Gear Update – Area 419 Hellfire Self-Timing Muzzle Brake

In this gear update the 6.5 Guys take a look at the Area 419 Hellfire Self Timing Muzzle Brake System, as well as the Area 419 Suppressor Adapter. The Hellfire brake is a highly effective muzzle brake which effectively mitigates recoil impulse and has no affect on POI shift from removing or attaching it to a rifle system.

Key Features of this brake include:

• Extremely easy installation, brake WILL NOT turn as you torque the collar to lock.  No more guessing where the brake ports will line up once you tighten it down!
• Simple round knurled nut that requires no tools to time the brake.
• – Return to zero is excellent.  This means removal of your brake and re-installation will not require a zero change.
• Suppressor mount adapters for this system are compatible with a wide array of suppressors makes/models including Thunder Beast Arms and Silencerco.
• Simply torque the universal adapter onto your barrel with a 5/8″ wrench, this piece never has to come off.  Next, LEFT HAND thread the brake/collar assembly onto the adapter until it is almost snug.  Now rotate the brake until it is level, push the brake into the adapter and you will feel it lock onto the taper.  Now tighten the collar fully by hand, and you are done!
