Muzzle brake installers ??

Post by braud357 »

I have a TC Super 14 barrel in 7 TCU that I would like to have a muzzle brake installed. Thinking about going with the JP "howitzer" style brake. Any recommendations on gunsmiths that I can send the barrel to that would not take 6 - 12 months turnaround ??

DZ arms OKC.See if you can find someone closer. I can call Rick & ask on turn around time? Call Jim Fields he is using a new brake,he says has less recoil than the JP,and more streamline.
