TRG 22 & 42 Muzzle brakes; are they the same item?

[brown dog]

My Google powers seem weak; grateful for info on TRG muzzle brakes;

 

Is there only one TRG muzzle brake to fit both 42s and 22s?

 

Or is there a TRG22 specific brake and a TRG42 specific brake? (ie a 308 brake and a 338 brake)

 

 

 

Reason for asking: I have a TRG brake (well, actually a Blaser brake, but they appear identical) taken off a 338. I'm putting it on a 308 and assuming it will work; just having a few moments of doubt! If there's only one TRG model for 308 & 338 then I'll relax.

 

Thanks

I,m pretty sure they are the same brake and exit hole, which is always going to be a compromise on a .308. Maybe one of the trg owners here could help ?

I'll measue ID on the .308 brake for you in the morning Matt - I suspect they are the same item.

Thanks Tony, ID on mine is approx 10mm as best I can measure it.

 

A bit more saddo googling just now got me the fact that Sako only give one part number for the brake, so I'm starting to feel a little more confident that there is just the one item. There are also lots of ads offering 'TRG22/42 muzzle' with no separation.

 

Having had my hair parted by the gas flow from numerous braked 308 TRGs this cheers me up that my brake will work on a 308!

 

Hoping you're going to come back with 'approx 10mm' !

9.90mm using calipers Matt - not a perfect measurement but close enough for government work

 

The enlarged orifice does not seem to reduce the performance and I think they use the same brake down to .223 on the Tikka Tactical although it would be tougher to measure the effect.

 

I'd put about a thousand rounds through mine before I shot next to someone else using a TRG (too many AI's) and had not realised how bloody antisocial they are

 

I've since discovered how good they are at clearing snow......

Brilliant. Thanks Tony.

Yes they are both the same brake at least mine are anyway.

My Blaser brake is ID of .495" (its a 338 brake as you know) - works just fine on the 308 and is more efficient than the AI vented brakes despite large bore.

 

 

 

Apologies for delayed "northern" reply
