    Barrett QDL brake on a Model 99?

    Hello everybody. I own a 32" Barrett 99 in 50 BMG. I have read somewhere that replacing the OEM Muzzle Brake with a QDL would redirect the muzzle blast away from the shooter (or at least reduce it). Can anyone confirm? If so, my basic understanding of physics suggests that actual felt recoil...

    Griffin Armament Optimus 9 no blast baffle on a 308?

    Hello all. For the last few years I have owned a GA Optimus 9. Overall a decent purchase for my first suppressor. Where it fails miserably is on return to zero when I switch from the pistol/short configuration to the rifle/long configuration (with 308 GA says It requires an extension, the blast...

    Muzzle blast shield for 50 BMG, anybody?

    Ok folks, I am putting myself at your mercy, and I fully expect to be ridiculed for the rest of my life, but here is my problem: I sold my last 50 when it caused (or coincided with) the onset of a bad case of vertigo that left me laying on the floor one night waiting for the world to stop...
