Abstract
A firearm muzzle brake for utilization for a projectile surrounded by a sabot includes an outer housing, a baffle received within the outer housing and having a bore extending therethrough, and an inner core received within the bore of the baffle and having a bore extending therethrough. The bore of the core has a first section having a diameter that is adapted to allow a sabot to partially tear away from an associated projectile as the projectile and sabot travel through the first section of the bore of the core, and a second section having a second diameter that is adapted to hold the sabot in close contact with the projectile as the projectile travels through the second section of the bore of the core.
