This is my latest BARRET .50 bmg styled replica brkes. These are made for the .920" bull barrels. Unlike the first style I was making these are all Steel, and not Aluminum. These new brakes are fabricatedfrom several peices, and feature true 30 degree swept back chambers. Also instead of holding the brake on with a setscrew, the new brakes have a split clamp style collar which holds much better and tighter. These are my best brakes yet. I will start making these for other barrels, and calibers. I will need a week-2 weeks lead time on the new brakes.

















These are some of my other brakes and flash hiders for the AR-15 family of rifle. They also work on other .22 cal rifles with threaded barrels.

Here is our M-230 inspired muzzle brake. This brake is a scaled down version of the M-230 muzzle brake found on Apache fast attack helicoptors. This gun fires the 20mm round at a high cyclic rate. Our brake is made from 60-61 t-6 aircraft grade aluminum. We make these in raw or natural finish, and also in a black powdercoated finish.







Here is our Barrett .50 bmg sniper rifle inspired muzzle brake. It is shown mounted to a custom Ruger 10/22 with .920 heavy bull barrel.
