Has anyone had any experience with the ASA barrel/brake system? I talked to the manufacturer and they claim that the system cuts felt recoil by 40% and the noise level to the shooter is 9 db's LESS than with a rifle WITHOUT a muzzle break. He also says the whole system weighs about the same as a regular featherweight barrel. I heard some rumor at our gun club that Ruger was going to introduce this system on their rifles next year. When I asked the guy at ASA he said he couldn't comment on that. I have sent for some literature on the system. For those that don't know it is basically a ported barrel with a sleeve over it that keeps the noise level down. I have never seen the system or even a clear photo of it. But the engineer at ASA told me that it is a sealed system so that dirt and snow will not get into it. Apparently the sleeve is held in place by a nut at the muzzle.
