I just bought a TBA 30p1 for my 300WM. Now that the muzzle will be threaded I would like to get a brake to have another option for a muzzle device. I know I will probobly never use it but it would be nice to have when the can is not in use.

My question is, what the most effective brake that does not need to be timed or indexed when installed. I am not sure such a product exists, but I figured that if it does, you guys would know about it.
 
Re: Best non indexed brake

I've had a great experience with the JP Brake with jam nut. It indexes off of a jam nut, and is easy to install/re-install. No tightening of the threads either, though I doubt that would ever be an issue.
 
Re: Best non indexed brake

I've got the rad brake and the pinch type muscle brake as stated above. And both tighten on the threads and I haven't seen any issues on the threads.
 
Re: Best non indexed brake

I love my FTE brake... I went through a few before I landed on that one...

Im not sure why you would have the brake OFF 95% of the time... I would say I have mine ON 95% of the time, actually, I havn't had it off with 1040 rounds and counting.

Also, a good smith can turn a threaded sleeve to protect the threads as well as hide the step in the barrel. Looks like normal. A friend of mine has this done.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jasonk</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Get the RAD Rapid Brake, not the FTE. The FTE is a heavy and big pig that requires the barrel to be turned down, it will look odd the 95% of the time that you don't have the brake on.

and more on the subject. The RAD cuts the weight down to a third of that of the FTE as well.

SOCAL, the OP doesn't live in CA and can shoot suppressed, per his post he doesn't even plan on using the brake that much.
 
Re: Best non indexed brake

The R&D wont pinch the threads, you only tighten it like an 1/8th of a turn. If that harms the threads, I'm scared to know what the bullet is doing to the barrel.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Muffled_Muzzles</div><div class="ubbcode-body">true story. Where does one get a RAD Brake. Google search gives me disc brakes for ATVs and bikes, and lots of links to other forums discussing the brake. I haven't been able to find a place to order it. </div></div>

email Randy off his site. There is a big thread here somewhere on it, so a google search of SH may help as well.
