Without the correct tools it would be extremely difficult to
make a proper functioning muzzle brake. The ones I've made are
similar to yours, but they only serve as aesthetic shiny pieces
and have absolutely no meaningful effect on muzzle blast.
However it seems you have put a bit of effort into making the
rake and it looks as good as the £80 uowards ones you can buy
from the pros. Assuming 11.5mm drill but with 1/2 UNF tap was
used, you seem to have managed to keep everything centred.
Difficult to do even with a lathe unless you take your time.

i would agree it serves no porpose other than looking cool, yea
1/2 UNF tap, yea was a pain getting it centred but we have a
milling machine/lathe so tryed are best to keep it all in line,
took about 3 hours including tea breaks,

Ehhh i might be totally wrong here, but are muzzle breaks not
classed as a firearm part (like a moderator) and so have to be
held on licence unless actually part of the barrel? Or am I
thinking of flash hiders...
Edit
“firearm” means a lethal barrelled weapon of any description
from which any shot, bullet or other missile can be discharged
and includes—
(a)any prohibited weapon, whether it is such a lethal weapon or
not;
(b)any component part of such a lethal or prohibited weapon; and
(c)any accessory to any such weapon designed or adapted to
diminish the noise or flash caused by firing the weapon;
Ignore me, considering muzzle brakes are designed to reduce
recoil and not to diminish noise or flash it probably is ok...
Tho pays to be sure lol
