So locally there is only one gunsmith near us, and all of the local gun shops send your stuff to this one gunsmith if it requires a gunsmith. I found this out on the wife's rifle build. What I found out was this guy also had his manufacturer's license and he was milling out his own lower receivers and other parts.
So now instead of going to the local gun shops when we need some work done we just go straight to Scott. Just recently Scott submitted the patent paper work for his own brake called Sound of Madness ( S.O.M ). I have watched the video he has posted and I am thinking of picking one up to review it and maybe pass on to anyone else here on the forums that wants to review it. He is a local guy and runs his business out of the shop next to his house. He does all his own work to include his website.

The Rifenbark Armory engineering department has spent four months designing and prototyping the S.O.M. (Sound Of Madness) muzzle brake. We've always had specific goals in mind and would not accept anything less.
Remove muzzle flip and lower felt recoil.
Minimize grouping size due to less shot anticipation.
Decrease shot split time by keeping your sights on target.
Engineering of the Rifenbark Armory Muzzle Brake: This is a ducted port muzzle brake that is calibrated to remove barrel rise and keep your sights on target. The directional top ports are angled to provide compensation to the rising rotary force of muzzle climb. The 'valve cover' ports form a directional jet of gases as opposed to the typical plume you see in most muzzle brakes. Once muzzle rise on the S.O.M. (Sound of Madness) was controlled we began to remove felt recoil. We accomplished this by incorporating characterized interruptions at specific locations in the side ports. These unify side to side forces as the bulk of the gases are dumped perpendicular to the axis of fire. These features allow a precise amount of gas to release through the top ports (keeping the muzzle flat) while gases are re-directed out of the side baffles to prevent excessive felt recoil. Get SOM!
