Part of the Patent Pending HELLFIRE Modular Brake System
The HELLFIRE Self Timing Brake system is not just another knockoff copy of existing self timing brakes. It was engineered from the ground up to be extremely effective, easier to install, and much more versatile. Read more on all of its advantages below:
Caliber Selection
In order to simplify the choices, we have four caliber selections available for the HELLFIRE brake. The difference in efficiency between using a caliber specific brake bore, and the next size up is so minimal if not non existent that we decided to simplify things in order to lower overall costs to you the consumer. As you can imagine, trying to stock the exact quantities required of six or so different calibers would be impossible.
223/6mm – Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.243 (6mm), ie 223, 5.56 NATO, 204, 17 cal, etc
6.5mm – Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.264 (6.5mm), ie 257, (Magnums OK)
7mm/308 – Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.308, ie 7mm, 284, 270, (Magnums OK)
338 – Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.338, ie 338WM, 338LM, 338NM, 338 Edge. See our Sidewinder brake for ultimate reduction on these cal’s
Notable Features
– Extremely easy installation, brake WILL NOT turn as you torque the collar to lock. No more guessing where the brake ports will line up once you tighten it down!
– Simple round knurled nut that requires no tools to time the brake.
– Return to zero is excellent. This means removal of your brake and re-installation will not require a zero change.
– Suppressor mount adapters available HERE
– Simply torque the universal adapter onto your barrel with a 5/8″ wrench, this piece never has to come off. Next, LEFT HAND thread the brake/collar assembly onto the adapter until it is almost snug. Now rotate the brake until it is level, push the brake into the adapter and you will feel it lock onto the taper. Now tighten the collar fully by hand, and you are done!
HELLFIRE Muzzle Brake
– Rearward facing ports for the ultimate in recoil reduction. Independently tested side by side with the best brakes on the market. The HELLFIRE showed 52% recoil reduction on a 6.5 Creedmoor test rifle. This is ~4% more than the one of the most popular brakes on the market.
– Proprietary port design controls muzzle rise without the use of top porting.
– Face of brake is engraved with caliber to indicate the top for correct orientation, and a horizontal line to aid in leveling.
– Made from heat treated 17-4PH Stainless Steel
– Brakes will be available in Black Nitride finish or raw stainless (all universal adapters will be black)
– Manufactured on state of the art CNC Machines right here in NW Ohio. 100% Made in USA.
– 1″ OD Brake, 1.1″ OD collar
– Brake assembly will add 2.6″ from the thread shoulder (approx 2″ added to OAL of barrel)
– Thread spec diagram can be downloaded HERE
– Weighs 4.8oz for a 5/8-24 6.5mm brake
Maintenance
Maintenance on any muzzle brake is essential. Just like your barrel, muzzle brakes need cleaned. Over time carbon will build up in the ports, mainly the last port as the first two are semi-self cleaning from the muzzle blast. When this carbon builds up, it will eventually get to the point that bullets can actually strike it. Depending on your shooting regimen you may not notice this, you might just call it a flier. But in a competition when you need every round to impact, this is critical. Carbon bullet strikes are a worst case scenario, but the buildup can also cause accuracy or POI issues just due to airflow changes in the brake ports.
NOTE: The use of Lemishine (or any citric-acid cleaner) or CLR to clean your brake will likely discolor the black nitride, and will void the lifetime warranty of your product. Don’t do this. Seriously. It’ll turn pink and you’ll feel like an idiot.
- The best cleaning method for any muzzle brake is PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. If you clean the brake every time you clean the barrel (200-400 round intervals, shorter for 6mm rounds) it will make your life much much easier. With that being said, just soak the brake in a carbon cleaner like Boretech C4 and all the carbon should come right out, especially if you have a Black Nitride brake. Raw stainless brakes can be more challenging to clean because the surface is more porous. If necessary, you can use any kind of cleaning brush to aid in the removal of carbon from the ports. Black Nitride is harder than any material they attach to a brush, so you will not scratch the surface. Raw stainless may scratch if you use a stainless or other harder bristle brush.
- If you decide to wait until 1000 rounds or more, you will have a lot of carbon buildup in the 2nd and 3rd port which will take some effort to remove. Best method here is probably to soak for a day or two in C4 and use a pick to get the big chunks out. Then follow the above method to get the remainder off.
- You should also clean your Universal Adapter with the same care. Every time you clean your barrel, let the carbon cleaner from patching the barrel soak on the muzzle for a few minutes and use a q-tip to wipe any carbon from the barrel crown and inside the end of the adapter. Soak a patch in carbon cleaner and wipe the taper surface of the adapter off. If there is persistent carbon on the surface, use steel wool to remove, it will not damage the surface.
- Brakes should not be placed in a wet tumbler, specifically not one with pins or media of any sort. The small pins can work their way into the collar/retaining ring area, and this is likely to compromise the integrity of the retention device in the brake. Foreign material here can result in the brake becoming a projectile. This is not safe, and will void the product warranty.

Awesome Brake and company to deal with. Brake is extremely effective…easily on par with anything else on the market. However, its not just a brake its a system that allows you to swap from brake to suppressor in the field with no tools.
Matt –
The Hellfire Brake is the most innovative muzzle brake/suppressor adapter on the market. The ingenuity and fit/finish of this brake is very impressive out of the box, but the performance also really shines. After switching to the Hellfire I was able to see my trace more often (especially off barricades) and my follow up shots were quicker due to decreased recoil and muzzle blast direction away for the shooter. This will soon be the most run brake in the PRS
Craig –
This is a heck of a brake, and when the can adapters hit the market it’ll be huge. It was easy to install and performs as well or better than anything on the market. Fit and finish are pristine, and Jon is great to work with.

Area 419 Hellfire Self Timing Brake Review
This thing is loud, people will hate you… people will want you to leave the range… people may leave the range because of you. It’s louder than any other brake I’ve used on a 30 cal.
That being said: This is the best brake I have ever used on a 30 cal. It’s staying on my RPR 🙂
Packaging:
Simple, easy. You’re not paying for them to package this thing up all pretty, which is good. It also comes well packed… which means you will receive it in perfect condition, which is also good.
Installation:
Screw that thingy on and then that thingy on, time it, push on it and tighten the collar.
Seriously though it takes less than 15 minutes to mount both pieces, time and secure. Check out the nicely written, straight forward instructions and/or youtube videos by the creator Jon Addis.
Aesthetics/Finish:
Looks damn good! Machining is excellent, no burs or rough spots. The nitride finish on mine was perfect. Even finish throughout the device and smooth as well. Looks and feels more expensive than it is.
It also looks nice on your rifle! The ports have a nice aggressive look to them, but they are completely functional.
Performance:
Okay… so this thing is loud and annoying to anyone next to you, or standing 45 degrees behind you to the left or right. People asked me if I was shooting a heavy magnum… its that loud.
Now… even though it was annoying to the people around me, they asked what brake it was, as they said it looks like you’re shooting a .22 due to the complete lack of recoil impulse.
I am not kidding you. This brake makes my .308 feel like a .223… IF THAT. I know this is subjective to each person… but I will guarantee you, anyone will notice a difference with it on.
An older gentleman at the range sent a few rounds down range with my RPR, and his face lit up. He said he barely felt it. He also liked the RPR Image;).
The slightly upward flares on the ports are just enough to keep the muzzle down and on target, they are also flared rearward to keep the rifle from kicking backward to reduce felt impulse. It’s the perfect balance of compensation and braking. Truly excellent design, and its such a simple design.
I could watch my impacts through my glass 100 and beyond. I have had top ported brakes that would still want to muzzle hop on me. Follow up shots were just a breeze… I only needed a split second of correction to send another on target. For steel; I was able to blast through my 5 round mag so quickly and accurately, that I wished I had a 30 rounder loaded and ready to go.
I directly compared this to my Gen 2 “Hybrid Brake”, and I feel that this brought down the recoil impulse noticeably, but, it also controlled the muzzle far better than the Ruger brake.
I shot 100 rounds in this session, and my shoulder was ready for more! I forgot to re tighten the collar after for first 10 shots (as instructed in the manual)… but all was well. I remembered after shot 50… and I couldn’t get it to tighten… so I don’t think its going anywhere as long as you give it a good twist before shooting or during initial install. Might be wise to check after the first 5-10 shots… but its design does lend itself to be secure with just a good hand tightening.
Couple all this with how easy it is to remove and clean, or remove and install your suppressor… its a no-brainer and a thoughtful design.
TLDR:
Loud AF, outperforms its BARK.
If you live in a state that does not allow suppressors or you don’t want to spend cash on one… or just want (IMO) the best recoil reduction you can get for the price…. Go get one 😉
Will Ott (verified owner) –
I had a Terminator brake on my .338 Lapua but could never use my Magneto speed chronograph as it was just to long, when my Area 419 brake arrived I was a bit skeptical about it as the Terminator brake works so well with recoil reduction and this unit is so small I figured there was no way it would be as effective.
Well I installed the unit to give it a try and was I blown away, I would say it is just as effective as my previous brake and I could stay on target the entire time after the shot without any problem and makes follow up shots a breeze.
I am a machinist and the fit and finish on the product is absolutely top notch along with the fact it is small enough to use with my chronograph now the design makes it extremely easy to remove for cleaning the rifle.
Do not hesitate to pick one up you will be glad you did.
Thank you Jon for making a phenomenal product!!!!
Josh (verified owner) –
Awesome brake that installs in minutes! I have this on an 18″ SPR 223 and its very effective and LOUD! Easy install, great aesthetics, and does the job without crush washers or a smith! Throw in the quick shipping and its a no brainer…. I’ll be back for more.

Jon sells this system short.
Yes, the Universal Adapter and Brake is the core of the system. It works and it works well!…but it just the beginning of the overall Hellfire system.
I have two brakes, a .30 cal and a 6.5, a direct thread mount w/an AAC Brakeout suppressor mount on it, and a thread protector. I also have 5 Universal adapters and will be purchasing more.
With that selection of attachments and with my firearms already having the appropriate Universal Adapter on them, I can mix-n-match the attachments at will from rig-to-rig-to-rig.
Suppressor on the .308? No problem…put the direct thread adapter on and mount the AAC suppressor.
Brake on the 5.56 AR?…No-problem…mount the 6.5 Brake on it.
Shooting F-Class with the 6.5 Creedmoor and can’t use a brake or suppressor? No-problem…spin-on the thread protector and have at it…THEN mount the 6.5 brake for PRS practice that afternoon!
No other system even comes close! The cost of this system is FAR below the VALUE of it. I’ll not buy anything else for this purpose.
Aaron Short (verified owner) –
Hellfire brake was packaged well and adds to the craftsmanship of the product. Comes with a “thank you” from Jon, which is a lost expression today.
Greatly reduced the recoil on my 6.5. My 12 year old said it best when after he shot it, turned and asked me ” where’d the kicky go?”
You will not regret buying one!
Kevin (verified owner) –
Best brake on the market! You can’t beat this brake, extremely easy to set up, at home or in the field. Reduces recoil without excessive noise, as far as I’m concerned. It has improved my accuracy immensely. Great outfit to deal with! Thanks Jon.
Calvin Prestwich –
Best brake on the market. We test tons and this one is amazing. Easy to use, easy shoot with and install.
Dean (verified owner) –
Thanks to Jon for turning out such a high quality brake. I purchased a brake from Jon a month or two back. I like my new Hellfire so much on my 6mm Creedmoor, I already pre-ordered a Sidewinder for my .300 RUM. Buy with confidence. There is not a better brake on the market.
Chip –
I’ve been a user of Muzzle Brakes for years. I’ve alway been left disappointed with their installation and damage to the finish after several cycles of install and removal. The Area419 brake is an amazing asset. I frequently shoot tactical style matches and F-Class. The latter requires removal of any brake. The way that this brake installs, times, and is removed is a dream. It reduces recoil enough that kids can enjoy shooting large rifle cartridges. The machine work on this brake is beyond compare. My PVA Mad Scientist brake has sharp edges, and marks from poor machining. The Hellfire is quite simply the best brake I’ve had the pleasure to use. I will be purchasing many more. I look forward to trying our the rest of Area419’s products as well.
Thomas (verified owner) –
This brake is fantastic. I run the 30 cal brake on a 6.5 creed defiance barreled action in an aics stock. The recoil impulse is soft and straight to the rear, so much so that I can easily watch my own impacts at 100 yards while shooting on 15-20 power. Installation is a cake walk, and being able to take the brake off for cleaning makes life a lot easier. I am now considering getting my hunting rifle threaded to use the same brake to make follow up shots quicker in the field. Buy with confidence.
Mark Kranz (Wyzrd on SH) (verified owner) –
Awesome, high quality product! Was very fast and easy to install, and has serious recoil reduction and helps with muzzle rise too! I will be putting one of these brakes on all my upcoming rifles. Shipping was fast and the fit and finish of this brake is top notch. Thanks for putting out such a great brake Jon! Can’t wait to buy one of your rifles next.
Joel –
Hey Jon-
Just wanted to let you know I put my Hellfire muzzle brake on my 6.5CM the other day and gave it a go. The reduction in felt recoil was amazing. Not scientific but I’m guessing the recoil was reduced by darn near half. I can now watch the bullet go down range through my optics and stay on target. And, install time was literally just minutes.
Appreciate you putting out such a great product. And kudos on the ship time too.

jonathan.caldito (verified owner) –
Wow just WOW! I installed the Hellfire brake on my brand new rifle and liked how it felt but was pretty loud. I removed the Hellfire brake, just to see what it would feel like, and noticed a big difference in increased felt recoil and was so jumpy that I’d lose the target through my scope. I quickly reinstalled the HellFire brake and was able to keep the target through my scope. It really does feel like a 50% reduction in recoil. I highly recommend to get one!
Les (verified owner) –
I ordered one of these muzzle brakes from Area419 and while waiting for it to arrive I found out that I could not bring it into Canada and I think as a foreigner (Canadian) it was illegal for me to be in possession of gun parts in the US without appropriate licenses.
Emailed Area 419 and there was absolutely no problem in returning the item with no restocking fee. First class customer service.
Rich (verified owner) –
The Hellfire Brake is absolutely one of the best muzzlebrakes out there! I received mine within a few days of ordering it and I couldn’t be happier. Fit and finish is outstanding, very easy install and what a difference it makes. I installed it on my Bergara HMR 6.5 Creedmoor and very little recoil, can watch impact. Keep up the outstanding work Area 419!
Richard Luna (verified owner) –
Awesome brake and awesome guys to deal with. I have run the brake on everything from 6xc to 300wm. Outstanding recoil management. And the ability to move the brake to other rifles with the adapter and or suppressor adapter. Excellent!!!!
sheepdog8117 (verified owner) –
First of all, I placed my order for this on Monday and received it in two days….. extremely fast processing, handling and shipping!
The brake was well packaged in a form-fitting dense foam insert inside a very nice and thick cardboard box….there was no way for it to get damaged during shipping.
This muzzle brake is everything you’d want in such a device!! I installed this on my Bergara B14 HMR 6.5 Creedmore yesterday. With the included instructions and YouTube video, installation was quick and simple.
The precision, finish and fitment of this brake leaves nothing to be desired. It is perfect and well worth the price.
The performance of this brake is exceptional! Recoil reduction is at least 50%. Before the brake was installed, recoil and muzzle jump was so much that I had to use reduced magnification in order to see my hits or misses on steel at 600 yards. With this brake, I can use full magnification (24x) and easily maintain a visual on the target at 600 through the scope no problem.
With this brake, the recoil of my 6.5 Creedmoor is now down to about .223 levels, maybe a tad more. But there is no more sore cheek at the end of a box or two of ammo, and no more stiff neck from absorbing so much recoil.
Even my friend, who has shot my rifle before the brake was installed, commented on how the rifle doesn’t jump like before. When he shot it, he said it felt almost as soft as his .223.
I am 100% satisfied with this brake. I will without a doubt order more products and services from Area419!
Mark C. (verified owner) –
Thank you very much for all your help in choosing this brake.
After much research I settled on the hellfire self timing muzzle brake for a .308 for my twelve year old daughter.
It reduced recoil significantly and she was able to handle the recoil with no issues.
I wanted her to have a caliber with enough knockdown power to handle any game she might get the opportunity to take . She was able to take a nice Audad this weekend at 175 yards. It was her first animal to take and she was very excited. I would highly recommend this product.

Brian (verified owner) –
I put this brake on my Rem 700/.308 WIN to replace another brake that everyone raves about, but with which I had serious issues with reproducible muzzle velocities. I just spent four days in a precision rifle course and must have sent well over 300 rounds through it, and I can tell you it was a gamechanger: quicker follow-up shots and what felt like no recoil. This clearly is on its way to a number one brake — for my set-up, it is everything I hoped for and more.
Wayne C (verified owner) –
An amazingly effective brake. Beautiful craftsmanship, well packaged and installation and timing were a breeze on my AR10 platform. Felt recoil was not unpleasant before install but has dramatically improved my ability to track shot placement.
Jayson K (verified owner) –
Beautifully crafted brake as a stand alone brake or if you use it as an attachment for suppressors.
The best I’ve used at recoil reduction.
Jorge Bonilla –
I own four of these Hellfire brakes since they are very effective. I shoot PRS/NRL matches and the brakes help me stay on target for faster follow up shots. The Hellfire also helps reduce recoil a lot.

I have ran this brake for several years on my 6.5cm and 6mm. They work amazing. My favorite thing about them is the ease of installation, no washers to mess with. Just line it up,, give it a tap and tighten it down. Lockup on them solid as can be. Recoil reduction is amazing.
Darryl –
These brakes are awesome. Recoil mitigation is substantial, easy to install and extremely modular. Best system on the market.

This is the best self timing brake on the market. I have tried a lot of brakes and this is the only one that makes me happy. Recoil reduction is fantastic and timing the brake is easy and consistent.
Gus (verified owner) –
Great product! Makes a 6.5CM enjoyable to shoot for even the most recoil sensitive shooters! Ease of installation is a 10/10, I understand the left hand threading but that’s the only part I can say I’m not real wild about! Much more cost effective to buy their adapters for running a can on all your threaded weapons.
Grayson Law (verified owner) –
My rifle came with a muzzle brake manufactured for another suppressor. Well with the Maverick sitting in jail, I went ahead and picked this one up and put it on my PRS rifle so when the Maverick got out, we’d be ready to go! Boy was I surprised in the difference this brake made in my 6.5 Creedmoor over the brake I previously had on my rifle! These guys have really put in the development time with these! I could not recommend them enough! I now own 2 of them!

Man I love
This break. It’s kills the recoil. Not to mention it’s just easy to install and remove and the build quality is top notch. Not to mention I have the adapter to install my Supressors when I want. Couldn’t ask for more. And when anyone asks my opinion on a break. This is what I recommend. .

I have one of these and a sidewinder I love these brakes they work really well!
Austin Tressler –
Got my Hellfire for my recent x47 build. Very nice piece of equipment. Easy on and off the rifle, timing it is a no brained. The reduction in recoil is excellent not to mention the straight back movement really helps keep you on target to spot impacts…. or misses! First time my 12 yo son shot the rifle He was was amazed that even he could watch his own hits. Keep up the great products fellas!
Nicholas Harper –
Best brake out there in my opinion. I have 5. One one each of my 3 PRS rifles and 2 others on other rifles.
Reduces felt recoil a ton so you can stay on target and watch trace and impacts easily. The self timing system makes removing and reinstalling so easy. I no longer dread that part of removing barrels. It’s the complete package for a muzzle device. Will continue to run them on my guns.
Jason Baars –
The Hellfire is not just a Brake but System. I swap between muzzle brake and suppressors on 7 different rifles. Each time everything is very repeatable and consitant. If i buy a rilfe with threaded barrel it gets a Hellfire
Josh –
The best brake I have ever used! It allows me to spot my own trace and is extremely simple to remove for cleaning and the ability to index the brake without it it tilting while being tightened makes it a breeze to install.

This was my 2nd Hellfire break order. Very satisfied with the first. There was a notable reduction of recoil on the 6.5 PRC. This order was for a 6 ARC that the base adapter would support the Maverick on both the 6.5 PRC and the 6 ARC. The Maverick looks great, just need to wait on my stamp to get to play with it. Unfortunately the 6mm Hellfire that was ordered with the Maverick was lost in shipping. ( Go figure ). No worries, I called Area 419 up and they were going to ship me a replacement out right away. Like I said, GREAT company to do business with.

The Hellfire Muzzle Brake is truly an outstanding product. An amazing design that makes it easy to install and time.
I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a brake that isn’t a hassle to install.

Excellent muzzle brake and easy to change over to my Silencer

The repeatability for the brake to be removed and re-installed was the most important ability for me. I have placed 4 of these on different rifles. Moving my suppressor between rifles is so easy. Then returning the rifles to zero when suppressor is removed has proved flawless. Great product and highly recommend.

It is a little expensive but well worth the money. It is certainly not a good way to make friends on either side of my bench but the reduction in recoil and muzzle jump is worth it. I am using it on a CZ-527 MTR in .223 Remington.

Follow the instructions and it will perform great. Really managed recoil in a shorter length barrel which was what I was hoping for.
Russell (verified owner) –
The muzzle break definitely did it’s job. However, I normally shoot suppressed and was unable to purchase the adapter as it is not currently available. I feel like I have half a puzzle at the moment. In addition, when running my trusted load over the chronograph I was getting different results from what it normally produces. Perhaps more testing is needed but It doesn’t seem as simple as switching from break to suppressor and getting the same result. I’m looking forward to when the adapter for the suppressor comes available and will purchase it. I like the idea of switching back and forth between both options however it may not be feasible for the type of shooting I do.

Jamaal Overton (verified owner) –
I replaced the terrible muzzle brake that came on my POF 308 with one of these puppies, and it made a huge difference. The weapon didn’t jump off target anymore, and the recoil was very manageable. It does send quite the shockwave down the line though. I thought my daughter and brother were kidding about the blast until I was caught in it. It is…. substantial. You probably won’t make new friends at the range, but you will enjoy shooting.

Big difference in recoil flip. Movement rearward now. Blast to the side so anyone directly to the right or left will feel blast. However recoil much more manageable. Using with Savage 110 Ridgewarrior .308. Satisfied with results and obvious improved grouping. Like that extra adapters make it economical to use the brake on other rifles.

300 win mag. I was struggling with accuracy, partly it was the crappy stock which I fixed, but this was supposed to be a MOA rifle out of the box. I realized I had developed a flinch when shooting the 300wm and decided to try the Hellfire break. The break absolutely improved my recoil to the point I no longer have the flinch. With the Hellfire, new stock, bedded action, I am now sub MOA on a 300wm. That’s a note worthy improvement!

Just put one on a .340wby factory Mark V shooting 200 grain bullets at 2900FPS and it is a joy to shoot. My gun went from nearly breaking my collar bone to vey mild. I have a 13LB .308 and I would say the recoil in comparable. At this point I would literally let my 6 year old that weighs 45LB soaking wet shoot this gun. I was pleasantly surprised though I don’t know why everything I’ve gotten from Area 419 has been top notch! Don’t hesitate to put this on any magnum you want to tame just don’t forget the ear plugs cause its LOUD but you don’t get that smack in the face concussion I’ve gotten from other brakes.

If you’re on the fence, this should help. DEFINITELY GO WITH AREA 419. Great Muzzle Break, Great product, Fit and finish are beautiful. Installation was a breeze and it was the first Muzzle Break I ever installed, instructions were perfect. First time at the range worked great.
Hand tightened collar just a little bit after 10 rounds and then again a few rounds later as per instructions, did not come loose after 120 rounds. Still hasn’t come loose. All the good reviews are worthy. I highly recommend Area 419 Hellfire Match Muzzle Break. Mounted on brand new Tikka T3X TAC A1 in 308. Helps gun fire like a dream. Less than a quarter MOA at 200 yards. Helped getting back on target by mitigating recoil. Definitely helped in spotting impacts. Had done a lot of research before deciding on this product, glad I went with the Hellfire Match. Referring it to all my shooting buddies.

The instructions should emphasize more clearly that that muzzle break mount is tightened in FT/ LBS. Not a huge deal, but most adjustments on the gun are in IN/LBS. I missed it in first pass and discovered it when tightening on the muzzle break and found the mount breaking free. A “NOTE” or “WARNING” or something in the instructions would draw attention to this. Great product. It’s now mounted on my Tikka T3x TACT A1

Decided to give this setup a try after wanting to knock the recoil of my 308 down a bit more and I could be happier! The recoil was manageable before but with the hellfire it doesn’t kick any more than my 6.5 grendel. Absolutely love this brake and it’s ease of use with timing and switching to a suppressor! I couldn’t recommend this brake enough to anyone wanting to tame their rifle. Thank you Area 419!
Eddie (verified owner) –
Great brake. Easy to install. Does not come loose like my Little Bastard when just hand tighten. Easy to remove when I need to clean it. Point of impact only changed slightly, less than 1/8 moa. Accuracy seems to improve compared to my old brake, which unexpectedly comes loose if I don’t pay attention,, but will know after a few more trips to the range.
Kurt (verified owner) –
Area 419 have great products! I have purchased several of the Hellfire muzzle brakes for my various rifles. The brakes really do make a big difference! I notice a considerable difference in recoil, when my brake is attached, vs when it’s not not attach to my 300 Winchester magnum.
Phillip Birch (verified owner) –
An EXCELLENT PURCHASE
Anonymous (verified owner) –
This thing is actually pretty amazing. Shot it with and without the brake. There is noticeably less recoil (or felt recoil, however you wanna look at that). Super easy to put it on. Comes in a cool box that shows the care and pride in Area 419’s work. Performance of the brake itself is its doing exactly what the advertise. 100% true on everything in the video and honestly could not be happier with it. Looks pretty cool too, not too small not to big.
The only thing that I could put as a slight negative is that it requires rockset or blue loctite…. However it doesn’t include it, I had some of both so it wasn’t a big deal at all.
That being said, I’ve bought a few higher end muzzle devices for various rifles. For example when you buy a Surefire muzzle device it comes with a very small “vial” (probably the wrong word for that) of rockset. I think for the money being paid for the Area 419 brake it should include that. (Surefire’s are roughly $150, so we are in the same ball park) again I had it, so not the end of the world but it would have been just that little extra step.

Great muzzle brake; does the job (loudly).

This one of the better muzzle breaks

30 cal size fits perfectly on my Tikka t3x roughtech 7mm rem mag. Extremely easy install. Very noticeable recoil reduction – makes the factory pad useable. Seems very well made. Didn’t notice a big difference in noise.

Easy to install! Great reduction in recoil as stated.

Amazing muzzle brake. Expensive but worth it

Along with the brake, which was perfect for my application, I also ordered two picatinny rail adopters for my Bergara HMR PRO and B-14 Trainer so I could use pic-rail Atlas bipods. Excellent products and excellent service!

Have numerous Area 419 brakes in different calibers and have used both Hellfire and Sidewinder muzzle brakes for years. Dissatisfaction is based on limited thread pitch options with the initial purchase of brake. The pitch thread options available with brake purchase are either 5/8 – 24 or 3/4 – 24. Need to spend an additional $45 to get M18 x 1.5 thread pitch.

Hey Mike, if you check out the first two lines of the product description you’ll see links to order the bodies and adapters separately, giving you all the combination ability, and it’s an extra $5. We set up the SKUs/Combinations the way we did to reduce complexity and ultimately errors in shipping, allowing us to keep pricing as stable as possible as raw material costs have exploded.

I have used this device and have been very satisfied with its performance. I ordered three of these devices and paid the higher amount. I wish I was made aware that this discount was coming so that I could have taken advantage of them and not paid the full amount.

perfectly made, have it installed on Bergara 300 win mag, have not shot it yet. I have another on my Tikka 6.5, and it works great, I expect the same from this one.

Easy install. This brake came very highly recommended by other shooters with the same/similar set up as mine.

I’ve used muzzle brakes from several other manufacturers. None have worked as well as the Hellfire self timing brake. Fit, finish and performance are top notch. Perfect addition to my rifle build
Bruno M. (verified owner) –
Have this on my tikka. Super easy install and timing which was the main reason I purchased it in the first place
Greg C. (verified owner) –
Stunningly easy install. No shims or washer needed to time. It’s an easy, five minute install. The device reduces felt recoil over 50%. A wonderful device
Jamie R. (verified owner) –
Solid product! Will be putting one on another rifle soon.
Steve M. (verified owner) –
Fast shipping and the Hellfire brake/thread adapter is well finished and fit perfectly. I haven’t had a chance to shoot through it much yet but it does tame the muzzle rise noticeably. I will definitely look to Area419 first for any future accessories.

A little pricey, but worth the money for the quality you are are getting! So easy to use that even a cave man could do it!

Really cuts down the recoil on my 7saum
Sebastian C. (verified owner) –
Didn’t install it still, but it looks amazing, high quality
Steve Gross (verified owner) –
Great product. Top marks.
Nick L. (verified owner) –
Installation and fit was quick and unique. It’s loud don’t get me wrong, but greatly reduced recoil. Glad to see a local company put out such a great product.
Darold Martin (verified owner) –
Great product and looks amazing!

Cannot give this product enough stars. Honestly makes .300 RUM feel like a .270. I’ll be buying more for other projects.
Thomas (verified owner) –
Couldn’t be happier with the brake. I have two Hellfires now, one on my RPR in 338 LM and the other on my custom 6.5 CM.
The self timing is an amazing feature so you don’t have to fuss with shims.
