#Muzzlebrake

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we jumped in the Delorean, put on our new AR googles, rubbed the crystal ball, or whatever future-predictors do and took some educated guesses at the next 20 years of silencers. This week, with the groundhog giving us a bit of a Spring preview, we get back out on the range to test the flash hiding capabilities of the SureFire RC3 suppressor. After the sun starts to drop behind the trees, I’ll be back with some results.

Armaspec is a noted producer of parts and accessories for the AR-15, AR-10, AK, and Glock platforms. This year at SHOT they were showing off their newest prototype. The Harmonics Tuner Muzzle Brake is exactly what the name suggests, a completely user-tunable muzzle brake.

Reducing your signature can be very important in a gunfight. Concealing your position can keep you alive. However, depending on your circumstances, the signature reduction could be less important than reducing recoil. Muzzle brakes excel in recoil reduction (with the tradeoff of increased sound, typically). Dead Air Silencers produces some very high-quality muzzle devices. The newest to hit their catalog of goodies is a muzzle brake, and it’s fire. This is the new Pyro 2.0 Enhanced Muzzle Brake from Dead Air Silencers.

Without Warning is an Australian company run by BJ who is a Precision Rifle competitor and enthusiast as well as an avid hunter. His invention – the TMB-S (Tuner Muzzle Brake – Standard) is designed to integrate both a self-timing muzzle brake and a locking harmonic barrel tuner into one device eliminating the need for multiple devices as well as simplifying the load development process.

As someone who generally is disinterested in the newest and coolest tacticool whatsa-whosits, I have to admit to you that I was surprised to pick up anything with the intention of improving my AR15 or making my shooting experience more enjoyable with one. The item in question today is the Ultadyne Apollo Max .223/5.56 Muzzle Brake. If you have not heard of Ultradyne, they are an American company with American made products in the form of firearm accessories such as sights, muzzle devices, and combinations of the two. With today’s subject being the Apollo Max Muzzle Brake, I should mention what makes it unique…it reduces recoil far better than other muzzle brakes I have been around and that can benefit the user in multiple ways. Let us dive right into a review on the Ultradyne Apollo Max .223/5.56 Muzzle Brake!

If you’re in the market for the perfect muzzle brake to top off your space gun AR build then look no further. Tyrant Designs have been making sleek looking AR and pistol accessories and components for years and the CyberBrake is the latest addition to their line of unique offerings.

Circle 10 AK has added three new products to their line of AK accessories – two muzzle brakes and a version of their fixed aluminum triangle stock compatible with Yugoslavian AKs. All these new AK products are made in the United States thus each of them counts as one 922(r) compliance parts when building AKs from imported parts kits. Let’s take a brief look at each of these three new AK parts.

Strike Industries has released another muzzle device called Miller Comp. Although it looks similar to their  JCOMP, the new compensator has an external diameter of .745″ which makes it a little thinner than the JCOMP (.870″) yet according to Strike Industries is “engineered to mitigate recoil in the same manner as the SI JCOMP”. Let’s see why have they trimmed down the JCOMP design.

Lantac USA have announced that they have developed two new muzzle brakes that feature Dead Air’s KEYMO suppressor mounting system. Lantac USA are expanding their line of Dragon Muzzle Brakes with the DGN556B-DA and DGN762B-DA. Lantac USA note that “for the first time shooters can now enjoy advanced weapon control with the ability to mount the entire range of Dead Air Sandman® KEYMO silencers to their firearms.”

Area 419 has a lot of muzzle devices to attach to the dangerous end of your barrel, to make any energy that exits behave in a different manner. For instance, they have the clever Maverick Recoil Suppression System which TFB covered earlier.

Armaspec is known for its recoil management systems, especially their Stealth Recoil Spring. They also manufacture a variety of other AR products, including magwells, safety selectors (ambidextrous of course), extended mag releases, and so on. Today, at SHOT 2020 Armaspec’s booth was showing off their brand new Rifter Linear Muzzle Brake. Through the use of internal channels, the sound moves forward, away from the shooter. Importantly, it also sends the sound and concussion away from anyone standing off to the side. The ports on the top of the shield control the gas and help to both mitigate muzzle rise. Additionally, they direct recoil back toward the shooter. Gasses move through the aforementioned interior channels in order to delay their expulsion.

The endless search for the perfect muzzle brakes gets another piece to the puzzle as Franklin Armory release their new series of muzzle brakes named Aura.

JMac Customs has released their new X-Series of muzzle devices that thanks to the external threads also double as suppressor mounts. In fact, the letter X used as a series designation stands for eXternal thread. The muzzle brake portion of these muzzle devices is similar to the company’s RRD brakes. Currently, there are two models of X-Series muzzle brakes available – RRD-2C X12 and RRD-2C X37. Let’s take a brief look at each of them.

Matador Arms has released a quite an interesting new muzzle brake called Regulator. At first glance, this new muzzle device may look like a generic three-port brake, however, if you take a closer look, you’ll see that it almost looks like there are two brakes installed into each other. Let’s see what advantages such design provides.

I hope you guys enjoy a deal or two this week. Let me know in the comments if you want to see more or less of something, if there’s a deal you want hunted down, or any other comments and concerns.
