The Shrewd #1 Muzzle Brake fits .22 caliber barrels threaded 1/2-28. Made from chrome moly steel in a silver finish, it redirects propellant gas to the sides to counter felt recoil and muzzle rise, so your sights come back on target faster for follow-up shots.

The 1/2-28 thread pitch is the common standard for .22 caliber rifles, which makes this brake an easy upgrade for many builds. Chrome moly steel holds up to heat and repeated firing better than aluminum brakes.

Features:

• For .22 caliber bores
• 1/2-28 threads
• Chrome moly steel construction
• Silver finish
• Reduces felt recoil and muzzle climb

What to expect: a muzzle brake makes the rifle louder and sends more blast to the sides, so shooters next to you on the line will notice it. Hearing protection is a must.

Installation:

• Verify your barrel's thread pitch and bore diameter before installing. Never mount a .22 brake on a larger-caliber barrel.
• Use a crush washer or shims to time the brake so the side ports sit level, at 3 and 9 o'clock.
• Check bore alignment before firing. A misaligned brake can cause baffle strikes and damage.
• Check local laws, since muzzle brakes are regulated in some states.
