We don’t offer any brake for the Gunwerks cans, unfortunately.
Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

My rig with Omega 300 and RecoilX got a glamour shot at recent Clinton House PRS 2 day
Did some shooting with and without on a 8.5 lb 6mm CM Saturday. Friday night I watched Utimate Reloader's YouTube video where he found no difference on a 308 but a lot of difference on a 300WM, albeit with a different design but still a brake on the end of a suppressor. I tried this rifle both ways after watching that because I figured I wouldn't sacrifice the length and weight if it didn't help - but I thought it did help. Now, my 6CM has an 18" barrel (this is a hunting rifle), so I'm wondering if the difference in gas pressure into the suppressor of a 18" barrel vs a 24"+ makes the brake more effective? Seems to make sense in my pea brain?
I have a feeling you need more powder (gas) to make it effective. I would assume a lot of gas energy from a 308 vs WM has been neutralized in the baffle stack by the time it hits the brake part. An 18" creedmoor should have a lot of gas expansion left over to make use of the brake ports. At least, that's my theory.
I fan feel a difference on a 20# 6br with brake cap VS without. There is likely a more noticeable difference with larger cartridges, but the recoil reduction is still there.
Seems a little pricey for just low grade aluminum, should be titanium tbh.
Edit - I’m sure it’s not gonna erode away but frankly aluminum is cheap for a fairly pricey item. I can find brakes on eBay for 15 bucks made of stainless or carbon steel. With the variable jam nut there’s a bit more complexity but not much more. For a premium priced product it really should be grade 5 titanium, it won’t corrode like aluminum can, it will erode less and if there’s a graze it’s less likely to have serious damage and it just feels better when it’s made of a better material. If it was cheaper I wouldn’t complain but 185$ isn’t exactly cheap. Tbacs rr option costs 45$ more compared to their flat cap version and its titanium with an intricate locking ring and taper interface. This really should be a lot less or be titanium.
Does the da version have the taper interface?
I don’t have any photos of the back of one of these, but, how big is the hole? Because it should accommodate the bullet by AT LEAST .1 inches, so it should be .2 inches over bore. This is to reduce the chance of the tunnel effect where a projectile passes through a long tunnel and the gasses bounce off the projectile causing instability. Is that the case? The rr brake on the tbac is hollowed and the hole it travels through to get to the brake portion is pretty thin which is how it should be so you don’t have this effect take place.
