10/22 Muzzle Brake

I still don't get why a muzzle break on a 22 just seems like adding extra weight and I am not sure for what.

VQ claims that it helps stabilize the bullet as it leaves the barrel.

I can see pimping out your kids 10/22 so it looks all cool and mall ninja...as far as need I think it's like putting wheelie bars on a Fiat 500.

I don't know if the VQ really makes much of a difference in braking or stabilizing but it definitely sounds different and the looks are more of an individual thing. I say go for it anyway!!!

I've always felt that spending dollars trying to make a 10/22 appear like an AR-15, is akin to trying to make a VW bug into a Porsche 911. No offense, but it just makes me chuckle.

Difference is that a 911 was made from a Bug in the first place. (Well, it was a stretched 356, which was a chopped and channeled Bug.)

That said, a friend of mine in college had a bug that he'd ... changed. He found a 911 RS America in a junkyard, and, well, the only thing left of the bug was the bodywork. Everything underneath and inside was 911 RS America.

Why'd you do that?

Now you've got me thinking.

Different sounding....how? louder?

[BrianRodela]

Shouldn't say, the Kali-Gun Police will come looking as if I "altered" the sound to make it a dangerous gun!!! Muffles the sound a bit taking away the crack sound. But it also has properties of a muzzle brake due to it's large interior forward surface, helping keeping it on target at 32X being that it's so light.
