Gunsmithing Badger Ordnance has a New FTE Brake

[Lowlight]

Saw this on Facebook today...

A nice bridge between the full size FTE and the Micro, which doesn't have the screw capture.

I like that, looks like it would match up to a varmint contour fairly decent.

Looks like the clamping portion is threaded, if so it will make the install easier as opposed to the required barrel contouring on the standard FTE.

 

[Bradu]

Facebook said this eliminates contouring the barrel, just have to have a threaded barrel now. I can't wait to get one and try it out.

 

[Trigger Monkey]

Well....shit....I thought I wanted a Micro but now I'm not sure.

I ordered one from Triad on Sunday and it showed up today, have to love the service of the Hide's vendors. Nice brake and looks good on a varmint contour barrel, now I just need to take it out this weekend and see how it does

Anyone have pics on barrel with contour info?

 

[Bradu]

If I remember I will get pics tomorrow night with it installed. If I remember it was right at 1" diameter when I measured the brake with the calipers so I think it would look great on an MTU contour.

 

[biner626]

I'm thinking it would look good on the M24 as well.

 

[Hennig]

Bah, would have loved one instead of the full sized I got. Ah well.

Does the exit hole stil need to be bored?

 

[ajwcotton]

no they have 2 diameters .223 and .308. I guess if it was for something 6.5 you could get the .223 and bore it for a closer fit though.

There are a few more photos if you follow the link:

Badger Mini FTE Muzzle Brake (Removable)

This is a clamp on style brake and can be easily removed for cleaning or installation of a Suppressor. Ports are to the sides to reduce ground blast.

Size is about 20% smaller than the standard FTE.

Please consult a competent gunsmith with questions about instillation and use.

SKU# BO249-81 is 5/8-24 for .22 cal
SKU# BO249-83 is 5/8-24 for .30 cal

I just put a micro on my 16" LMT MWS .308. Compared to the factory A2-style fash suppressor, the micro FTE substatially reduces recoil as I'm able to stay on target at 100 and watch impact. I had the brake timed so I don't use a crush washer and it looks great as well.

sweet I have an MTU contour hopefully it fits just right.

Is there any downside using the .308 version for a 6.5 barrel vs boring out a .223? Does the brake lose effectiveness going wit .308?

What is the reason for the Allen bolt across the bottom?

So you don't have to time it.

My question as well. Also.....For a .264" what diameter should the hole be bored to? Whats the suggested clearance?

does anyone have pics of the micro and mini on a Rem Varmint Barrel? Im trying to figure out which would work out better.. Thanks

Anyone have pics on barrel with contour info?

Just saw this post. Any pics?

 

[z71rat]

Gonna be a tough choice between this one, and the Ross brake I had my eye on... Well crapola...

[z71rat]

I have not been able to find any specs on the barrel diameter that will fit inside the brake. Can anyone check with a caliper and tell me what the inside diameter happens to be??

Thanks in advance!!
