There are a number of variations: .223/6mm, 6.5mm, .308 and .338. I’ve the 6.5mm model. 

From MDT: 

The MDT COMP Brake, designed from the bottom as much as be the most effective muzzle brake for aggressive shooters.

We started with two main design parameters, to redirect, or “break up” concussion in the direction of the shooter, a regular pain-point in muzzle brake gadgets, and to cut back felt recoil as a lot as potential. Via 16 months of improvement, testing, optimizing, extra testing, after which much more testing, we consider that we now have created the best competitors muzzle brake available on the market.

Spend all day capturing with the MDT Comp-Brake. This muzzle brake diverts the blast away from the shooter, offering essentially the most comfy capturing expertise by drastically decreasing concussion and felt recoil by as much as 67%.

Set up

I made a decision to make use of this brake on my 6.5 Creedmoor. For brake set up, I like to make use of a vise.

This time, I used my Orange Vise with Space 419 jaws. I used to be capable of clamp the rifle within the MDT ACC chassis proper in. I then set a degree on the highest of the scope cap and ensured it was degree earlier than turning my consideration to the muzzle. I added some TW-25B to the threads. With the nut all the best way in opposition to the brake, I screwed it on to see the place it landed. I then backed it off till it was shut, stole the extent from the scope cap, and tightened the nut till degree.

To start out, I left the compensator ports absolutely open and ensured the screws had been tight. 

Capturing

Whereas it’s troublesome to quantify, I do consider I felt a discount in concussive drive from a standard brake. To completely take a look at this, it could be greatest to shoot a complete PRS match, however I additionally collected knowledge utilizing our recoil rig. We began with naked muzzle and 140 grain Hybrid 6.5 Creedmoor manufacturing facility ammunition to get a baseline. Peak drive measured 745 lbs rearward.

Including the COMP brake lowered the height drive 41%, to 437 lbs. This makes a major distinction, particularly when capturing off a barricade.

I additionally in contrast the Space 419 Hellfire brake.

It’s extra compact than the MDT COMP Brake, however confirmed very comparable outcomes with 42% peak drive discount. Nevertheless, the Hellfire doesn’t have the tunable compensation the MDT COMP Brake does. 

Conclusion

Shifting ahead, I’d like to check the compensation and muzzle rise, however am nonetheless engaged on the best way to accumulate this knowledge. I’d like to do that with a naked muzzle, suppressor, and brake in addition to discover a option to reliably measure sound suppression.

Not solely was this brake extraordinarily nicely thought out and purpose-built, it’s supplied in a wide range of threadings that aren’t all the time simple to search out. MDT actually put numerous thought into what shooters want and it reveals.
