Re: Why I hate your fucking muzzle brake
26Call it the "Assault Weapon Community Noise ordinance" or some such thing.
As someone who was recently at a 25 yard, indoor range...I can attest to it being some shit.ICanEatFiftyEggs wrote: Sat Apr 28, 2018 11:07 pmEspecially when we're at the 25 yard, indoor range, and they're shooting .308, and we're at the end of the range against the wall.

Cleaning a "ported" barrel is a major pain in the pants.senorgrand wrote: Sat Apr 28, 2018 8:04 pm You know, this has me thinking. I'm window shopping for a used 44 mag wheelgun and it seems more than a few are ported and some even have brakes. Are these much louder too? I think I'd prefer a plain muzzle, but sometimes you can't be too picky when a good used gun comes along.
No it is Ruger Super Redhawk 7.5 in and Ruger Alaskan saying over and over.Rickoshay wrote: Tue May 01, 2018 8:01 pmCleaning a "ported" barrel is a major pain in the pants.senorgrand wrote: Sat Apr 28, 2018 8:04 pm You know, this has me thinking.

Also it is of little to no use in my opinion. YMMV

I hear you loud and clear due to my $6000.00 hearing aides. Maybe Uncle’s B-52s doing low level touch and go over my house or the Federal Q2 sirens on the fire trucks right over my head with 120 decibels. Later the ambulance sirens and shooting without proper protection. It could also be the leaf blowers and the high pitch squeal of edgers and trimmers. These may be the causes my hearing loss.? But it could also be the forty years of marriage with the selective hearing loss and the “ Honey, what did you say” that brought about the need for hearing aides.Jaywalker wrote: Tue May 22, 2018 2:04 pm The few ported rifles at my range drove me away from rifle shooting. I'd see a ported rifle and I'd start readying my stuff to depart, and it got so I dreaded even planning to go. I don't believe I've shot a rifle now for about nine years, and that was before the muzzle brake ("muzzle break" is something else) craze.
Thanks to Uncle Sam and the VA I now proudly sport two state-of-the-art hearing aids. Life isn't perfect - I still can't tell what direction high-pitched sounds come from, and though I say "what?" a lot less, radios or other conversations completely jam the conversation I'm having.
It's not all firearms, however. I lost a good part of my hearing - the high part - in Uncle Sam's jets, which is why he's paying for my hearing aids. Firearms are becoming something that I do now just often enough to maintain a level of proficiency with my carry weapons - that and a couple of .22 pistols for fun.
Let me urge you that still avoid saying, "what?" to leave the area when a concussive noise is noticeable, even if you've planned the trip for some time. Walking around in a humming haze and being unable to follow friends' conversation is really no fun.
A thread protector will work just fine without increasing the noise at all...Marlene wrote:Just got a rifle with threaded barrel. Might have to find the goofiest trumpet funnel available.
