M4-72 Severe-Duty® Compensator

Bought the M4-72 for my AR-10 because the recoil was just too much for me (old man with a bad shoulder). It worked so good, I bought one for my older brother.

Approximately eighteen months ago, I procured a muzzle brake to subdue my Bergara B14 chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum. After having it installed for some time and discharging several rounds, I felt compelled to express my utter satisfaction with its performance. The highly effective device has vastly diminished the felt recoil of my weapon, making shooting sessions a delightful endeavor. As I age, the onset of joint inflammation in my shoulder has considerably undermined my physical ability. However, the said muzzle brake has mitigated this issue and allows me to discharge rounds without any undue discomfort or impediments.

I was looking for the best muzzle brake to reduce recoil on my AR-15 as much as possible. I resorted to YT, and someone used a sled to demonstrate various brakes. This one had the most reduction in recoil, so I looked it up here and bought it. It is amazing. The barrel doesn't seem to move the slightest even when rapid firing. The blowback will knock your hat off (sarcasm here), and make sure your hearing protection is on. It is definitely louder than anything I have on my other AR builds. But it is worth it, in my opinion.

Thier claim of huge recoil reduction is 100% true, I was stunned. People behind you to your right or left won't like it, but that's okay. ?

I guess you could say I like the M4-72…I have 6 of them.

I bought this brake in 2016 and have run somewhere around 30,000 rounds through it on two different guns. It is hands down the best brake on the market once size and weight are taken into consideration. While there are a few brakes out there that have surpassed the recoil mitigation of the M4-72 (such as PA's own Hypertap), they are always longer, wider, and heavier. The M4-72 does 90% of what those other brakes do while being the same size as an A2 flash hider and only 2.6oz. It can also accept A2 mounted attachments like a BFA or a suppressor(?). (I haven't tested it with a can yet. I'm worried about excessive gas blowby where the machined wrench flats are.) The only downside to the M4-72 is severe noise and concussion and I do mean severe. This is hands down the most obnoxious brake of everyone in my gun club. Nobody will want to stand near you outside and don't even think about shooting with it indoors. This brake turns recoil into noise. That said, I absolutely recommend this brake and will buy another.

If you want a compensator to tame muzzle rise and recoil this is the one you want. Very effective . This is the second one I’ve bought.

I put this on a new 5.56 20' DMR build and wow, it decreases almost all of the felt recoil! I couldn't believe it! I've used other far more expensive brakes that didn't work this well. I'm a believer! It's awesome for the shooter but the guy next to you won't like it!
