My 284 600 yard Light Gun shoots quite well, with one problem. Even at 17 pounds, the recoil gets a tad aggravating with the 180 Berger bullet at 2850.
So I decided to add a muzzle brake. But I needed to incorporate a tuner with my "snubber".
Here is what I came up with. Since the barrel was already threaded .900 inch 32tpi, the main tuner/brake is threaded to fit that. Just behind is a .950 inch 20tpi for a jam nut.
The hard rubber "snubber" is pressed on, with addition of epoxy to hold it in place. (This is my usual practice).
The tuner and jam nut are machined from a Unlimited Barrel drop.
I guess the big test will come when I see if it still shoots, while reducing the recoil to a comfortable level.
