The Rugged Suppressors MB026 delivers exceptional recoil reduction and muzzle control for 338 caliber rifles through its precision-engineered 3-port design. This muzzle brake integrates seamlessly with Rugged's R.U.M. (Rugged Universal Mount) system, providing shooters with the flexibility to quickly attach compatible suppressors when desired.
What Makes This Different
The MB026 features Rugged's proprietary Dual Taper Locking System, which creates a more secure interface than traditional single-taper designs. The M18x1 threading accommodates various 338 caliber platforms, while the three strategically positioned ports redirect gases to counteract both vertical and horizontal muzzle movement. This design reduces felt recoil by approximately 40-50% compared to standard flash hiders.
Key Features
- Three-port configuration optimized for 338 caliber ballistics
- M18x1 metric threading for broad rifle compatibility
- Dual Taper Locking System for enhanced suppressor attachment security
- R.U.M. mount compatibility with Rugged suppressor lineup
- Precision-machined from high-grade steel construction
- Corrosion-resistant finish rated for extended field use
- Self-timing design eliminates need for crush washers or shims
Long-range precision shooters benefit from the MB026's ability to maintain consistent point of impact while significantly reducing muzzle rise during rapid fire sequences. The brake performs effectively across temperature extremes and maintains zero shift when transitioning between brake-only and suppressed configurations. Competition shooters report faster target reacquisition times due to reduced muzzle displacement.
