Author Topic: Muzzle Brake MFR (Read 457 times)

I am in search of the mfr of a couple of brakes I had installed some time ago. It was three letters like KDM or ADM or something. I am wanting a screw on cap to protect the threads when the brake is removed. I am hopping the mfr can provide same. Local shop where the work was contracted long gone.
Thanks
Jim

I'm not positive, but I'll bet you are talking about KDF. Try this site: http://gunresource.com/kdf-recoil-reducer.html Hope that works for ya!

Yes it was KDF, I will check with Brownells and see if they can help.
Thank you for your reply.

Most brakes are standard thread sizes so a cap should be no problem. What do you have the brakes on and how do you like them?

I have one on a model 70 win in 7mm mag it seems a little to long of a barrel. The other is on a model 77 Ruger in 338. I like them fine for developing loads and testing them on the bench really tames the recoil. I was thinking getting a "lead sled" for the bench and retiring the brakes.

KDF has threas sizes from 7/16x28 to 5/8x24. Depends on muzzle diameter and bore size. A cap would be a simple thing to make or have made if one's not readily available. Brownells handles the KDF line.

I talked to Brownells today and the tech said they (KDF) offer no caps in their line, but its a option when you order the brake. I will try and contact them. I am not wanting to spend an arm and leg. Shooting and hunting with the brakes is ok, my hearing is gone now so I use the Walker electronic muffs. The lead sled appealed to me as working on loads for a 16" 44 mag Marlin and this little toy will beat you up on the bench.

I've used cheater bags for years. Even a 30-30 has a cumulative effect. A good friend once rold me that while recoil didn't bother him, he could only stand so much fun! How do you like the GameEars in the hunting woods?
