Muzzle break on 6MM

[careybirdwell]

I saw a really nice Remington 788 in 6mm at a pawn shop today. The rifle was in very good condition. The barrel had a muzzle break on it. Why would someone put a muzzle break on a 6mm. I'm not condemning it, I was really just wondering, does it have any other function that reducing recoil? Thanks

For a child or recoil sensitive shooter...I've seen more than one .243 with a break on it.

Nothing other than recoil. Sensitive shooter or wanting to be able to spot hits easily

I used to laugh at muzzle breaks on any rifle... my thought was that if you needed one, then you needed a smaller caliber. Then I bought a custom 7RM with one already on it. My tune has changed! If you want to really enjoy shooting, and really want to follow through correctly, a muzzle break is awesome. Yes, they're loud but that's more than overcome with the lack of recoil.

Threaded for suppressor.. thread on a muzzle break to sell it.

A muzzle brake can be used as a thread protector too. I am going to be making a brake and threading a 243 Win barrel for it in a day or two. It's a for a small female child. Shooting small calibers with brakes at a hoot as there is no recoil what so ever and hits can be easily seen.

Scratching some threads on a 243 Win. muzzle.

I put a brake on my 7mm and from the time my daughter was 10 she has used it. Shes a killin machine.

My dad had bad arthritis in his right shoulder, and had a brake installed on his .270. I think you could set that gun on a san**** and pull the trigger and it wouldn't move. If you have issues, get one.

I have a brake on my Colt m4 make for a real quik double tap when going through rapid fire drills

I shot one on a 22-250 that was used for prairie dogs and you could really see the impact very well !

Maybe he had a can on it

I run a harvester on my deer rifle; tikka 243. Has no recoil and is pretty quiet. I would use a brake but it's just too loud for me while hunting. I really enjoy the reduced recoil although it's not needed. Helps with follow up shots on hogs.

It may not be just a muzzle brake. Not for sure what you saw but there are a lot of items that are used as a muzzle brake and or directional sound projector.
In theory the blast and sound is directed forward in the direction the muzzle is pointed instead of the all around deflection. Some say it works great others say no difference. I have never shot a rifle equipped with one or heard the shot

Recently built my daughter a 22-250, I threaded the muzzle for suppressor but also made a brake for it to use as a thread protector. It's amazing with zero recoil and being able to spot bullet impacts.
