Where did you order from and do they have any left ?

Did you get the barrel cut and muzzle brake fitted or a bolt on brake added ?
Got my friendly local rfd to order me one from Rusmilitary, not sure on how many they've got in but they had what I wanted in stock

I went for the longer barrel with the clamp on brake. I'd rather have the choke and try it with the extra length, than commit to no choke and find it doesn't work for me!

Just thought I'd update this, the gun came in today and I took it out for a spot of rabbiting. Really nice to shoot, although the controls are slightly different to those of my M2 so it may take me a little while to get used to what does what.

Mutiny, nice gun !!! couple of questions..
what`s the balance like with the brake on ?
what`s the recoil like with the brake ?
what cartridges did you use, length etc ?
what`s the length of barrel from the gas tube to end of brake ?

Reason I ask is because he has only 1 brake left coming in and I`m not sure if I want it put on.

Thanks

Brake makes a big difference.

Oleg has a pic on his website of my first ever slug double tap with the brake.

Thanks! I'm really pleased with it so far

Given the overall weight of the gun I can't see the brake making any noticeable difference in the balance of the gun

The recoil? Its not worth mentioning, there is barely any...... It recoils more like my .223 than a shotgun

Err, I think all 67mm but I just filled magazines with whatever I had lying around. 30 & 32 gram loads of 6 1/2 mostly

got some 52g #4 I'd like to run through it as well

Barrel is 19" from the end of the brake to the picatinny rail on the underside of the barrel.

Get the brake.
