To those of you who get all pissy about gun stuff, hit the back button on your browser now.
Thanks.
For the rest of you, I built a fun little rifle out of a Russian M44 that someone had previously butchered (I would never "sporterize" a bone stock Mosin). Here is a Slow Motion video of the muzzle brake I made in action.
Really shows how the brake works. This thing reduced felt recoil by about 60-70% (this is based on a very precise guesstimate.) Quite a fun build. I learned a bit about playing with big lathes and mills too.
Enjoy! ETA, the video was taken with one of those High Speed Casio DSLRish cameras, gets up to 600 -1200 FPS I believe. Pretty cool little camera. If I have $1,200 burning a hole in my pocket, I might just get one.
Here is a still from the range.
