My Google skills are lacking apparently. Is there a 90 degree, self timing brake that has an OD of 1.100” - 1.250”?

Thanks!
 
ACE brake fits that criteria if you include the collar in the OD measurement.

Thanks for that info. I didn’t know about them. It may work well. I tried a straight 1.250” contour and I think the small brake looks weird.
 
Terminator aren't 90 degrees but designed to reduce concussion at the shooter, they do numerous profiles, may be worth considering?
 
Don't let self-timing limit you if you can't find one large enough.
Assuming a cylindrical brake, easy enough for any smith (or any machinist for that matter) to simply face brake as needed to get it to clock correctly- it's quick and easy.
