Mosin Nagant M44 Muzzle Brake/Bolt-On

While based on an excellent muzzle brake, this item is absolutely NOT recommended for actual use. If you want to dress up your M44, then this'll work fine, but this item has multiple issues that severely limit it's usefulness.

First, it appears to have been turned on a lathe operated by a novice machinist at Political Re-Education and Forced Labor camp #707. Every surface shows tool marks, and every edge is sharp. But what do you want for just $10?

Second, the machine screws that hold the collar that secures the brake to the muzzle ARE FAR, FAR TOO WEAK!! After firing just 3 rounds, the brake was creeping forward and bending these tiny screws. They simply are too weak to withstand full power muzzle blast! If I had fired the remaining 2 rounds it likely would have been ejected downrange, with unknown damage to the sight base, etc.

Third, installation of this brake prevents deployment of the bayonet. Therefore, it is not recommended.

First of all, I was hesitant on buying this product because of the super low price and free shipping (I worried it would be of poor quality), also due to the lack of reviews and the variation in ratings I was not sure what to think. So, I finally decided to buy this product since I figured it was so inexpensive that even if it did not work, at least it would look pretty cool. However, I am completely blown away by this product.

Shipping was super fast, and installation only took 60 seconds or less. It came with everything to install it (allen wrench) and fit perfectly onto my M44 Mosin Nagant without having to alter or modify the muzzle brake in any way.

Just shot my M44 today and I was surprised at how well this reduced the recoil. My girlfriend shot my rifle before installing the muzzle brake and only shot a few rounds. Today, she and some other friends loved shooting it because it did not hurt one bit.

Highly recommend buying this...Read more

This muzzle break worked great while it was still in one piece. It really did reduce the recoil by about 30%. The only trouble is it blew off while i was shooting and upon inspection it was the weak screws that got sheared in half. So buy at your own risk.
