Hiperfire Hipercomp Gen2 5.56 NATO Muzzle Brake - Black, Threaded

The Hiperfire Hipercomp Gen2 5.56 NATO muzzle brake brings serious recoil reduction to your AR platform without the bulk. Built around a high-performance compensator design, this brake controls muzzle rise and recoil impulse where it counts—downrange, where your follow-up shots matter. It's threaded 1/2-28 UNEF (right-hand) and comes in black, making it compatible with standard AR barrels chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington.

What sets the Hipercomp Gen2 apart is its compact footprint: it matches the size of a standard mil-spec birdcage flash hider, so you get serious recoil management without adding length to your platform. That means it'll work on short-barreled uppers, precision rifle builds, or any 5.56 setup where you need performance without sacrifice. The brake also plays nice with M9/M10 bayonet mounts if that's part of your kit, and it tips the scales at just 2.4 ounces—a negligible weight penalty for the recoil control you gain.

Installation is straightforward: Hiperfire includes a crush washer and designed it to install with a standard MIL armorer's wrench, so you can get it on your barrel without specialty tools. Whether you're running a duty rifle, a competition build, or a hunting AR, the Hipercomp Gen2 lets you shoot faster and more accurately by cutting the time between recoil recovery and your next sight picture.
