while I agree that the Terminator brakes are awesome looking and works very well, the fact that they need to be "timed" during installation is a real pain. They need to come up with a self-timing option...

We did a test years ago when Barrett first started selling ammunition.
We tested the rounds at Circle S Ranch and we let the general public shoot the rifles not seasoned shooters.
K-P and Armalite both got the most likes.
K-P was hard to aquire but worth the wait Armalite was easy to aquire and cheaper with no wait at all.
The Vais brake on my latest heavygun has no sinus issues from the concussion but after 120 rounds of a FCSA weekend you feel beat down from the recoil.
I tell all 50 shooters to spray Afrin in the nose 1 hour before shooting to get rid of the headaches and sinus issues.
The skinny K-P brake is on a 375-50BMG or Mach V

I just found this and it has my attention
Looks interesting. I might shoot them an email and see if they have any plans for doing one for the AI.
I searched real hard. Where did you find M24x1 for the MRADELR? If that is in fact the factory spec, then have an extension built, threaded for whatever you need.
BTW, Barrett is normally 7/8-14 or 1-14 thread.
Bad link on the Terminator YT video, s/b
The AR50 brake is, as best I know, and have shot, the most effective at recoil reduction for .50BMG and variants. Alex, please try and find the VHP comparo article. Was the K&P compared?
State Arms/East Ridge builds a 3" fish gill but I have no idea if they would cut one with a metric thread. See http://www.statearms.com/rifles/accessories.php
US Arms showed what looked like a very efficient brake at SHOT, maybe 5 years back - the very, very big brother of their current offering of that design (volume sales opportunities most certainly moving the company to the current offering). Suggest you contact them (see https://www.usarmsco.com/product/talon-905-muzzle-brake/) to see if their "XXXL" model is available AND if it has ever been compared head-to-head to the AR50.
ALSO, look real hard at the buttpad on the MRADELR - and compare it to the Pachmahr 1.20" thick "XLT Ultra Soft Magnum Trap pad (https://www.lymanproducts.com/brands/pachmayr/recoil-pads/trap-pads/xlt-ultra-soft-magnum-trap). I'd definitely change to that pad (its ground to fit by the installing smith).

cast1 started this conversation referring to his AI AX50 ELR, the spec I posted was for an AI AX50 ELR, where did I mention MRADELR? They probably took the YT vid down for the reason I stated.
Solve 4 problems with 1 solution. The Thunderbeast .50 suppressor. It adds weight, reduces sound, muzzle blast and recoil. 
For just $6000
I built a 14x1.75” ti cab for a faction of that
Definitely a +1 on the K&P
