First off, what caliber, because on anything bigger than about a .223 or so, it doesn't matter - muzzle brake or no muzzle brake, you ain't gonna be able to keep the scope on the target during the recoil.

Secondly, is this a hunting gun, range gun, or what? Brakes don't belong on hunters.

Yes. I'm fitting two right now actually.

Come back in a couple hours and I'll have a full photo spread of the process.

Holy cow, somebody actually spelled it "brake" instead of "break". You get 5 points just for that man.
