Gunsmithing Machining muzzle brake into barrel

[wadcutter]

Integral muzzle brakes,
anyone use a muzzle brake that is machined directly into the end of the barrel rather than the normal screwed on type.

I have a 1.25 inch straight taper barrel that I was thinking might be a candidate for just such a integral brake.

Any ideas?

I like threaded brakes, you can make sure the crown is perfect and you can take them off and clean them
