I have shot with 2 different, a Norwegian company suppressors, that has a muzzle brake end of the suppressor.
This one is the old version, that has a normal type of brake ports on side, only PITA was these ports timing, there is a nut on the suppressor thread, that you need to tweek and then tighten it, when the ports were equal to side, but then when you did that, the suppressor did moved a bit, and having the ports 50/50 on each side, it was a nerves wracking job.

The new version of this suppressor has a no timing on the brake, and i can not say, that it is a brake no more, kind of a
muzzle device that blast the gas 360 degrees, it does work, but not if you do shoot from the prone, it does throw the dirt and
stuff all over, including to the shooter face, this is not good, and it should be a PRS suppressor.

I did received a prototype from a Finnish manufacturer, i did shooted once, and it needs to go back to the design table, it was a
proto type anyway, but there were only a ports in one direction, it was made like those 9mm carbines, that the ports are up, and
no other ports.
6.5 Creedmoor etc has so much more gas and pressure coming from the suppressor, that the brake is pushing the barrel downwards, you really can feel that, it was like a punch, the rifle did almost like jump a bit of the ground
I hope that i am receiveng the package from South-Africa at next week.
APW Warbird suppressor that has a muzzle brake on the can, it is designed on PRS shooting, and i have seen videos of it, and it does look good, killing the last recoil, also moving the gas out of the field of view, so that the vision thru the scope is clear all the time.
In Finland, i hope that some one would also start doing these braked suppressor, for sure these are not for every one, but those
who want´s to have a can, that has a brake, that will make the rifle as stable as it can be, who would not want that??
Since the suppressor is reducing the sound pressure, the brake on the suppressor is not making more sound to the shooter
ears, i kind of like that there would be a option, you could mount it by your self, if you need it, and if not, you would not need to get one.
But then again, how easily it could be mounted, there are so many type of people, some of these can do it right, but then there are
also people who do not know what they are doing, even they do think so by them self, and then the excidents can happen.
So would it be best that it is mounted in the factory, or a service on the local gunstore, where some one who has the license from the manufacturer, that can do it and do it right.
PS: sorry if my English is not the best one, but i hope you do get the point of my writing.
