Great product
I just got this and took it to the range today. It was very easy to install. The Muzzlock worked like a charm and it did not loosen up. The Brake itself worked great on reducing recoil and did exactly what it was supposed to. The one thing I would definitely say is make sure the shooting situation you will use it in. The side directed gas is no joke, I was outside but it still sent shockwaves to my left and right about 15 feet or so. Definitely you will be hated if you bring that into an indoor range.

Love the muzzlok, no crush washer needed
Quality machining, and quality (even) finish. Love the muzzlok feature; don't need any crush washers or separate shims.

Gunner 3 Port Muzzle Brake w/Muzzle Lok for .223/5.56
FANTASTIC, easy to install, looks great, and reduced muzzle flip by at least 50%. Put it on an 18" Faxon Gunner barrel, used with a Fostech Echo II trigger. Made the rifle controllable at last. Great combination on a Safeside Tactical rifle built in Roanoke Virginia. Shooting Aguila .223, with another rifle shot 3 to 4 inch groups with this ammo at 100 yards. Now on this rifle with the Faxon barrel and break and a red dot with 3x multiplier I am getting 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards.

Great Muzzle Brake
The brake came within a couple of days of ordering. Installation was a breeze. Took it to the range yesterday and was pleased with the performance. Reduced felt recoil by better than 50%. Blasted shooters in the next bay so be careful who is next to you.
