Sporterized Swede 6.5 needs muzzle brake

[Hunkyfish]

1904 CG Swedish Mauser 18 in barrel
Monte Carlo stock & low thumb safety
I believe it was sporterized in the 50's it had a Weaver K-3 60-B 3 power?
I upgraded the scope to a Bushnell 4.5x18x40 AR-223 scope (close ballistics match out to 500)
I've been working up some loads & the muzzle blast is impressive, clears EVERYTHING off the hood LOL
does anyone have a recommendation on an inexpensive & effective muzzle brake ?
I'm thinking an A-2 Birdcage bored out for the 6.5, it worked well on my 9mm carbine

What is the barrel thread?

I've got a DPMS Miculek Muzzle Brake that wasn't too expensive.

The ½"x28 AR brakes are usually quite a bit cheaper than the ⅝"x24 for the 30cal.

Aye, I have a K4 on my 1903A4.... Was looking to get it more WWII specific.... Good luck and post pics if that as well....

The Gentry Quiet Muzzle Break is nice. I'm having one installed on my Guide Gun soon.

I'm waiting on a muzzle guide & tap to do it myself right now, then I want to find one with no bottom ports
