The Tapco TAP22004 muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise on .22 LR rifles, enabling faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during rapid fire sequences. This black anodized aluminum brake features a compact 2-inch overall length that maintains rifle balance while delivering measurable recoil reduction.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic thread protectors, this muzzle brake incorporates strategically placed ports that redirect propellant gases upward and to the sides. The .920-inch diameter provides substantial surface area for gas redirection without adding excessive weight to the barrel. The black anodized finish resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance through thousands of rounds.
Key Features
- Black anodized aluminum construction resists wear and corrosion
- 1/2x28 threading fits most .22 LR rifle barrels
- 2-inch overall length maintains rifle balance and maneuverability
- .920-inch diameter maximizes gas redirection surface area
- Precision-machined ports optimize gas flow for recoil reduction
- Lightweight aluminum adds minimal weight to barrel
- Compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition types
This brake performs effectively with both standard velocity and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition, reducing muzzle jump that can throw off sight alignment during competitive shooting or training sessions. The anodized aluminum construction withstands the moderate pressures of .22 LR while remaining lightweight enough for extended shooting sessions. Installation requires basic gunsmithing tools and proper torque specifications to ensure secure mounting.
