Muzzle brakes

Leave.  Enjoy life.  You hate the city anyway....right.

Only a matter of time. Haven't decided on a post-retirement location yet, but it will come.

1) Gun Friendly
2) Remote yet not more than an hour or so from doctors & a big box shopping store.
3) Low taxes
4) Pleasant overall environment
5) Inexpensive land/housing

Sounds like the Arkansas to me.

The Milspin Cujo Muzzle Device looks okay if you want a muzzle brake/flash hider combo. But I think it's 1/8" too large in diameter to attach a bayonet over it. Plus being an open-ended flash hider is a deal-breaker for lots of people. If you're running through the woods/jungle/wherever, vegetation and whatnot can jam in between the prongs. That's one of the reasons the U.S. military switched to the A1 birdcage flash hider. The other reason was grunts using them to break the bands on cases of C Rations and bending the barrels. At least that's what lore says.

sorry for the delay in response
That was a 10" factory barrel threaded and pinned with a 7" vented extension.
It's chambered in 30 Herrett, one of my favorite plinking calibers, and attached to comply with ATF mandates for a minimum of 16" barrel length for use with buttstock.
The furniture shown is a fancy forearm that is specifically built for the contours of this barrel and it's permanently mated extension.
It was shaped from a block of spalted sycamore. (nice figure)
The buttstock was provided to me by a shooter in Texas that evidently was left-handed and my initial plan was to reshape for right-hand use.
It doesn't really preclude the use of a right-hander and I haven't yet been motivated to gamble it's design with my skill level.
It just looks real nice and has enough substance to make this rig nearly recoiless.
I don't know if it's by High Plains or Boyd's.
I don't stay with one chamber's design for long as I'm always intrigued by the next best bullet that I run across!
In the past year (since my initial post) I've probably been through about a half a dozen cartridge designs and my latest is this one.
It's a very unique barrel, probably manufactured by SSK or Bullberry in the early days of the Encore's design, it's a 26" stainless chambered in a 405 Winchester wildcat.
It accomodates brass of 303 British or 30-40 Krag's length (2.314") expanded to a straightwall and prefers a cast bullet of .412"
It shoots like the ringing of a bell and is as reliable and consistant as any barrel I own.
Coincidentally, it is shown wearing the same optic as it's predecessor while neither has the compact mounted presently.
It does wear a nice walnut buttstock that I shaped with a blonde Boxwood buttplate.

Up to this point I have largely been using 300 gr. JSP bullets but am interested in finding a mold for a .412" bullet between 265 gr. and 300 gr.

I could tolerate a spire point since I will use only in my single-shot rifle.
My email can be found in my profile.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Mike there may be 120 acres with two small houses on it for sale here soon:  https://www.google.com/maps/@35.5667308,-92.8377436,1170m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

I say may be up for sale.  I'm looking at 240 acres 6 miles pretty much due west on Wednesday.  We never got around to building a new house or a decent barn...but if i we want this other place I'll have to sell what I have!  It has a covered shooting bay with electricity with 100 and 200 yard targets.  There is a wild steel fox that people discover and shoot at 230 yeards every now and then.... 

You know you hate the city....

A muzzle brake permanently attached to a 15" Encore barrel usually qualifies it for buttstock use

Found my mold! A Lyman 412263 off the Fleabay;)
