Area 419 Sidewinder Magnum Self Timing Muzzle Brake 5/8-24, Black

Area 419 Sidewinder Magnum Self Timing Muzzle Brake 375 cal Black Nitride. It was engineered from the ground up to be extremely effective easier to install and much more versatile. The SIDEWINDER uses the same patent pending self timing technology as the HELLFIRE only larger. Each brake includes one universal adapter. Read more on all of its advantages below:Caliber SelectionIn order to simplify the choices we have four caliber selections available for the SIDEWINDER brake. The difference in efficiency between using a caliber specific brake bore and the next size up is very minimal so 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.6.5mm Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.26430 Cal Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.308338 Cal Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.338375 Cal Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.375Notable 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 mounts like those available for the HELLFIRE will be available soon. Simply torque the included universal adapter onto your barrel with a 13/16'' 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 doneSIDEWINDER Muzzle Brake Rearward facing ports for the ultimate in recoil reduction. The SIDEWINDER is modeled after our extremely popular HELLFIRE brake which was independently tested side by side with the best brakes on the market. The HELLFIRE showed 52percent recoil reduction on a 6.5 Creedmoor test rifle. This is 4percent more than the one of the most popular brakes on the market. The SIDEWINDER has one more port and is larger in diameter so you can expect a notable increase in recoil abatement. Proprietary port design controls muzzle rise without the use of top porting. Proprietary progressive port design. The amount of work done by a muzzle brake as you move away from the muzzle decreases with distance. Knowing this we decided to increase the size of the first port and decrease slightly with every port further out. This keeps the overall length down without sacrificing efficiency. Face of brake is engraved with caliber to indicate the top for correct orientation and a horizontal line to aid in leveling.

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. Dont do this. Seriously. Itll turn
