clamp on muzzle brake
As with the other customers I ordered 10/2/ 20 and had great hopes for this companies product. My CC was charged 10/4/20. I waited around 5 weeks and gave them a call, the lady that took the call sounded like she was having a very bad day. She could offer no info on the order or the status of it. At that time I read the reviews on Witt Machine and was very sorry I ordered from them. My bad, should have checked that first. If I had read them first I would never have ordered anything from them. It is now 12/3/20 and I have never heard from them. Anyway they have my money and brake. Going to try Kahntrol , hopefully they are better than this company.
Also going to call the card company and try to get my money back.SME Lightweight, caliber 223/5.56
After reading the above reviews I was a little hesitant about placing an order with these guys, but decided that I was interested enough in the product that it was worth taking the chance. I received my order in 10 days and the parts are nicely machined, sturdy, and fit well on my AR. Indoors the sound volume is somewhat reduced but the real test will be at the range next week. So far no complaints.
Muzzle brake
Ordered took a while so started checking on it once money showed on my account month and half after ordering it. Email was answered that it was too small and the couldnt build it and would refund my money. After a week started calling and emailing them for next several weeks with no reply. Then the brake shows up it looked good and was great fit seem to be. Followed instructions far as lock tight and torque settings.its been several months since install and hadn't shot gun. I went to check it yesterday and where I had been dead on at 100 yards I wasnt even on paper. So moved closer and shot till i was on target then moved back to 100 yards ,when i when to shoot i noticed the brake was gone. Walked back to where i was shooting and found it. I dont believe I'll put it back on but it does make a cool looking 100 dollar paper weight. DO NOT BUY!!!

Clamp on muzzle break for 6.5 Creedmoor Savage
I placed my order in September 26, 2020 with my measurements and didn't hear from them after they took my money. But I e-mailed them and with in 3 days. I got a conformation that my order was being shipped and it fit perfectly no fuse on fitting . It's finish was really nice and smooth, they even gave 2 extra bolts. and it looks great on the gun. haven't had the chance to shoot the gun yet with it on but looking down the barrel every thing lines up great. So I don't think I should have any problems.
Witt custom clamp on muzzle brake
In Nov 2019 I ordered a clamp on muzzle brake for my Tikka T3 300 Win Mag ... ordering was simple and quick.
That’s where the positives stop.
After about a month I emailed asking for an eta ... I was surprised with the defensive reply. Basically they were “we advise on our website that Canadian orders com3 with no guarantees or refunds”. Basically they said customs takes a while because of the govt shipping no issues. Basically I said well give me the shipping info I’ve got a resource that can help with the customs. No reply .. emailed again and the response was ever more terse basically saying my issue and buyer beware. They had t shipped it out rather applied for the “appropriate paperwork and couldn’t ship until they get that back”.
Now I talked to a friend of mine who works with Canada customs and said yes product for firearms can be a hassle to import to Canada from the US but no big deal just get the application info from Witt and he’ll walk it through the process with US customs. Anyway long story short .. Witt does not respond to calls or email from me. Basically they took my money and as far as I can tell never even made the brake and had no intention of doing so because it was a Canadian order and they knew it would be a lot of red tape and it would probably get “lost” in the system .... but I had the resources to get it walked thru the process, they didn’t count on that and ghosted me .... if your a Canadian trying to a muzzle brake from Witt Machine don’t bother they just steal from youClamp on muzzle brake for cva paramount
I ordered the clamp on muzzle brake for a CVA paramount. It arrived in a few days but it was not 45 cal. I called Witt and left a message and 3 days later another one arrived, it was a perfect fit. The recoil reduction is amazing. Would definitely recommend!
Clamp-on Muzzle Brake adapter for 300 WinMag -SCRAP, TERRIBLE CR!
I am as selective as anyone else regarding the companies I decide to do business with, and although I have read the bad reviews, after reading a bit about the Witt Machine history, I developed enough respect and confidence to make my decision and hoped that it won't happen to me.
Anyways, I received the parts I ordered in about 2 weeks. The muzzle brake looked fine but the muzzle clamp adapter came in with a surprising concentricity error between the threads and the hole of about 11.5 mils. Considering the questionable barrel alignment added by the clamp section and the resulting muzzle break tilt, the total error is very likely to lead to a bullet hit before leaving the assembly.
After attempting to install the muzzle clamp adapter on the rifle so I can measure the assy compounding concentricity error, to my surprise it did not fit onto the rifle barrel either. Even after reversing the clamping screws as instructed to open the clamp as much as possible and forced it in with a plastic mallet, the barrel stopped about half inch from bottoming out into the clamp adapter. The screw heads also rub into their seats stripping away the ceramic coating.
Before returning the product and add to the bad reviews I found on the exact same issue, I decided to further analyze these 2 issues and give Witt Machine a fair chance to fix them. I found that the barrel fit issue was a result of a fundamentally wrong way to measure the rifle barrel end section as instructed, which is not only insufficient to describe the true muzzle shape/geometry, but actually detrimental. Although not obvious to the naked eye, the end of the barrel on my Remington 700, and I suppose other rifles owned by so many of the people that report with similar complaints on being unable to fit these clamp-on adapters, is not exactly conical to only require 2 measurements (at muzzle end and 1.625" deep), but it is actually rounded off towards the end, creating a curved outline. That would require at least 3-4 measurements along the 1.625” barrel end section in order to properly describe the true muzzle shape.
So I decided to put in a few hours and made a detailed 3D CAD drawing to help us all solve this issue which I suspect is fairly common in barrel manufacturing, and hopefully improve their website measurement instructions to avoid encountering future issues for the benefit of their customers, but their company as well.
I emailed the drawing with my comments for review and asked for feedback and their input on solving this issue, but no reply. I pinged them again asking how they want to solve this issue after another week, but again -no answer. After 2 additional weeks -still no reply, so I decided to call the company and talked with a CR lady who didn't seem to be neither sympathetic towards the issue, nor interested in allowing me to have a constructive discussion with a technical person to whom I could present my analysis concluding that the WittMachine measurement method and instructions on their website lacks the necessary detail and leads to inaccurate characterization of certain kinds of barrel muzzle geometries. BTW, she said that they read and respond to all their emails. Right…
In spite of my insistent but polite efforts to make her understand that the improvements I am suggesting to their measurement method would correct the issues complained by so many customers in the bad reviews I have seen (which BTW I was cut off by her saying that it isn't true, but it's ok, I believe the countless online reviews and comments), minimize product returns and ultimately -not only significantly benefit us as customers, but the WittMachine company as well, the CR expressed no interest whatsoever. More than that, as she seemed to run out of patience, she told me to ship the part back (at my expense) for a refund, after which the call was cut short with a quick thank you then she hung up before I could even respond with a customary greeting.
Obviously, I can't tell if this level of rare disinterest for constructive dialog with a customer who is willing and even inviting to do just that is a general company lack of regard, or if it comes from this employee's single ended decision or lack of interest in personal involvement -fact about which the company might not even be aware of, the bottom line is that I am very disappointed with the experience and I will never order from this company again, nor I advise anyone to do that.
Given the experience, I am not even going to send the part in for refund because at this point I am not sure how this could end. I own a lathe and decided to take a stab at fixing this myself rather than pay return shipping and continue to deal with this company any further..300 win mag muzzle brake
I ordered my muzzle brake on Jan. 28, 2020. It is now september 11, 2020 and i still have not received the muzzle brake. They do not return emails and i have talked to them numerous times. They just tell me it is being shipped out. I would not recommend this company to anyone! They have money and i have nothing.
Custom Clamp On Muzzle Brake
Ordered a Clamp on Muzzle Brake for my Remington 300 WM from Witt Machine. Took a longer than normal time for them to get back up and running due to Covid 19 but after I contacted them via FB Messanger the had it shipped in a week. Next to the long wait dor both USPS and then secondary inspection at the border by customs, I have no complaints. The finish was perfect on it, the tooling was perfect and clean and since I ordered it a bit smaller than my barrel diameter, I had to open it up a bit to get it on my barrel for a snug fit. Just ran 30 rounds threw it with no movement to the brake and a big reduction in barrel rise and recoil. I would definatly order again from them.

They have bad reviews locally BBB .,badHey bud, i had the same problem.
1. Their emails were going to a spam folder. Might want to check your spam folder.
2. Their measurements need ro be taken in either inches or MM in decimal form not fractions.its more precise.
Thought maybe this would help you out.Muzzle Brake for 300 WinMag
I ordered a screw on muzzle brake for a 300 WinMag on 9 April. The website said muzzle brakes shipped within 7 days. I did not receive my muzzle brake for 6 weeks after numerous calls and emails. When I did get the muzzle brake it was cut too small and would not fit my barrel. I contacted them via phone and email and was told to return it and they would make it right. It is now the May 29th and I have not recieved my muzzle brake or my money and can not get a response or answer from them. I would not recommend this comand to my eneny and definitely not to any member of my gun club.. Good Money Wasted!!
