Beast 1 Piece Brakes

Here is a little run down on how brakes work and why mine are more effective.....gases from a rifle typically exit the muzzle following the bullet but dissipate rapidly when they exit the barrel because of how light they are. A muzzle brake redirects those gases to reduce the recoil. Brakes that have baffles/holes angled forward are less effective then those that are 90 degrees to the bullet travel and those that angle back are more effective then those at 90 degrees. If you squirt a garden hose into your hand with your fingers barely bent it hardly deflects the water. As you bend your fingers more it "grabs" more water. When you make a full cup out of your hand it captures the most water. Muzzle brakes work the same way. My brakes are more effective because the ports are angled back towards the shooter capturing the most gas and using it to pull the rifle forward. While no brake is really ear safe, brakes like mine, can be even harder on the ears because of how the gases/concussion are redirected. They do not change the decible level of the gun but it changes where that noise goes, like changing the direction of the water in the example above, which appears to make the brake louder. I do not recommend shooting any brake without hearing protection as they WILL cause hearing damage no matter the angle of the ports. Loud is loud and guns are loud enough to cause hearing damage without a brake. The up side to having the ports out to the side or back towards the shooter is that game animals have a harder time locating where the shot came from and many times they will run towards you. If you want to shoot without hearing protection I highly suggest purchasing a suppressor as muzzle brakes are not hearing safe.

As a general rule, cartridges up to 45-50grains of powder burned (not capacity) are best with a 3 port brake. 4 ports are good from 50 to about 65-70 and 5 ports are the most effective above 70 grains. This doesn't mean you can't run a 3 port on a magnum, but you will lose effectiveness, or it won't reduce as much recoil as a brake with more ports. As you go really small, .750" and smaller, the 4 ports work better on the calibers with powder charges in the 40-50gr range because the port sizes get small enough where they can't vent off enough gases with only 3.

Examples of 3 port calibers are: .308 win, 7-08, 6.5 Creedmoor, .243 win, 22-250, etc

Examples of 4 port calibers are: .25-06, .270 win, 30-06, 6.5 SAUM, 7 SAUM, 7 Rem mag

Examples of 5 port calibers are: 7 RUM, 300 win. mag, 300 RUM, 338 RUM, 338 Lapua, etc.

These are the thread sizes I recommend on barrel sizes in these ranges:

Below .540" is 7/16x28

Between .540 and .630 is 1/2x28 unless you want to turn it flush and then it's .670" and up

Between .630 and .700 is 9/16x24 unless you want to turn it flush and then it's .750 and up

Between .700 and .850 is 5/8x24 unless you want to turn it flush and then it's .800" and up

Over .850" is 3/4x24 unless you want to turn it flush and then it's .950" and up.

Baby Beast

If you look at the picture you can see the difference in a 4 port Lil Beast, 4 port Baby Beast max port 5/8x24, 3 port Baby Beast max port 5/8x24, and Baby Beast 1/2x28 regular port. In testing on a 6.5 Creedmoor there is very little difference in the max port Baby Beast and the Lil Beast brakes. I will get the test video up soon. The Max port 1/2x28 brakes have the larger ports like the 9/16x24 and 5/8x24 versions and can't be turned down.

The 3 ports are 2.22" long, .750" OD, and are available in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, and 5/8x24. The 1/2x28 max port, 9/16x24 and 5/8x24 are no turn brakes and the 5/8x24 are .100" longer then the others. They can be tapered just not turned down. They weigh 2.5 oz and are $95.00 shipped

The 4 ports are 2.67" long, .750" OD, and are available in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, and 5/8x24. The 1/2x28 max port, 9/16x24 and 5/8x24 are no turn brakes and the 5/8x24 are .100" longer then the others. They can be tapered just not turned down. They weigh 3.0 oz and are $100.00 shipped

Super Baby Beast

These are available in 3, 4, and 5 ports and are .800" OD. They have the same ports as the Lil Beast brakes but are .800" instead of .875".

The 3 ports are 2.22" long and weigh 2.1oz. They are available in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, 5/8x24, and M15x1. These are 95.00 shipped.

The 4 ports are 2.67" long and weigh 2.6oz. They are available in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, 9/16x28, 5/8x24, M14x1 right hand, M14x1 left hand, and M15x1. These are 100.00 shipped

The 5 ports are 3.11" long and weigh 3.0oz. They are available in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, 9/16x28 ( I only made a small amount of these with the 4 ports), 5/8x24, and M15x1. These are 105.00 shipped.

Lil Beast

The 3 ports are 2.22" long, .875" OD, and come in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, and 5/8x24. This is the brake I typically recommend for the Tikka CTR, Remington AAC/tactical/varmint, and many of the Savages in non magnum short action calibers. They weigh 3.0 oz and are $95.00 shipped

The 4 ports are 2.67" long, .875" OD, and come in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, and 5/8x24. They weigh 3.5 oz and are 100.00 shipped.

The 5 ports are 3.11" long, .875" OD, and come in 5/8x24, 9/16x24, and 1/2x28. I also have some of these with a max port. That means the port size is maxed out to the .875" material they are made from. These can't be turned down like the normal Lil Beast but they get you nearly the performance of the Beast brakes in a much smaller package. They weigh 3.7 oz and are 105.00 shipped

All of these have about the same max tenon length of .760" to the first port and can be turned as small as .800".

Super Beast

I redesigned the 5 ports a bit to give better performance on the smaller magnums like the 300wm and 338 Lapua. If you look at the picture you can see the 3 and 5 ports have smaller ports then the 6 port. The 6 port is geared strickly towards the big boomers like the 375 Cheytac and similar. All of them are 1.235" OD. The 3 ports are 2.35" long, 5 ports are 3.52", and the 6 ports are 3.94". I only have a handful of the 3 ports in 3/4x24 done. I have about 40 blanks for 5/8x24 that I will make after the holidays. They are 97.00 shipped. I have the 5 ports in 5/8x24 and 3/4x24 in stock. They are 125.00 shipped. The 6 ports are available in 3/4x24 and 7/8x20. They are 140.00 shipped.

Mini Ti Beast

These are available in 4 ports with 7/16x28, 1/2x28, and 9/16x24 threads. They are .670" OD, 2.5" long, and weigh 1.1oz. They are 160.00.

Baby Ti Beast

These are available in 3, 4, and 5 ports with 1/2x28, 9/16x24, 5/8x24 threads. They are .750" OD. The weight and lengths below are for 5/8x24. The other thread lengths are .100" shorter.

The 3 ports are 2.22" long and weigh 1.1oz. They are 150.00

The 4 ports are 2.67" long and weigh 1.2oz. They are 160.00.

The 5 ports are 3.11" long and weigh 1.4oz. They are 170.00.

Lil Ti Beast

These are now in stock.

The 3 port Lil Ti Beast brakes are available in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, and 5/8x24. They are .860" OD, 2.22" long and weigh 1.6oz. They are 150.00.

The 4 ports are available in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, and 5/8x24. They are .860" OD, 2.67" long, and weigh 1.9oz. They are 160.00.

The 5 ports are available in 1/2x28, 9/16x24, and 5/8x24. They are .860" OD, 3.11" long, and weigh 2.3oz. They are 170.00.

Ti Beast

These are made from Grade 5 titanium and are available in 1.01" and .935". On the next run I'll change it up and rename the .935" version to Ti Beast CF to align with the Beast CF stainless version.

Both of them in 5/8x24 can be turned down as small as .900". The 3/4x24 version is only available in 1.01" and isn't designed to be able to be turned down.

The 3 port .935" Ti Beast are only available in 5/8x24 and are 1.9oz. The 1.01" Ti Beast are 2.5oz and available in 5/8x24 and 3/4x24. They are 150.00.

The 4 port .935" Ti Beast are only available in 5/8x24 and are 2.2oz. The 1.01" Ti Beast are 2.8oz and are available in 5/8x24 and 3/4x24. They are 160.00.

The 5 port .935" Ti Beast are only available in 5/8x24 and weigh 2.5oz. The 1.01" Ti Beast are 3.2oz and are available in 5/8x24 and 3/4x24. They are 170.00.

Slab Beast

I had some blanks so I made the smaller 4 port version first. The rest are still a few months out. These are 1.1" wide and about .873" tall. They weigh 5.1oz and the port height is almost the same as the 4 port Beast. It's actually .025" shorter but .112" wider. In testing they performed basically identical to a 4 port Beast on a 300wm. These are 107.00 and are available in 5/8x24 threads.
