The Timber Creek Outdoors Heart Breaker Muzzle Brake transforms your AR-15's shooting characteristics with aggressive recoil reduction and distinctive heart-shaped port design. This precision-machined brake significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, enabling faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during rapid fire sequences.
What Makes This Different
The Heart Breaker features strategically angled ports that redirect gas flow to counteract both vertical and horizontal muzzle movement. Unlike basic linear compensators, this brake's multi-directional port configuration provides superior recoil mitigation while maintaining the compact profile essential for tactical applications. The Cerakote finish delivers exceptional corrosion resistance that outlasts standard Parkerizing by 300%.
Key Features
- Reduces felt recoil by approximately 40-50% compared to standard A2 flash hiders
- Precision CNC-machined from 4140 steel with Black Cerakote finish
- Standard 1/2"-28 TPI threads fit most .223/5.56 AR-15 barrels
