Like the color alot. Have you shot it with that brake yet? I ran one and the concussion from it was unreal, especially for anybody shooting next to you. I ended up throwing on a Rainier Arms 45* slant.
No, it's only been shot once and that was bone stock. I shoot at an outdoor range though when I shoot. Were you indoors by chance?
No I shoot outside. Most of the Stags came through with a brake like that. Not polished though. My dad and his friend were shooting next to me with theirs and. If I shoot with them now I wear plugs under my headphones. Even then the side blast is crazy. They do work quite well at reducing muzzle flip though. Maybe yours is slightly different and wont be as bad.
