Making a Muzzle Brake Part 1

[@bstanga]

what are you using for cutting fluid @27:40? Brian

[@MikeDittmanmachining]

Molly-d heavy cutting oil. Usually I mix it with Ace brand threading oil but it works really well by itself too.

[@Curtisitruc1982]

Hey man, I just seen a 5 year old video on TAOFLEDERMAUS on the slip on R.E.M. 870 muzzle brake Do you have a website ? Are you still making theses ?

[@hotspur4237]

Witt Machine has a slip on muzzle break.

[@seal5215]

Hello .What's the name and the model on lathe Your are using in this video? Thank You!!!

[@MikeDittmanmachining]

It's an old Atlas Craftsman.

[@earnestsmith5609]

Hey Mike How much would you charge to make a Custom Custom Muzzle Brake

[@MikeDittmanmachining]

Depends on what the brake is for, the material, and how complex the design is. They start at $80.

[@earnestsmith5609]

+Mike Dittman it's kind of hard to explain but I will try. It's like the A2 Flash Hider but without oval shape holes. um instead of the oval shape holes it would be like an S shape 3 on each side. the S shape coming from the Samson Free Float HandGuard at www.samson-mfg.com it's on the Evolution HandGuard but then the 2ed part would be to have a round part over top of it like the one's at www.kineti-tech.com

[@MikeDittmanmachining]

I can cut slots and hole patterns but I do all my work with manual machines so I don't know if I could do the shapes like that.

+Mike Dittman if can my email is [e-mail] and that way we can better communicate

[@earnestsmith5609]

+Mike Dittman if you can draw some custom designs with a number beside each one and email them to me and I will pick out which one I like best if that's okay with you

[@fatkidenterprises6746]

What material did you use for this?

[@asdfg2560]

4140 would be the most common material to do this with

[@deeremeyer1749]

Is all that cheaper than buying a legal barrel?

[@MikeDittmanmachining]

DEEREMEYER1 it was cheaper than buying a second barrel. He was originally going to build an AR pistol if I remember correctly. Then changed his mind.

[@andrewc9849]

Where do you get your blanks?

[@MikeDittmanmachining]

I make them. I buy the stock in five foot bars and usually spend a day getting blanks turned every few months.

[@thefreese1]

Did I just watch you mill that slot with a drill bit instead of a end mill?

[@MikeDittmanmachining]

No it's a 1/8" ball nose end mill.

[@thefreese1]

lol.. looked like a drill from that angle ...nice job

A Federal Agency that Associates a Protected Right (Arms) with vices like “Tobacco” and “Alcohol” is Infringement by its very definition.

[@123say]
