Specs at a glance
About this product
The F-1 Firearms Flat Faced Compensating Muzzle Brake is designed to reduce recoil and muzzle rise on 5.56/.223 caliber firearms. This muzzle device is machined from 4140 Chromoly Steel and features a flat face design with six precisely angled compensation ports. It is intended to redirect gas to help keep sights level during rapid firing sequences.
Compared to standard A2 flash hiders, this compensating muzzle brake has been measured to reduce muzzle rise. Its construction includes a black oxide finish and it is hardened to 50 HRC for durability. The brake attaches via 1/2-28 threads, a common specification for AR barrels, and works with standard crush washers. It is lighter than some other tactical brakes.
