Hale muzzle brake for BAR

[nate129]

I recently stumbled across a video on YouTube showing the Hale muzzle brake for m1918:

 

It looks like the maker also posted about it in a board forum but has not been very active since 2017: http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21366

 

Have any of you tried this muzzle brake?

Nope, it was more of a solution looking for a problem.

I notice when shooting the second time with the brake, her stance is notably different?

Had she done the second shot in a bikini I think the sales result would have been dramatically different and she may have made more money off the video than brake sales!

So if you're going to the trouble of making a compensator for the BAR (a very limited market) why not just make a copy of the original Cutts as used on the Monitor? He might be able to sell more than 1 or 2 of those.

Part of the problem for simply getting a monitor (copy) muzzle brake is the cost.BMG parts had monitor muzzle brakes but unlike the Hale brake, they cost $600. I bought one for my faux monitor that Dan Block built for me.They work very well. Easy to see why Clyde Barrow liked to steal these.
