Product Description The American Precision Arms Gen 2 Micro Bastard Muzzle Brake is a precision-machined, high-performance brake designed for AR-platform rifles and hunting rifles chambered up to .30 caliber. Built from high-grade stainless steel, the Micro Bastard delivers a durable, long-lasting finish that stands up to rigorous use in the field and on the range. The Gen 2 series introduces a self-timing integral nut as a separate piece, enabling fast and hassle-free home installation in approximately 30 seconds without crush washers, peel washers, or the need for a gunsmith. The Micro Bastard&';s patented "Bastard" port design features a unique tooth geometry that redirects propellant gases away from the forward gas stream, creating a parachute effect that works against the firearm&';s natural recoil. Originally conceived for sportier, lighter-profile barrels, this brake has earned a strong following in the 3-gun competition world for its lightweight profile and exceptional recoil reduction. Compatible with calibers up to .308 Winchester, including 6.5mm, 6mm, and .223/5.56, the Gen 2 Micro Bastard is a versatile and effective muzzle device for a wide range of rifle platforms.
