I will soon have access to both a lathe and milling machine, so my first project for them is to fabricate a muzzle brake for a Mosin-Nagant M91/30.  How to build it looks fairly straightforward, but I have no clue about the size and angles of the ports.  Since there are a lot of very sharp people here, I was hoping someone could point me to resources to figure out those important dimensions.

Thanks!

My recommendation would be to reverse-engineer an existing design to fit your application.

willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."

Thread barrel 1/2X28 (double check), pick muzzle brake of your choice.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Buy reloading equipment, load 150 gr bullets at 200 fps slower. Save recoil, save money, no changes needed to your rifle, there will be no noticeable difference out to 500 yards.

Use your new equipment to build steel receivers for 10-22s and 795s. I'd buy one.

I have removed my email from my profile to stop the mod reports. If you need a Libertyseed scheduled you will now have to contact me on the Libertyseed forum.

Don't forget the appropriate paperwork if you are making receivers to sell.
