I have been watching and researching breaks as of lately and saw something that gave me an idea. Could we have a barrel set up with a permanent break instead of one that can be screwed on and off? If so would it be a good idea or not?

Doubt that a barrel company would do all that

Get it Magna=Ported and it will be a permanent brake? One way or the other, you are going to pay for it.

why would one want a permanent brake? just asking but in my mind the option of going with or without and the option of using a different brake makes it a no brainer to have one installed, like Richard mentioned you will be paying pretty much the same money either way but permanent leaves you with no other options.

I like the removable brake I use it at the range and remove it and put the cap on when hunting One less thing to do when hunting no need for the funnel

I have to ask the same question, 'why would you want a permanent brake on your barrel'? Having a removable one with a thread protector gives you the best of both worlds. JMO........

Thread protector caps come in handy when you want to take your brake off and shoot saboted also...... |

It would be a ported barrel which I did on a 50Cal barrel as a experiment last year to see if I could get it to shot sabots. The barrel was only bores .010 over size and the holes were in a radial pattern.
The brake had small holes but it didn't work with a standard sabot and bullet. I did work great with a sub base and sabot and bullet. It also shot sabotless 300gr Hornady 500SW bullets as well as a 45 Caliber with sabotless bullets. The reamer I used did a good job of crowning the barrel but that is not always the case if the crown is not good accuracy will be poor.
That said If I wanted a brake put on a barrel go with a removable brake. Most important thing is you will get a good crown on the barrel and if you got a bullet stuck in the beginning of the barrel you could unscrew the brake and grab a hold of the bullet and remove it. Its just a better way of doing a brake.

First, thanks for the replies.
Second, I'm no gunsmith, and I grew up hunting not buying high dollar equipment, I bought equipment that allowed me to hunt nothing more. When buying parts for these muzzleloaders and putting together a gun that cost $700+ I still look back thinking man I used to hunt with a $150 muzzleloader and still killed just as much as I do now. What we are doing with this equipment is way over kill but it is still fun. I'd like to spend more but my lifestyle doesn't allow me too.
Third, I have learned everything I know from this site and the other site by reading, researching, and asking questions and sometimes stupid questions.
For me once I get a rifle set up, it's set up, I do not want to keep changing things, I want to hunt. I also look at it as less moveable parts the better. With all that said, I thought a break made into the barrel might be a good thing. I did think about the crown not being as good and might cause issues but still thought I'd ask the question. I watched a hunting video recently and the hunter looked like he was carrying a rifle with a permanent break installed in his rifle, looks like. So figured I'd ask.

Chad. If its going to be a hunting gun I would go with out a brake all together. It's one less thing to worry about.
