RECOIL/RECOIL
TABLE | PRICE
The
Aquila Muzzle Brake
(see photos to the right)
Aquila
has developed a brake that will fill virtually every situation, from
heavy to light barrels contours, chambered in from Magnums to Ultra
Magnums. We developed and engineered our own brakes that we consider
to be one of the best available. These brakes remove the recoil
factor, allowing the shooter to concentrate on the shot.
A secret about muzzle brakes, most brakes on the
market work fine. We feel that our 4th generation brakes
work great due to a unique interior design that is engineered to take
full advantage of expanding gasses to reduce the recoil and not effect
accuracy.
Another important factor of the muzzle brake is
the installation and the manufacturing process. All of our muzzle
brake work is done on a lathe so that all of the components are true
and concentric with the bore. If the barrel has to be cut down, the
muzzle is machine faced and crowned so that the accuracy is not
affected.
After we install our brake, there is no visible
seam between the barrel and the brake. The brake appears to be part
of the barrel and is made from quality steel, to exact tolerances.
Please Note:
In order to do this, we have to refinish the barreled action in one of
our finishes. If it is stainless, we can either refrost it or polish
the barreled action to a machined look. The machine look requires
extra work and this service costs $50.00.
Brakes can be custom machined to fit specific
needs.
Take a moment to study the recoil table below.

Felt recoil depends on many factors other than what is listed on
this table, such as the shape of the stock, semi-auto vs. bolt
action and/or a good butt pad. If you have looked at many of these
tables, you will notice that I used hot loads to calculate the
recoil. Comfortable recoil is really up to the shooter, but as a
rule of thumb, 0 to 13ft lbs is comfortable and does not cause
flinch. From 14 to 15 ft lbs is probably tolerable and may cause
discomfort if you're target shooting all day. Anything above 15ft
lbs should have a brake to make the rifle bearable to shoot.
This table should only be used as a guide to assist you in
determining what options you may want on your rifle.
