What's wrong with Sako trg-42 original muzzle brake?

[Atanasius]

What's wrong with Sako trg-42 original muzzle brake? I don't see many trg-42s with Sako MB installed. Have to decide which one to buy. Thanks for your help.

Expensive and stupid big. They make a BO FTE look elegant and seamless to the barrel. lol I had an ops inc brake's thread opened and recut to 18x1 for a tikka tac, if i had a trg22 i would have done the same or get the new fat bastard in 18x1. Probably go that route for a trg42 also.

Nothing wrong with the brake except it just doesn't keep things quiet! Trade the brake for a nice suppressor and you will be much happier. Really.

I had no problems with mine except the cost

In my case the cost is not a problem. I already have one. It just needs to be timed.

Its a Great Brake and controls recoil well.. Other than the looks (which I Like) there is no problem.

It kicks up a bunch of dirt since baffles are pointed down instead of level. If you shoot a 308 or 300 win mag, it's the same brake as the 338, which makes it less effective.
