What are all your thoughts on the 710 actions? im looking at one as a potential for a build

Re: Remington 710 action
Interesting project. In my opinion the space between the shroud and vents will be key. As the gas goes through the vents and encounters the shroud, pressure will build and slow the escaping gas, causing it to back up. The gas will always follow the route of least resistance so I'm thinking the brake will be made less effective. In my own head it's similar to recoil reduction from suppressors - not as good as brake but never the less has some effect. It will be very interesting to see how this goes. It never ceases to impress me how some people can just "put something together".

Just reading back a bit, a divergent vent will allow the gas to slow and pressure will increase... I just wonder how much pressure there will be... might pay to stand back a bit for safety's sake?

hi Chris.
was thinking about this today, if your test don't show the results you want you could maybe cut the shield back pass the first port (muzzle end) the blast shooting forwards from within the shield might offset the blast side ways from the first port.

Re: Remington 710 action
Yes Thomas I also had a theory of this where the first port would be 45 degrees and the rest at 90

Mate that looks like the duck's nuts, just whip one up and give it a crack. Maybe make the forward vents progressively more divergent going forwards. I'm thinking that progressively slowing the rate at which the gas exits, will give time for the shielding jet to "block" them.

Back in from testing the shroud worked but it did bolge slightly so you will need more space round the break as predicted. The recoil was about 1/3 more than the break alone. So for the extra bulk you would need your better off with a suppressor.

Re: Remington 710 action
Not sure if anyone checked the article in the link I posted on the Ruger Precision Hybrid brake. Here is one of the comments:

The brake decelerates and cools gas and dissipates pressure to cut jet or secondary recoil and to redirect sound waves away from the side of the muzzle and the shooter.

'The brake decelerates and cools gas and dissipates pressure to cut jet or secondary recoil and to redirect sound waves away from the side of the muzzle and the shooter.'

The design is a bit different from others I have seen and I just might order one for myself. Have never used a brake before, might be fun to experiment.

Re: Remington 710 action
I did look at this Bryan. The break will still be too loud to shoot with out hearing protection as is the forward port design. The other thing I noticed is it says it is listed for use with 308 6.5 and 243 calibers not sure weather to take this as "don't use with magnums" or not

Re: Remington 710 action
Hey Chris. It would be impractical but how about making a large dinner plate sized curved disc to see if that's enough to block the sound and pressure waves coming back to you? Actually maybe a rubber plunger for unblocking sinks n drains would be enough to deflect the noise? Crazy I know!! But hey. The Darleks used them in Dr Who! The suppressor probably is the best way to go

Re: Remington 710 action
Hey Warwick fun you should say as that was another idea floating in the old noodle. I was also thinking of a canvas sleeve to have on for snap shots and remove for longer shots. I think there is just too much going on in my head....

The inventor of the wheel probably had the same problem too all them years ago!
