Troy Industries Claymore Muzzle Brake - Black Steel, 1/2"-28 TPI Threads, 2.25" OAL for 5.56x45mm NATO AR-Platform

The Troy Industries Claymore muzzle brake is a compact recoil-reduction device engineered for 5.56x45mm NATO AR-platform rifles. Named for its resemblance to the historical weapon (and stamped with tongue-in-cheek "Point Toward Enemy" markings), this black steel brake channels blast and noise forward, away from the shooter's position, delivering measurable recoil control without the footprint or signature of heavier brakes. It threads onto 1/2"-28 TPI barrels and measures 2.25" in overall length, making it a practical choice for mid-length builds where you want performance without excessive bulk.

What sets the Claymore apart is its dual-duty design. The recessed crown and raised sawtooth rim aren't just for looks—that geometry functions as a secondary breaching tool, a handy feature if your rifle pulls double duty at the range and in tactical scenarios. The brake produces an exceptionally low dust signature, which means less visible disturbance around your shooting position and clearer sight picture recovery between shots. For shooters building a tack-driving 5.56 or tuning an existing AR, this is a no-nonsense option that balances function and economy.

Installation is straightforward on any AR with a 1/2"-28 threaded muzzle. The compact length keeps your rifle handy without adding unnecessary reach, and the black steel finish is ready to go out of the box. Whether you're setting up a duty rifle, competition build, or general-purpose carbine, the Claymore delivers the recoil and noise control serious shooters expect without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Claymore fit my AR-15 or AR-10?

The Claymore is designed for 5.56x45mm NATO AR-platform rifles with a 1/2"-28 TPI threaded barrel. Verify your barrel's thread pitch before purchase. AR-10 (.308) rifles typically use different thread specifications and are not compatible.

What does the sawtooth rim do?

Beyond the brake's primary function of reducing recoil, the recessed crown and raised sawtooth rim design allows secondary use as a breaching device—useful if your rifle serves tactical or defensive roles.

How much recoil reduction can I expect?

The Claymore channels blast and noise forward to dampen recoil and improve control. Specific recoil reduction metrics are not provided; actual performance depends on ammunition, barrel length, and shooting conditions.

Is this brake loud for the shooter?

By design, the Claymore directs blast and noise forward, away from the shooter, resulting in reduced report at the shooter's position. Shooters downrange will experience more noise.
