    Suppressor with a brake on it, does it help or not?

    It will still work quite well.

    Suppressor with a brake on it, does it help or not?

    The way to say that would be: Device B has 2.43x the amount of recoil energy vs. Device A. But bottom line, yes, the RR brake does have a dramatic effect on recoil energy compared to the same suppressor without. Also note that that particular graph is data from 300WM. Data from 308 is a...

    Suppressor with a brake on it, does it help or not?

    That's not now "reduction" works. If a bare muzzle has an amount of recoil energy that is normalized to 100 units, then: Device A has a 65% reduction, so it has 35 units of recoil energy. Device B has a 15% reduction, so it has 85 units of recoil energy. I think you are trying to calculate...

    Suppressor with a brake on it, does it help or not?

    Yes, you are reading it wrong. ETA-- you are dividing 65 vs 15 and turning into a percent and calling that reduction. That's not how any of that math works. What you are reading as "65" and "15" are the percent reductions in recoil energy from a bare muzzle (per the legend on the left)...

    A lot. In this graph the RR models have the brake on the end. ETA: Also, the Ultra50 recoil reduction compared to a bare muzzle on 50BMG is 65% reduction.

    Suppressors Best thread locker for muzzle devices?

    Hit with a small butane torch ("kitchen cooking torch") briefly until it melts. Remove with wrench.

    Suppressors Best thread locker for muzzle devices?

    We recommend red Loctite #272. High temp / high strength. Rocksett is not really stronger than blue Loctite, which is why it came off.

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I use them in both small frame and big frame AR's (different versions for each), however, I was thinking of small frame when I posted.

    I switched over to the JP SCS over 15 years ago and haven't looked back. It works great in everything

    Suppressors Best way to clean heavily fouled TBAC can ?

    We don't make any alternate things to put in the RR's place for reasons I have explained in detail in other threads.

    Suppressors Best way to clean heavily fouled TBAC can ?

    No, that is incorrect. The RR brake comes off. The RR technical manual shows how to remove it. We have videos online showing it being removed, re-installed, and how to clean the tapered interface between it and the can.

    Suppressors Mp5/sp5/ap5 what silencer!?

    My favorite for the MP5/MP5K, size no concern, is the Magnus-375.

    A more quiet suppressor on a 50 BMG rifle ?

    If you are going to shoot a lot of 50 from bolt guns, the only reason to NOT suppress it with an Ultra 50 RR (or another can that has similar overall sound & recoil performance... if any exist??) is for concerns of cost, or weapon overall length. The difference in shootability is dramatic...
