Midwest Industries .45-70 Caliber .500 Diameter Two Chamber Muzzle Brake

The Midwest Industries .45-70 Caliber .500 Diameter Two Chamber Muzzle Brake is purpose-built for lever-action rifles like Marlins and Henrys that fire full-power cartridges. If you've shot a .45-70 or similar large-bore rifle, you know the recoil and muzzle rise can be punishing—especially on a lighter lever gun. This two-chamber brake design directly addresses that, using strategically positioned ports to redirect gas and control climb so you can stay on target and shoot faster without your rifle climbing into the sky.

Built tough from tool steel with a phosphate finish, this brake is engineered for serious hunters and shooters who demand durability in hard use. It's made in the U.S.A. and weighs in at 4 ounces, so it won't significantly affect your rifle's balance. The .500-inch diameter bore is sized specifically for .45-70 rifles, and it features standard 5/8-24 threads for straightforward installation—though we always recommend having a certified gunsmith verify thread compatibility and bore sizing before mounting any muzzle device.

Recoil management on a .45-70 lever gun transforms your shooting experience: faster follow-up shots, less fatigue, and better accuracy over the course of a hunt or range session. Whether you're after big game or simply want to shoot your .45-70 more comfortably, this brake delivers practical, no-nonsense performance.
