Midwest Industries 5.56mm Two-Chamber Muzzle Brake - 1/2"-28 Thread Steel Black

The Midwest Industries 5.56mm two-chamber muzzle brake is a no-nonsense recoil management tool built to keep your rifle on target. With its aggressive two-chamber design, this brake redirects gas away from the muzzle to tame climb and let you stay behind the gun—whether you're running rapid fire at the range, working through a three-gun stage, or setting up for follow-up shots during a hunt. Threaded in the standard 1/2"-28 pitch for AR-15s and most 5.56/.223 rifles, it threads straight on and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Built from tool steel with a phosphate finish, this brake is forged to handle thousands of rounds without wearing out or losing its bite. At 3 ounces, it adds minimal weight while delivering meaningful recoil reduction. The two-chamber geometry is proven geometry—it works because the physics work, not because of marketing hype. A crush washer is included in the box to ensure a solid, repeatable zero.

Made in the USA, this is the kind of straightforward equipment that proves itself downrange. No chrome plating that flakes, no loose internals, no surprise failures. You thread it on, shoot it, and move on to the next stage or the next hunting season. If you're serious about controlling your rifle's recoil and muzzle movement, this is the kind of tool that earns its place on your upper.

What's included in the box?

The brake ships with a crush washer, which you'll use during installation to ensure proper seating and a repeatable zero.
