The Christensen Arms Side-Baffle muzzle brake delivers exceptional recoil reduction and muzzle control for precision .223 Remington rifles. Machined from natural titanium construction, this brake redirects gas through strategically positioned side ports to minimize felt recoil while maintaining shooter comfort at the firing line.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional compensators that direct blast upward, the side-baffle design channels gases horizontally through precision-machined ports. This configuration reduces muzzle rise by up to 70% compared to standard flash hiders while adding minimal weight to the barrel. The natural titanium construction provides corrosion resistance superior to steel alternatives while weighing 40% less than comparable steel brakes.
Key Features
- Natural titanium construction for corrosion resistance and weight reduction
- Side-baffle port design minimizes recoil and muzzle rise
- 1/2"-28 TPI threading fits standard .223/5.56 barrels
- Optimized for .920" diameter bull barrels
- Precision-machined ports for consistent gas redirection
- Low-profile design maintains sight picture
- Self-timing installation reduces complexity
Performance testing shows significant recoil reduction across multiple shooting disciplines. Competition shooters benefit from faster follow-up shots and improved target acquisition. The brake maintains effectiveness with both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition while producing manageable side blast for range use.
