I don’t use a muzzle brake, but some do. Some of my hearing loss comes from being near a brake when it went off.

Good morning all andHappy Easter! I had both lenses replaced in November 2020. The procedure was simple at least from my side. My ophthalmologist asked me if I wanted the chevy or cadillac lenses. The cadillac (Alcon) lenses adjust for close to far distances and cost me $1000 more per eye. I too...
