he has a few designs on that site. click home at the bottom. only odd thing is he has videos of them being used...on a 10/22. not the best platform to showcase a brake

I already received one from him. Yeah I also got mine from ebay. It seems he runs his business through ebay. I still have not used mine but fit and finish looks good. There is no insert like the Roedale brake (I have the Roedale for my Tikka Tactical .223). Also the through hole in the front has been bored out much larger than I really wanted around .350in. I would have prefered .33 or even .32 inches. It seems without testing I will not be able to tell if it is more efficient than the Roedale one but my guess is that it would be slightly less efficient at reducing felt recoil due to the larger hole and also no coned insert to help redirect the gas.

It looks a lot like the original 3 port Roedale brake or yaeger (spell check), which incidently was ripped off from Pete Lincoln. Should do the job but may not be quite as effective. Pete had studies done at a university that found the 2 port to be more effective. TMI? They look good. Can't wait for a range report.

I have one of his brakes on my 308 and love it. Its not the Roedale type but the one with the points on the front. It works great. I have no trouble spotting shots past 300. The brake is well finished and the threads are nice. It comes with a crush washer to time it correctly. For the $75 I paid I am very very pleased.

I shot next to Ross and that fucking brake blew what little hair I have left around, and it was very loud, later I was watching just him shoot, standing behind him the brake wasn't loud at all, and seemed very effective.

Yep. Good for shooter but no one likes spotting for me. LOL.
