Is anyone using a barrel tuner or tuner brake? Erik Cortina's EC Tuner Brake seems to be getting a lot of attention lately.

I've seen some testing, and they seem to be able to reduce group size.

How do they work?

Thanks.

JKv45, Here is one of many articles on the web. They do a much better job of explaining that I have the ability to do.

Thanks guys.

Next question - is it worth having a standard, non-threaded, barrel threaded to accept one?

Anyone have their Savage barrel threaded? Does it need to be removed from the receiver to do it?

It's impossible to install one without having it threaded :p I did have a Savage .308 barrel cut down to 18" and threaded for a brake, but I have the tools to remove it so I did. I think most smiths can thread it on the receiver if you strip off the extra stuff.

This was one of the better tests I saw with the EC Tuner Brake -
