Spikes Tactical Barking Spider2 Muzzle Brake - Black Nitride, 4140 Chromoly Steel, 5/8"-24 tpi Threads, 3.75" OAL, 1.40" Diameter for 30 Cal.

The Spikes Tactical Barking Spider2 muzzle brake is a 30-caliber muzzle device engineered to manage recoil, redirect blast, and tame concussion in short-barrel rifle builds and high-volume shooting applications. Built from 4140 chromoly steel with a black nitride finish, this brake threads onto 5/8"-24 barrels and features a compact 3.75" overall length and 1.40" diameter profile. The modular design accepts multiple end caps and attachments, letting you configure your setup for hunting, tactical use, suppressor compatibility, or whatever your mission demands.

What sets the Barking Spider2 apart is its reinforced blast cone design—supported at both front and rear—which resists deformation under sustained fire and extreme temperatures. The integrated striking device on the front serves double duty as a glass breaker, while 1 1/8" wrench flats make disassembly straightforward for cleaning. The body can be pinned permanently to your barrel to meet legal length requirements without sacrificing the ability to break down the brake itself from the front. This approach is especially useful if you're running a short barrel and need the flexibility to maintain or swap components.

Constructed entirely in the USA, the Barking Spider2 is purpose-built for reliability in short-barrel ARs, SBRs, and any platform where dwell time is tight or extra backpressure helps cycle suppressed or subsonic ammunition. Whether you're looking to reduce shooter fatigue, protect hearing, or simply get a compact brake that won't sacrifice performance, this is a solid choice for anyone serious about precision shooting or tactical rifle work.
