DESCRIPTION

Developed from the ground up and backed by knowledge gained from years of pushing the edge of muzzle device performance, the Hypertap muzzle brake delivers more than we’ve ever offered before. Our proprietary Hybrid Baffle Design combined with advanced Convergent-Divergent port geometry yields an unprecedented recoil reduction of over 84%*, nearly 10% higher than our M4-72, while maintaining modest 35-degree baffle angles and generous bore clearance. This results in exceptional safety, less gas blowback, better accuracy, and higher overall shooter comfort than any other device in its class. Fully tunable gas biasing allows the shooter to further reduce, or even eliminate, sight picture movement while firing. An integral universal timing nut eliminates the need for shims and allows quick field installation & removal using an adjustable wrench or the lightweight spanner tools (included). Additional features include: zero flash increase, compact lightweight design, a rugged skeletonized crown, cleaning friendly design, heat-treated stainless steel construction, a tough Ionbond® CrCN finish for superior durability and, as always, 100% Made in the USA.

Minimum recommended barrel length 14.5”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

When selecting a caliber for one of our muzzle devices, the correct choice is based on your cartridge's actual bullet diameter. For example; if you have a .300 Win Mag, you would select a 7.62/.308 muzzle device. This is because the bullet for that cartridge is a .308" diameter. For a more detailed explanation and examples, check out our Caliber Fit Guide.

Before you begin drilling out any ports on your Hypertap, it is very important to decide if you even need to do so.  With the Hypertap reducing such a high amount of recoil, there is often not enough force remaining to induce muzzle rise.  Unnecessary drilling of the brake could result in overcompensation - actually driving the muzzle down after each shot.  Additionally, excessive drilling can reduce the brake's overall recoil reduction rating.  This is due to the internal gases no longer following their intended path of the convergent-divergent baffles.  If after these considerations, you do decide to drill the Hypertap, we recommend starting with the front-most pilot holes and using a drill diameter smaller than the max diameter listed in the manual for your caliber.

The Slim Body Hypertap has an O.D. of 0.90", while the Standard Body has an O.D. of 1.09". Some users may prefer the fitment of one body type or another depending on the diameter of their firearm's barrel. In regards to performance, there is a negligible performance loss with the Slim Body, simply due to there being less internal surface area for the gases to be redirected. The exact amount of loss greatly depends on your caliber and load, but for example, standard 147gr FMJ .308 measures 70% recoil reduction with the Standard Body, and 67% with the Slim Body.

You can, we just don't really recommend it. Reverse-venting brakes do just that; vent gases in the reverse direction from what they were traveling. This design is how such high recoil reduction ratings are achieved. But because of that, gases and concussion are directed back to the shooter. Barrels below 14.5" can cause these forces to be quite drastic to some individuals, and more extreme depending on what caliber you are shooting. For a more detailed description, you can read our Muzzle Brake Safety Memo.

    Hypertap Muzzle Brake

    Posted by Corey James on 15th Oct 2024

    We are dealers for PA and all of our clients love these muzzle brakes! They are as effective if not more than the larger Terminator Btrakes and performance is unbelieveable plus the benefti of them being self-indexing without ugly nuts. These self-indexing brakes have a nice lock ring with provided spanner wrench... best in the business! Corey James area318.com

    Hypertap muzzlebreak on .308 hunting rifle

    Posted by Jake K on 9th Sep 2024

    My rifle is only about 11 pounds fully dresses and used to leave a nice bruise on my shoulder after 100rd of break in, sighting in, and some practice. After installation of the slim hypertap I put another 100 rounds through and I can definitively say that it's 100% worth the money. I didn't even have to drill out any top ports to assist with muzzle rise. It only added 2 ounces to the front of my rifle when I swapped it with my thread protector.

    Plain and simply the best

    Posted by Rocky on 15th Jul 2024

    This is by far the best muzzle device i have used period, the claims are real, now I wouldn't want to be standing next too one. It literally clears tables of things like full water bottles, keys ..... hearing. But as we know that pressure needs to go somewhere. The hypertap mitigates muzzle rise so well you really never get off target to have to require it. I highly recommend (and have ) this to anyone whose goal is a flat shot and faster target acquisition .
