Muzzle brake on a bolt action rifle?

[maltc]

I recently picked up a ruger american bolt action chambered in .308. What a beauty.

Can anyone help me explain the legality of attaching a muzzle brake on this rifle? Does is have to be pinned if allowed?

Any reputable suggestions also welcome, if it is indeed OK. Everything I searched was in regards to AR platform.

No problem. A toaster oven would look nifty on it. Jack.

Perfectly legal, my MVP .308 has a surefire Procomp on it, very good brake.

Does not need to be pinned.

Go Guns USA.
Very highly rated comps and great pricing. I have one on my 700 and it’s awesome. Also one on my 300 Blackout. I’ve shot some on 5.56 ARs and they were also very effective.

Generally, yes, but depends on the feature count in the assault weapons ban. Remove the pistol grip on an AR, and then you can run a threaded barrel for instance.

Regardless, doesn't apply to your situation and the AWB doesn't apply to bolt action rifles.

bolt actions are exempt, end of discussion.
