others were real ugly mugly brakes too, the terminators are bad ass looking. ![]() So, to answer your question, never actually tried different brakes on my 338LM improved, but did shoot several others with otherwise impressive LOOKING brakes, but their recoil mitigation was lacking in comparison. If I was doing the build now, I'm pretty sure I'd go with the beast brakes due to essentially equal performance but WAY cheaper. Problem was he wasn't actually producing them for sale at that time yet & I needed a brake for my build. Having said that, I had watched the sled tests from Nathan at muzzlebrakesandmore (the "Beast" line) and his new 5 port 1 1/4" "super" Beast was neck & neck with the terminators at about 1/3 the cost. ![]() The sled tests videos from terminator pretty much confirmed what I was experiencing as well, the "T" line was out performing ALL the others. Once again, like the 375's, it shot so nicely I was sold on the Terminator line. Then I had opportunity to shoot my smith's LM with a T brake. I shot a bunch of LM's that were friends rifles before deciding to build one, they had a variety of brakes on them, bastard brakes, etc. What got me started on them was shooting 375 CT's with them and how soft they made those boomers shoot (T-5's). So think about that.Yeah, the "T" brakes are really expensive for sure. But it’s good enough that you’ll probably never need to buy another muzzle brake (unless you get another rifle).Īnd that makes it a better long term value than most other muzzle devices. So, yeah, the LANTAC Dragon SilencerCo ASR Muzzle Brake is expensive. You’ll thank yourself if you decide to get a suppressor later on. If you’re only interested in recoil reduction and improved control, get the Dragon anyway. If you want a good muzzle brake-but are most interested in getting an outstanding suppressor mourning system-get the SilencerCo ASR Muzzle Brake. If you want the best performance, with or without a suppressor, get the Dragon. I would sum up the decision between a different muzzle brake and the Dragon muzzle brake like this: However, for your money, you get a muzzle brake that looks cooler, offers more recoil and muzzle rise reduction, and perfectly fits SilencerCo suppressors. This muzzle brake is notably more expensive than the SilenceCo ASR Muzzle Brake. Here’s the last thing I’ll say about the Dragon ASR Muzzle Brake: it’s expensive. Your mileage may vary based on your barrel’s gas port size and gas system length.Īnyway, even though it may not be perfect, I will say that this muzzle brake performs just as well as most dedicated muzzle brakes, which is a step up over the SilencerCo muzzle brake. But it’s just not quite zero.Īlso, my 14.5 rifle has a Criterion Core Series Barrel with a mid-length gas system. After installing the Dragon, the felt recoil is MUCH softer. The felt recoil with this muzzle brake is super soft.īut I test fired my rifle with the original compensator before I installed the LANTAC muzzle brake. On the other hand, the Dragon doesn’t reduce recoil to zero, as far as I can tell. With its quick and effortless one-hand-on, one-hand-off attachment and detachment, you can seamlessly switch to shooting suppressed whenever required. If you mount the Dragon muzzle brake on a shorter rifle, you may get less than perfect muzzle rise reduction. This versatile single port muzzle brake is fully compatible with all SilencerCo ASR Mounts, offering various thread and caliber options to cater to your specific shooting needs. Keep in mind that I have this muzzle brake mounted on a rifle with a 14.5 inch barrel. DD WAVE MUZZLE BRAKE (1/2 X 28 TPI) The DDWAVE Muzzle Brake is designed to securely mount the DD WAVE suppressor to the host firearm. But it feels like this muzzle brake might actually reduce the muzzle rise to zero. It’s hard to gather any mathematical data. I will admit that the muzzle rise reduction might be perfect. I’m just not convinced that the Dragon reduces these forces to zero. Now, don’t get me wrong, the recoil and muzzle rise reduction are outstanding. However, LANTAC claims that the Dragon muzzle brake “reduces muzzle rise and recoil to zero.” Up to this point, the Dragon muzzle brake lives up to every claim that LANTAC makes about it. ![]()
