Thread: Suppressors with internal muzzle brake

As it is screwed to the barrel it pushes the whole rifle forward to some extent and dampens the recoil effect.
Thats the way I see it anyway.

Exactly. Old mate had a MAE suppressor on his Sako 75 3 hundy WM, the scope kept coming off the receiver dovetail on firing. So much was the recoil reversed, that the recoil setting dovetail on the Sako was ineffective. Ended up machining a notch into the side of the dovetail and a adding a claw and grubscrew to the mount.
