Page 2 - Air Venturi Crow Mag Short Reviews

Cheap, easy installation.

Better finish, include shims or sleeves to protect barrels from tightening screws.

The finish on this is poor at best. Looks good from ten feet away, but up close will show scratches in the finish.Use some sort of shim between the barrerl and the lock down screws or risk gouging your barrel.

It dressed up the end of the barrel on my daisy mod 120.

It is NOT the one on the rws guns from the factory. I has a pro compact and the break on it is huge compared to this one. The end of mine was screwed in crooked so its not flush all the way around with the bady of the break and there was a slight amount of rust on one of the grub screws. I tried to unscrew the end to fix it and grrrd up the edge so its not going back now. Its not bad just not the factory break i thought it was.

The look of my rifle after putting the brake on. It did seem to balance out the rifle a little bit.

Seems a bit overpriced for what it is.

I am strictly shooting through scoped rifles, because my vision with open sights isn't that good. Didn't like seeing/feeling the grooves when used. Much happier with the look and feel.

Steel, it is steel. Shape, weight, threaded end cap. Did seem to reduce barrel vibration on an HW90/RX-2.

Maybe I got a one off one, but the finished machining was marginal at best. I would like to see better machining with bluing instead of paint or powdercoat. Rating value for money is tough because it's fairly cheap, but also finished poorly.

I put this on an older RX-2, had to machine off the dovetails, but the diameter is just right for Weihrauch rifles. Which means it should "fit all R series beeman rifles except R7". ID was ~.630. The set screws are too long, and poor quality. I ended up welding the set screw holes shut, re machining the surface and applying an epoxy based bake on paint; then JBwelding it to the barrel. Happy with it now, especially considering the crow magnum style brake is currently unavailable.

The shape and the nice finish.

The screws were a bit too long, but it was not a big deal or hassle to fix. It costs a bit too much for the simplicity of it.

I put the muzzle on the RWS Dianna 34, and I really like the shape and fit of the muzzle. For the people who want to install the muzzle, it would be better to remove the grooves from the front sight of the muzzle.

Finish is a deep blue

ID is a bit large no filing required on either of my rifles. Would prefer a snug fit I may have trouble keeping it tight. Loose fit on two different RWS34 one 12 land barreled Pro with sight dovetails and one 8 land Classic 34 T06 without sigt dovetails

bought two sent one back as the endcap would not unscrew.

Fit and finish is well done

Grub screws are too long, and protrude a bit

Made my R1 noticeably quieter. Removable end cap is nice, especially if you wanted to add additional baffles inside the brake.

Looks good and fit my B50 with a little help

Do what we all want this to do a little better.

I fit to my B50 with a shim cut from a plastic bottle and 1/2" copper tube. MB slid right on and screws tightened it down. Looks good and worked well at lower power settings.

My RWS 350 Mag certainly looks cooler with the muzzle brake (not the reason for my purchase), but it actually helped tighten up my groups. The 350 Mag is particularly hold sensitive and the recoil fairly pronounced. I found the small amount of added weight at the tip of the barrel actually helped lessen the effect of recoil and now the rifle is more forgiving. So it's easier to take advantage of the inherent great accuracy of the rifle.

Not having to file the globe sight grooves would have been nice. Not a big deal however. The price is borderline ridiculous! I would have given one star on value were it not for the fact that my accuracy has improved -- which is what every airgunner wants...right? But, seriously, lower the price for this simple hunk of machined metal!

If price is not of concern, get this for your RWS 350 Mag and you'll find it easier to get tight groups. The added mass up front dampens the recoil nicely. The RWS 350 Mag is a very accurate rifle in the hands of a skilled shooter. This muzzlebrake makes it a little easier for the rest of us to hit consistent bulls-eyes.

A little better to hold to pump. It also kept the barrel down on recoil.

Nothing.

You have to file the cut groove's from the front sight.

Unit looks nice and matched the finish on the RWS36. Gave good gripping handle.

Use larger set screws. The provided set screws did not fit any allen wrench properly, I guess due to poor tolerances. Unit came loose after 15 or so shots and had to be tightened continuously. When loose, all pellets went wild, no accuracy. Front muzzle stop also came unscrewed. This unit could not take the punishment of the RWS36. Also, set screws were too long.

I drilled and tapped the exsisting set screw holes to 1/4 X 28NF. Then I filed flats on the barrel for the set screws to engage. I stripped the unit with alcohol and applied Loctite to the front muzzle stop and the set screws, tightened it all up as tight as I dared, and then let it set for two days. When I next shot it, I put over 100 pellets through it without the unit becoming loose. Overall, a lot of effort went in to making this product work correctly.

Looks great, nice finish, made well, good close fit, gives you something to grab a hold of when you're cocking.

Shorten the set screws. They stuck out when screwed in tight on my set. I carefully used a grinder to shorten them so that they sit flush.

When filing down the burrs after removing the front sight, be very careful, take your time. After filing, apply some paste blueing to the filed areas which will return the finish and protect the barrel from rusting.
