What is the advantage of this product (with spiral of holes) vs. its brother with "standard" muzzle brake? And visa versa.

physics, the spin caused by the rifling , holes more closely follow the spin pattern. That's my guess.

I have both and I cannot tell any long range difference. The sound from the bullet is directed down range and not to the sides and there is a difference in report. I think it got me to think about other additions for the rifle and I have a few that are really cool.

It works just fine with suppressors or muzzle brakes - as ling as they are not permanently attached - just remove them boefore you use the boresight device. Operates with 3 stacked batteries

This muzzle brake is made to clamp onto the barrel using the front sight base to prevent it from being eventually pulled off by the gases from firing. I never tried this unit on a barrel without a front sight. You may consider having it silver-soldered in place, which would still cost much less than having the barrel threaded for a screw-on type brake. But, to just clamp it on, it may work itself loose after some firing. I just don't know for sure.

I didn't use a torque wrench to install it. I just used the crush washer and made sure the alignment for the top holes was correct. I have this brake installed on 2 ARs and both of them had different amounts of force to align them. I have shot several hundred rounds through each of them and neither brake shows any signs of movement.These are LOUD though so make sure anyone with you doesn't stand to the side. Directly behind doesn't seem to be too bad but you can really feel and hear the concussion if you are a couple of feet to either side.Of course, hearing protection is critical with this brake installed.On my rifles the muzzle barely moves and I can stay on target easily for follow up shots.Enjoy,Rick I didn't use a torque wrench to install it.

Easy enough to install, but I can't compare it to the ballistic model. To give you an idea, the Magic Devil products, for whatever reason, are more difficult to install.

No, the Stevens has one pin hole, while the Remington has 2 pin holes, if you drill a hole to make it fit, it will mess up the trigger group and make the weapon useless or dangerous.

I'm glad I read these answers, because I've been tearing apart my bench for the past 30 minutes looking for the muzzle guard I don't remember being there when I removed the rod from the package. I don't know why I care so much, I've never been able to effectively use one while my hands were busy holding the firearm and the cleaning rod. ;)Nonexistent guard aside, this rod is the bomb! I should have bought this years ago. I'm going to order the 36" rod for my rifles. I'm sick of fighting with the Otis cables.

you could cut the ported piece off just past the redirect threads and do away with muzzle brake end. looks like the makings for a silencer. looks real good on a Ruger 22-45 MKIII with threaded barrel

As long as the muzzle has a 5/8x24 thread pitch this will work fine. The 300 blackout is 7.62 in diameter which will leave plenty of room and the brake will work fine.

I am sorry to say that I do not have an answer to that. The package, however does contain three (3) pins which will make for a clearly smoother and quieter experience (that bolt slap at blowback). I have shot hundreds of times with the current pin with no significant wear. Fortunately when trade out becomes necessary, it is a simple procedure. Inexpensive, simple to swap out and functional-as far as this shooter is concerned-works for me......

Almost none. It compensates for muzzle rise. It also works great on reducing a dust signature from the prone position. Mine is on an RPK and works great for the price.

Im not sure to be honest, it did not fit my US barrel because of the threading was all messed up. Personally check out other muzzle brakes NOT made by tapco. Damage industries is a good place to start. For an SKS they have pin on muzzle breaks, i wouldn't thread the barrel

It extends the beavertail by about 1/4". It also adds about 1/8" to either side of the grip, which I found made it more difficult to control my XD subcomp. Works much better on the service and tactical models, imho.

Yes. That's the exact set up I have. I mounted this and it have a huge difference. Without the pad, the recoil was pretty harsh since the rifle is so light.

You might as well just buy a slip on recoil pad as to waste you time and money on an ill fitting piece of junk. If you do put it on, you'll want to take it off when you are done shooting. The rifle is an inanimate object but is still a piece of history and deserves more respect than to have that ill fitting pos put on it.

No reason at at. Exit "funnel" hole is 10mm/40cal so you should have enough clearance (But for safety sake you should double check this with the exit hole of other trusted 9mm muzzle devices first)

It is rather big, much larger than a .223 projectile. However, the brake works awesome and if you don't like it you've only got a little bit of coin invested in it.
