Reviews & Ratings for JL Billet V.P.R..308 Muzzle Brake — 8 reviews — Page 1

Quality construction, fit and looks. Yet to shoot, but expect great prrformance as well.

Haven't used this yet but the build and look is A+- JL Billet makes unique and amazing products.

This muzzle brake handles felt recoil very well. Also, very easy to install.

Tried out this muzzle brake by JL Billet on a .308. Before I had Precision Armament's M4-72, the cat's pajamas of brakes in terms of performance.
PA's brake does reduce felt recoil to a gentle soft nudge that was most welcome and impressive but had the blast of a miniture howitzer. I felt like doubling-up on foam inserts and muffs was not enough with that plus the concusive shockwave became enough to relocate your spleen to a random place. So I tried out this other brake. I was most pleased. It has a well thought out design that not only looks great but is enough to tame the recoil without excessive gasses or flash. It has only a 15° back angle in the first chamber then less each slot after that before the exit, with each tilting down (directs muzzle to fight upward tendency). They put cut-outs in places that most likely aid in the reduction of pressure by diverting the gasses via interupting the walls to not give a place to linger. The top center channel is cut out and has a groove inlayed to channel what does escape upwards out and away with some downward force. Holes milled on top and in the face reduce pressure further.
I'd venture to guess if one were to compare the M4-72's performance to this one it would be 90% vs 75% reduction in recoil. I felt no sharp harsh thrust in the body as without a brake on the 18" barrel but a good firm push back, just not as soft as what the M4-72 did; yet none of the obnoxious blasting out, and eve...

This is the first time the I have ever used a muzzle break. It helped with the recoil and accuracy on my AR-10 . I have a hard polymer buttstock and had no problem or pain after shooting several magazines through it. I highly recommend this muzzle break.

This muzzle brake is an excellent compromise of recoil reduction, concussion, and weight. I have two 300 win mag rifles currently, I have a Seekins Precision brake on one and this one on the other. The Seekins does a better job reducing recoil but it is insanely percussive and loud. It will knock the hat off the person in the next shooting bay. I also have a Lantac Dragon, dead air keymo, and a few others lying around. This looks good, is easy to time with the included crush washer and strikes a good medium of taming the recoil and not blowing eardrums off of your grandmother in the next county.

Raised the arc by about 4" at 200 yards from the zero prior to install. Some recoil reduction and a big difference in muzzle rize. Overall works great for my 16.5" Ruger american. Got the titanium and im very happy with this purchase.
