![]() Stock barrel no surprise, muzzle jump and climb and just a puff of muzzle blast in all directions. The weather conditions had an unexpected result on my findings. Weather was very cloudy, overcast and rainy. However both amplified the sound pretty significantly, at least to my ear, I would NOT want to shoot the rifle with either brake without earpro. I was able to get out and do some shooting.įirst up both muzzle devices worked very well. If there are any 58/858 owners here let me know what muzzle devices you like. I will get a shooting video up soon and share my findings with you guys.įor anyone interested Corwin Arms is the retailer and I confirmed that he can ship to Canada and the USA before posting this here. I intend to compare the brakes in a few ways: muzzle climb and felt recoil, dust signature, shooter perception of muzzle flash and target visibility of muzzle flash. It is for that very reason that I was so interested in the SFBS. If you are like me and choose weapon systems that today can be used for fun target shooting and hunting but know that things can change and your fun gun might be pressed into service as a defensive weapon (insert catastrophic event here) then you are likely interested in muzzle devices that will increase shooting performance and also reduce muzzle signature for both the shooter and anyone looking for muzzle flash. If you are an avid shooter and like to shoot fast or at multiple targets a brake will reduce felt recoil and increase shooting performance. If you are a casual shooter and never intend to shoot quickly or shoot multiple targets a brake isn't really of much use to you. So why do I, or should you, care about adding a muzzle device to your rifle. Reassembly is fixed by marking the correct position with a punch or other tool once I know where I need to align the brake with my rifling. Cleaning, well take it apart, boiling water scrub with a toothbrush and then some oil, no big deal. The cost is relative, if performance is majorly improved than the cost is irrelevant. ![]() Also if you don't mark the exact point on the inner brake you may reassemble to the wrong position after removing and replacing the system after cleaning. It is a two part system so cleanup is slightly more complicated ( not really but compared to a one piece brake ). ![]() My first impression is that the SFBS will work better, from everything I have read it is a great system. ![]() Once I choose the brake that will stay on the rifle I will try to fin a shim of some kind so the fit is a little tighter. The CLMB is slightly tighter than the SFBS. Neither brake is really tight on the rifle, they both thread on and are locked on by the front sight base. The SFBS flash suppressor needs to be indexed to get the best function, one click either way ( looser or tighter ) is necessary to best line up with rifling. Here are the two brakes side by side with the brake system broken down to view the interior flash suppressor. The machining makes the perfectionist in me very happy. It isn't simply full of holes, there are straight holes ( 90 degree to the body ) and angled holes that I assume helps direct the gas more efficiently. ![]() The fit and finish and the machining that went into this system are extremely impressive. First appearances are that the CLMB is a very straight forward no BS design that simply is intended to work. The CLMB had a nice matte finish that matched the finish of my rifle nicely and the SFBS had a more blued/glossy finish. Corwin Arms (retailer) was fantastic to deal with, they will get more of my business for sure! I also received a Czech Large Muzzle Brake (CLMB) which is the standard issue with holes on the top and one on each side.Īfter I opened up the bag containing the two brakes the first thing I noticed was the finish on the two devices. The Special Forces Brake System (SFBS) is a two part hider and brake. The retailer had been promoting a new brake system that is supposed to be the best system for the 58/858. There is a company here in Canada that has a great deal of parts for the 58/858 platform. I have been on the lookout for a survival/prepping/hunting/fun gun and I chose the CSA VZ 58 rifle. Up here in Canada we have some gun freedom, more than some, but not nearly as much as the USA and other parts of the world. ![]()
