NEW MFI Accuracy International (AI)
Style Muzzle Brake for Remington 700
SLIP ON TYPE for .223 Caliber with
Non-Threaded Barrel with O.D. @ 0.830".
As many of you know MFI is a one man show and
I have a deep passion for all things that go
BANG! I specifically like
sniper rifles yet like most of you I am
NOT made of money.
Ever penny counts and while I would love to have a
real AI Sniper Rifle I simply do not have the budget for it. And while I am being honest I also am old enough to know that
my shooting ability could never
justify owning a truly great weapon like the AI. After all I am
NOT looking to make that 1500m kill shot... I just need to be able to group inside 2.5" at 200m.
So I am more than happy to settle for second best. An AI chassis (or other chassis) with a Remington 700 action. I have personally built 3 - 700 sniper rifles with different chassis: .223 (AI Chassis), .308 (JAE Chassis) and 5.45 X 39 (KRG Chassis Whisky 3)... and yes that is
NOT a typo... I converted a 700 SPS in .223 to shoot the Russian AK74 round... and yes I use an AI .223 box magazine for the 5.45 rifle. So needless to say...
I am mental...
seriously mental...
So I am no different from anyone else... I love what I see on the news and in the movies and I am not afraid to admit it.
Cool is Cool after all...
This is one of 6 different models that we offer to accommodate the variety of different barrel outer diameters and thread patterns found on the Remington 700 series sniper rifles. So whether you have a Remington 700 SPS, LTR, AAC, Tactical, Long Range or VTR we have you covered. If you have a non-700 series rifle then likely one of these different brakes will work on your weapon plug and play...
If not we can help there too... For $35.00 more we
can modify / bore out the internal diameter to fit your barrel or even add a thread. The most common we are asked about if the SAKO TRG platform with a 18mm X 1.0 pitch Right Hand Thread...
So YES!... anything is possible
Unlike our other products this item is specifically for a
VERY LIMITED MARKET and as such is made in
very small volumes. Normal production for any other item is 1000 per year minimum. So it goes without saying we have to charge more money for these. We do our best to keep the price down for our valued customers.
Still 1/2 the cost of the AI MB that would not fit anyway.
Support the USA and "
Buy American".
These are designed specifically to
complete the look for customers with the Remington 700 in AI chassis / sniper stocks. So if you have ever wondered why your Accuracy International Rem 700
does not look 100% complete... It is because
you are missing the final accessory.
As you know AI does
not make their Muzzle Brakes to fit any of the Remington 700 SPS, LTR, XCR, or other barrels. Additionally a genuine AI brake will cost you $250.00+ if you can find one and as the design is so old, even if you modified it to fit your barrel it would
not be as effective as other single stage muzzle brakes on the market.
We are
NOT claiming to have the most effective muzzle brake on the market. We are focusing on the fact that we too wanted to have a cost effective product for the AI 700 platform that not only gave the correct look that we were lacking, but also was a more effective brake than the original A.I. brake.
So we took the general looks of the AI brake and made a number of improvements.
The original AI brakes are
cast and lack any real clean up of casting marks. So while we were using a
100% CNC process we took a closer look at the
internal area as well. We
increased the effectiveness of the brake by enlarging the blast catch area. By increasing this area and reshaping the exit hole we believe we
increased the effectiveness of the brake by at least 40% over the original. Thus all the negative reviews of the original AI Muzzle Brake are negated by this improvement alone.
The MFI Brakes are
CNC machined from solid billet weapons grade steel.
Mil. Spec. Parkerized Dark Gray. Coating is very similar to the original AI color, perhaps a hair darker.
Exit hole size is
caliber specific for
maximum anti-recoil effect. One of the huge mistakes of the AI brakes is that they all have the
same size exit hole which is intended for the largest caliber at the time which was the .338 Lapua round. Obviously shooting a .308 or .223 caliber bullet though such a large hole
decreases the downward force generated by the upward blast significantly. This is one of the biggest complaints that you find on any of the sniper forums.
Improved
anti-climb design on internal area CNC machined unlike the original cast AI MB.
We also dished / chamfered the nose of the exit hole to more
evenly disburse the remaining blast as the bullet passes through this area. This eliminates any chance of a
negative vortex that would change the trajectory of the bullet in flight as it exits the muzzle brake.
The set screw at the top is a 10-32 and is there to provide a dead center positive locking point if your barrel is milled for a center slot. If your barrel is not you can still use the set screw by marking the center point on your barrel to assure alignment with the muzzle brake.
NOTE: The threaded hole on the original A.I. MB is there to attach the AI front sight. We did
not match exactly the profile for the AI sight in this area as I personally would never buy $600.00 worth of iron sights for my sniper rifle. Our first prototype did match this profile, but it just
looked wrong / fat on those angles, so we changed it to a more appealing shape.
If you look at all the military photos shot in the field you will be hard pressed to find any with the
sight in play. Basically while it is a good idea
in theory to have back up sights it is almost never put in to practice in the field as it
adds weight and is one more thing to get
caught / snagged while stalking. Lastly all sniper teams carry
back up weapons for this exact reason.

Only you can determine the correct item to order by measuring the outer diameter of your barrel with a digital caliper. Reasonable quality calipers are available cheap on
eBay and at
Harbor Freight. Digital calipers are a must for any serious gun nut.
Trust me on this... Spending $30.00 on a caliper is well spent and you will find it a very useful tool on a daily basis.
The general rule of thumb here is that all
Remington 700 Tactical style rifles have the same tapered profile from the 26" length going down. The O.D. from 26" to 22" is the smaller 0.830" and increases in size slightly as the barrel gets shorter / cut down. The Tactical models with barrels from 20" to 16" fall into the larger O.D. @ about 0.870".
NOTE: I will offer inside diameter boring out to fit a larger barrel O.D. @ $35.00, but this will remove the Parkerizing.
