Muzzle brake on a shotgun?
Q I went rifle shooting with a friend recently. His rifle, in 30-06 calibre, had a device called a ‘muzzle brake’ fitted to the threaded muzzle. He said this significantly reduced recoil, he thought by almost 50 per cent, and made his rifle (which was quite light) much more comfortable to shoot, like shooting a much smaller calibre. I have seen adverts for muzzle brakes for shotguns and wondered if they would make a similar difference, like making a 12-gauge feel like a 20. Is that possible?

Mystic mis-feeds
Sometimes the empty case is still in the breech and has not been ejected but occasionally the new round is jammed against the fired case, which can be a struggle to remove. I do keep my gun clean; any idea why it now jams?
