    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)...

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

    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...

    Suppressors TBAC Magnus

    I'm not sure, we have shipped a lot of them but they also sell fast. If you need help finding a particular model in stock or "about to be in stock", please email us and we can do some research for you

    Suppressors TBAC Magnus

    I don't think we have recorded data on the 6mm's, but Sam reports that with smaller-capacity 6's, the K and S work better, since they don't have enough gas left over in the full lenght one. Talking recoil reduction

    RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

    If your conclusion is to skip the 24 and go with the 14 and 3x, then that's quite useful, thank you

    Suppressors TBAC Magnus

    The only downside of the full-RR is the overall length.

    POI differences always depend on the barrel/gun harmonics, so that's the disclaimer. That said, it will "probably" be the same.
