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.

HYPERTAP® MUZZLE BRAKE
Excellent muzzle brake. Definitely reduced recoil and muzzle rise on my long range .308. Will definitely be buying another.

Blem issue was fixed unreasonably fast and respectfully
I can’t say enough good things about the customer service. This is a fantastic product and by God, these people stand behind their product. And they don’t waste time. I’m getting the runaround with a Palmetto lower with a Geissele trigger (at the website palmettostatearmory). I fully expect Palmetto to replace my new lower that is just out of spec. The lower does not fit on any AR upper. Simple problem. It took one week for them to acknowledge it, and they want five days afterwards to address the issue with either a fix or a replacement. Here at Precision Armament they agreed to fix the (blemish) issue the day after I contacted them. They said the fix in the mail the very next day I conversed with them online. I mean, what more can you ask? As a self-professed gun nut, with 3 muzzle brakes from this company. I have 2 Hypertap‘s and 1 M4-72. I fully intend on coming back. I felt the need to leave a glowing review because when a company treats their customers this we’ll I feel people should respect that, and companies like this need to thrive.

Best muzzle brake ever!
My 6.5 PRC shoots with less recoil then a 5.56 !!! Very very good to manage recoil and muzzle rise. Will buy some other for my 300 win. Mag.
