As I am always on the lookout for ways to reduce recoil because of poor condition neck bones, I purchased one
of these for my 91/30. At first I was very happy with the recoil reduction, but after shooting a combination of
light ball and hollow-core low recoil ammo, something was amiss. Then I noticed the muzzle brake was gone and
nowhere in sight. Found it about 40' downrange and a little worse for wear, never did find the collar that holds it on.
The screw holes were a little elongated from the screws being ripped out. There were no marks where a bullet may
have hit the inside and tore it loose, which was nearly impossible since it slid over the barrel and is a very snug fit.
The only thing I can guess is the overpressure just blew it off, which also seems unlikely as the vent holes in the
brake are very large, as you can see in the photo. The biggest problem is going to be finding another collar, I will
drill the holes slightly larger and tap them and use longer stainless steel screws.
The brake worked well and now I just have to find, or try to make, another collar........
