AR15 1/2"x28 Muzzle Brake for 223/5.56, Steel, Black

If you want something straightforward and affordable to reduce felt recoil and muzzle climb on your .308 build, this brake fits the bill. Simple steel construction feels like it’ll last for years.

This isn’t a competition-grade brake, but it is definitely better than nothing. Attaches easily and does reduce muzzle rise enough that I’m happier shooting offhand or from prone without fighting the rifle as much.

When running heavy .308 hunting loads the kick was pretty stout. This brake mellowed that out enough that I could stay more comfortable at the range. Nothing fancy, but practical and effective.

I shoot mostly at 200–300 yds and this brake helped keep muzzle rise down so I could see impacts and adjust faster. Construction feels solid too — no wobble once tightened.

Put this on with the washer and jam nut; took just a few minutes. Looks good on the muzzle and the recoil is noticeably softer than before. Not top-tier brake performance, but absolutely worth the price point.

This muzzle brake was cheap but works solidly. Used it on a hunting trip and the rifle felt more settled after each shot than with my old device. I’d recommend it if you want recoil control without spending a lot.

Installed this brake on my AR-10 and the gas redirection is noticeable. Made a definite improvement in recoil control — my shoulder appreciated that on back-to-back strings. It’s a basic design, but it’s reliable and does the job.

Not flashy, but it’s built solid and seems tough. I loaded up some heavy hunting loads and the felt recoil was reduced compared to my old flash hider. Works great for the price if you don’t want to spend big on fancy brakes.

This muzzle brake helped tame the kick on my 18″ .308 pretty well. It isn’t magic but does lessen muzzle rise and felt recoil, which makes longer sessions more comfortable. Just make sure you thread it on straight.

I wasn’t sure how much a budget brake would help, but this one made follow-up shots noticeably quicker and more controlled. Installation was straightforward with the included jam nut and washer.

Swapped the factory flash hider for this MZ-02-01-B brake on my hunting rifle and loved the change — recoil feels lighter and muzzle rise is easier to manage. It’s not huge, but every little bit helps on heavy loads.

I slapped this brake on my .308 AR-10 build with a crush washer and jam nut, and it’s made a noticeable difference in felt recoil. Not as fancy as some high-end brakes out there but for the money it does exactly what I wanted.

Reasonable price
