What do you add or modify to make a muzzle brake adjustable??

added I'm not sure your low pressure 45-70 rounds will do much recoil reduction with a break. I would just use lighter bullets like a 300 grain and less powder. Perhaps have some directed vents EDM into your barrel. Mag.na.port comes to mind. http://www.magnaport.com/
My Mexican small ring Mauser is in 45-70. About 6.5# and has a Cutts compensator type muzzle brake. It came that way, I forgot the name of the gunsmith that built it. I got it from Mr. 45-70 before he passed. With full loads it will talk to you. Still its a pansy compared to my 600 Remington in 45-350 Rem Mag built by P.O. Ackley. It is 5.25# loaded with sling. Loading data essentially is take 45-70 #1 Ruger top loads add 5 grains as the starting point.
If I make it to 84, I hope to be still be shooting.
using water pipe, set screws & a hend held electric drill--It succeded in pulling the rifle fwd & blowing my cap off, and ringing my ears..
didn't need one for an 8mm anyhow---but my 45-70 arisaka action and
my 84 yr old shoulders need some help now---I got ear plugs !!<G>
The only adjustment I have ever seen on muzzle brakes. Is a sleeve that fits over the brake. It blocks the gas from being diverted.. The more holes in the brake it blocks, the less gas is able to be diverted rearward.
