    What is your favorite brake for .308?

    I am using a Holland's Gunsmithing Quick Discharge brake on my .308 long range rifle. Had some recoil issues when shooting prone, the rifle would hop from the ground totally loosing the target. Now with the brake, I can control it easily and I can re-acquire my target quickly.

    Latest picture. Finally got my hands on an original WW2 production pistol belt, so now I have the complete vintage pistol rig. The gun has a pair of near mint original Keyes Fibre grips that I found on ebay for a reasonable price.

    I was feeling that my gun needed a spring overhaul, so yesterday I received a complete set of USGI springs and a new un-issued firing pin. Replaced everything with no problems at all. Most of the parts were still covered in Cosmoline, I made sure to keep the Remington Rand plunger spring...

    I checked on ebay a few days ago, and they had a couple High Standard barrels and one Flannery. Check it out, maybe the price is right.

    Are you going to leave it like it is or thinking of an original barrel? I have seen several High Standard barrels for sale on ebay lately.

    That is a very nice pistol! I love the patina on the holster!
