The VG6 Precision EPSILON muzzle brake delivers significant recoil reduction and muzzle rise control for AR-15 platforms chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. This black nitride finished brake features precision-machined 17-4 stainless steel construction that withstands high round counts while maintaining consistent performance.
What Makes This Different
The EPSILON utilizes VG6's hybrid chamber design that combines compensator ports with brake chambers to redirect gas flow in multiple directions. Unlike standard A2 flash hiders that only reduce flash, this brake reduces felt recoil by approximately 50% while virtually eliminating muzzle rise. The 17-4 stainless steel construction provides superior strength compared to standard carbon steel alternatives, with the black nitride finish offering enhanced corrosion resistance.
Key Features
- Reduces felt recoil by approximately 50% compared to A2 flash hider
- 17-4 stainless steel construction with black nitride finish
- Hybrid chamber design combines brake and compensator functions
- Standard 1/2x28 TPI threading fits most AR-15 barrels

The EPSILON performs effectively across various shooting disciplines, from competitive 3-gun matches where rapid follow-up shots are critical to precision shooting where consistent barrel harmonics matter. The brake's design maintains shooter comfort during extended range sessions while the nitride finish resists fouling buildup. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this brake for patrol rifles due to its reliability and reduced shooter fatigue during qualification courses.
