PLEASE IDENTIFY AND VALUE
Comments
Cannot load, I give up. id where it slips over barrel approx .600, id in frt .265, od .750, male dovetail .250....Any idea??What and value??
It's interesting in this respect. As muzzle brakes are usually internally threaded, for mounting. Likely whoever made it, didn't want to alter the rifle by threading the muzzle.
EDIT #1, With a ID of .265 it's not clear which military rifle it was intended for? There has to be sufficient clearance between the OD of the bullet, and ID of the muzzle brake, for safety purposes. Because it is evidently home made, perhaps it was never completed as far as final ID was concerned?
EDIT #2, Considering the ID of the hole in the end of the break. Got to agree with Harley, it's for a 22, not a military rifle. Trying to figure which one has a female dovetail of the correct size is the problem. John Stimpson on his High Standard site, might be able to identify it if it is for a H-S.
That looks like a sight apperture & light-gathering hood. ...or it could be a mount for a laser sight. Are there any markings on it?
Me thinks you have a muzzle mounted piston from a 6mm old military
gun. Will have to look thru my old photos for "one-off" and little used gun ideals for self loading rifles of years gone by.
