You need to send that brake to me for extensive testing...

May get one jigged up to fit the A5, and the 870's, and the 37....

I believe that the upper shot was the first one in each double - ie, the brake is forcing the barrel down placing the second shot lower !!!
Could also be the action of the bolt moving forward and stopping and your reaction to the recoil.

Looks nice, not sure if I would want one, the amount of PSG/Multi-gun I do most likely will determine that for me (especially if the boss found out I bought another gun O:-) ).

I don't think so.

It feels a lot better with the brake - its the brake doing the work.


The recoil has occurred BEFORE the bolt starts its forward travel.

I was thinking about the working parts hitting the breech face at the end of their forward travel just as you are about to squeeze the trigger for the second time.

Interesting point.

Have to say though, having fired it unbraked and then braked, the only variable is the brake and the recoil is less rearward and almost none upward.
