Muzzle Brake Breakdown – Video Comparison
Pump your brakes and break out the reading glasses for the Muzzle Brake Breakdown, folks!
Thompson Center Encore Muzzle Brakes
Through the years we’ve seen a lot of innovation in the firearms industry. We like to think we’ve contributed along the way with our tuned T/C barrels and jaw-dropping list of customizations. Today we’re launching another great addition to our barrel lineup, the Sixer. The Sixer is a timed muzzle brake that expels gases from six ports that are milled into two sides of the brake, and rotate upwards 30° to aid in muzzle rise for less overall recoil and faster post-shot sight acquisition. As shown in our Muzzle Brake Breakdown, the new Sixer is more effective than not only our previously offered muzzle brakes but also a SilencerCo Harvester 300.
Watch the Muzzle Brake Breakdown
- 1 – Unmatched felt recoil reduction. Our other brakes work well, but not like the Sixer.
- 2 – Prone ready! No dusty optics or lungs like the standard radial brakes blow up while shooting prone.
- 3 – Shorter length than the original 360°, yet more felt recoil reduction.
- 4 – Minimizes muzzle rise. Great for keeping a more stable field of view.
- 5 – Improves accuracy. No flinching = tighter groups.
- 6 – Works on a variety of calibers for ultimate versatility.
The Sixer – Muzzle Brake
Now that you’ve experienced the Muzzle Brake Breakdown, you can see what we’re so excited about! Adding the Sixer to our lineup in both integral and thread-on options has already been taken care of. We tested the brakes with the 308 Winchester and Federal 180 SP ammo as a good indicator to show the effectiveness between styles. We plan on testing further with both smaller and larger calibers and modifying the Sixer for each recoil style if necessary. Again, thanks for reading up on this, folks.
