- Caliber Engraving: Top of brake is engraved with caliber designation for correct orientation
- Leveling Aid: Horizontal line engraved on brake face assists in achieving proper alignment
Installation Process
The installation sequence is straightforward and repeatable:
- Torque the universal adapter onto your barrel using a 5/8-inch wrench (this piece remains permanently installed)
- Left-hand thread the brake and collar assembly onto the adapter until nearly snug
- Rotate the brake until level
- Push the brake into the adapter until you feel it lock onto the taper
- Hand-tighten the collar fully—installation complete
Return-to-Zero Performance
Removal and reinstallation of the brake will not require a zero change, making this brake ideal for shooters who may need to remove it for storage, cleaning, or transport.
Construction and Finish
Manufactured from heat-treated 17-4 PH stainless steel on state-of-the-art CNC machines in Northwest Ohio. The brake features a proprietary port design that controls muzzle rise without relying on top porting—a design choice that reduces blast signature directed upward.
