where is a good place to get a muzzlbrake installed on an encore pistol thanks georg

Try one of the gunsmith guys here, or if that don't pan out check reedercustomguns.com

You can send the barrel to T/C and have a muzzel brake installed for about $80 (the last time I looked). T/C brakes have worked well for me. T/C will only put brakes on barrels of their manufacture.

A number of custom barrel makers will also put a brake on for you with prices ranging from $150 to $250. I just sent a barrel to Mike Bellm to shorten and put a brake on. His brakes are cut directly into the barrel and, in my opinion, have a cleaner look with no seams, bulges or things to unscrew.

I have two from Mag-Na-Port called the Mag-Na-Break which I can remove and install a muzzle cap if I want. They are great on my .338JDJ#2 w/200grn Accubonds and I have one on my Encore 444 Marlin pistol barrel. Here is a photo of my 338JDJ#2.
It cut the recoil in half as far as I'm concerned.

OTT is the best I've ever used! I have one of Mike Sirois' "shark gill" brakes on a .338 x.376 styer (Mike calls it a 335 OTTR) on a Shilen #4 countour take off barrel.

It pushes 210s at 2500 fps, but is an pleasant to shoot as my unbraked .260 w/ its factory barrel. Not to mention this is a gun that shoots between occasional 1/2 MOA 3 shot groups w/ several different loads and bullets.

George,
What cartridge do you want a brake for?
Best I have used hands down to date on bottleneck cartridges is Darrell Holland's Quick Discharge brake.

i have a t/c encore in 308 15 inch barrel

This is the picture of OTTs shark gill on my .335 OTT.

Here's the view of the whole.

Here's a suggestion go to http://www.probed2000.com for muzzle brakes that work I have one on a 15" encore 30-06 barrel.
