For your uses (or mine), you are right, they serve no purpose. Their design, with the serrations and venting, is for breaching - place the serrations against a door or other item that you'd like to "open", load a breaching round, pull trigger, instant lock pick. :twisted:

Where you can get one? Look for a thread called "Hammered 870" - I recall there being discussion there about a few different makes of muzzle breaks.

Edit: To clarify the above, I am trying to indicate that they DO serve a purpose, just not for the average Joe, who would have a hard time finding breaching rounds, and an even harder time finding a legit use for them. I'm well aware of the true use, just wanted to make sure I didn't come off sounding like I was uninformed.

 

I saw the "hammered" post--that one looks neat, but not the one I want. It would never happen, of course, but it's a neat thought that I can stick the muzzle into the bad guy's face and twist, and---ouch! That'll leave a mark fer sure.

 

Actually they do serve a purpose they are designed for door breaching , a breaching round is supposed to be discharged 0 - 1" away from the lock with 0 being the prefered distance , you slam the serrated tip into the door and frame wood so it doesnt slide off target and you are spaced out perfectly.

 

"...it's a neat thought that I can stick the muzzle into the bad guy's face and twist, and---ouch!..."

...a 'neat' thought?

:shock:

 

wrong... 8) see donnie's post

the places i have found will not sell to the public...

probably, in part, for statements/potential actions like this

but it's a neat thought that I can stick the muzzle into the bad guy's face and twist, and---ouch! That'll leave a mark fer sure.

i have placed this one, flush against an object, with a breacher round, and the vents allowed the gases to escape and the object? no longer workable for its designed purpose...

stay safe

 

Tromix makes one with teeth for the saiga. I don't know if they will fit anything else.

 

Put a Cutts comp on the end and file in the teeth. Just use a 3 sided file. Put a pencil line around the front of the comp, so you have something to control the depth and file away.

 

I can make them to fit any shotgun.

I do mostly Saiga's, but have also done a few for Benelli's and Mossbergs.

Holy Crap! I thought the YHM flash hider I have on my M-4 was aggressive. :shock:

 

impressive craftsmanship, indeed...

maybe i should buy one... how much would it cost me if you tossed in a saiga with it? :lol:

that board of short bbl models is truly gun porn...

 

yankee hill's is less threatening indeed...

tromix design is most aggressive... AND the machining rules...

gabe suarez has a section in his book about BG's who grab the barrel of a shotgun in an attempt to take same away from the good guy...

i have feeling that a tromix stand off would make it much more difficult for a bad guy grab...

Tony, what is the ID of the standoff? I think I would like to put one on a 870..

How would they attach to a 21" rem choke 870 barrel. Got any pics. Your work looks great. Thanks in advanced
Randy

 

Wow Tony great work , i love the way you bevel cut it .... i havent seen that before it looks great.

Im curious as to how the siamese 223 acts during full auto fire .... Is it stable with recoil working against each other? Are the 2 recievers welded?

Just curious about the 223 , but very interested in the standoff , im going to show someone at work ( could be potential business your way ) what is the spacing from tip of serrades to barrel?

 

WOW- any chance of a groub buy/discount popping up... i would take a few maybe if the price is right...

 

Fellas here is a chance for you to cut down those 18" barrels and be legal :wink:

 

tony told me that there's a bearing adhesive similar to loctite that would permanently attach the stand off on a shotgun bbl, he has the specs on it, so i would take his word for it on a permanent attachment... +1 donnie... likin that bevelwork...

 

+1 on the Tromix, have one on my Saiga 12, and will be ordering one for my 870. Check out the Saiga-12 forum, Tony is a God over there, great work, great guy. Mod feel free to delete if not allowed to post other sites, but take a peek before you do. Thanks, I'll get off the soap box now, 77hiboy :wink:

 

when you get the brake installed on the 870, i'd really like to hear about the procedure and a pic if possible... it appears that he makes/sells great stuff...

 

I'm wondering if they can make them with only the top three slots instead of all six, i.e., barrel porting.

 

870pilot, will send pics when I can but I am currently working on a Kel Tec PLR 16 and it's eating alot of my funds. The Saiga is an unthreaded barrel, just used loctite, it has held for a year. Tromix definetly does quality work and I would not trust my Saiga with anyone else.
soonerpgh, give Tony a call, he's a great guy and would possibly work with you on only 3 ports.

 

loctite may work, but I would perfer to thread mine , just the machinist in me.

 

I can make them with whatever ID you want. The fit needs to be within .005" or it might come off. The #620 bearing mount can fill a gap larger then that, but a thin bond line is going to be much stronger.

Each individual shotgun barrel will have a slightly different OD. They can range .010" or so between barrels, so you would have to measure your particular barrel in order to get the best fit.

I can thread them either M22-.75 (Saiga) or 7/8-28tpi.
