Strike Industries WarHog Comp 5.56mm Muzzle Brake - 1/2"-28 Thread, Steel Melonite

The Strike Industries WarHog Comp is a lightweight 5.56mm muzzle brake designed for shooters who want effective recoil management without excessive size or weight. Built around a single-chamber design, the WarHog delivers straight-line recoil reduction—ideal if you're running a neutral setup and want to keep muzzle rise minimal during rapid fire or follow-up shots. At its core is CNC-machined steel with a Melonite finish, giving you a durable brake that'll stand up to regular range sessions and hunting trips alike. It threads onto any AR or other 5.56 platform with a 1/2"-28 muzzle connection.

What sets the WarHog apart is its compact footprint. Many muzzle brakes sacrifice shootability for performance—bulkier designs add length and weight that throw off your gun's balance. Strike Industries engineered the WarHog's baffle geometry to maximize efficiency in a minimal package, so you get serious recoil reduction without turning your rifle into a muzzle-heavy beast. Whether you're building a precision rifle, a mid-length AR for 3-gun, or a hunting rifle where maneuverability matters, the WarHog gives you the performance of much larger devices without the downside.

Installation is straightforward: thread it on, use the included crush washer to time it as needed, and you're done. The Melonite coating resists corrosion and handles outdoor use well. Note that the WarHog is not compatible with the SI Oppressor package.
