The Micro brake was initially designed for lighter sportier barrels but has gained significant popularity in the AR market for its lightweight and highly effective performance, particularly in 3-gun competitions. Unlike many competitors' products that are cast or printed, our brakes are precision machined from high-grade Stainless Steel for superior durability and reliability. The Gen 2 series builds upon the success of the Gen 1 by introducing a separate nut design. This innovation allows shooters to easily install the brake themselves at home without the need for crush washers or peel washers, typically taking just 30 sec. Competitive shooters benefit from the ability to quickly remove the brake for cleaning or transfer between barrels, reducing costs associated with gear and smith visits. For gunsmiths, this design simplifies installation just thread to specification and you're ready-to go, eliminating the hassle of brake indexing.
