Coast Guard muzzle brakes

I have one of these "Coast Guard" muzzle brakes, but it sure doesn't make my M14 this controllable on full-auto.

Anyone have a similar experience with these brakes. They are made by Smith Enterprises.

Most other videos only show the brake on semi-auto M14-M1As.

Sure looks like you handled that gun just fine. Practice makes perfect and remember FA is best with the GI Bipod.

That's not me, some guy at the Navy's Crane facility my CG brake doesn't work that well.

Oh, wonder if he had any type of compensator on the gun?

My M14 takes off like a race horse on full auto. 

Hard to believe a muzzle brake would reduce the muzzle climb that much.

The recoil is BRUTAL, I have taken videos of friends shooting mine with the Coast Guard brake and without it, there is not a lot of difference, muzzle rise isn't the problem it is the recoil.
