Overview

This is the .30-caliber-bore Gen 4 Little Bastard for a .308 or 7.62 Ruger Precision Rifle. It keeps the same self-timing jam-nut and tunable gas-screw system as the 6.5mm version, but the wider bore clears .30-caliber bullets, so it is the correct pick for a .308 RPR rather than the 6.5mm brake. The brake threads onto the 5/8x24 muzzle and locks level against a jam-nut, so a shooter can index the ports perfectly flat without a gunsmith, then bias the gas ports to counter muzzle rise for a specific load. The nitrided finish resists the carbon and heat that a heavy PRS round count throws at the muzzle.

Key Features

  • Self-timing jam-nut indexes the brake level without shims or crush washers
  • Tunable gas-screw system to bias recoil and muzzle rise per rifle
  • 5/8x24 thread fits the .308 Ruger Precision Rifle and other precision hosts
  • .30-caliber bore clears .308 and 7.62 projectiles
  • Nitrided finish for carbon and heat resistance

Pros

  • +Correct .30-caliber bore for a .308 or 7.62 RPR, unlike the 6.5mm Little Bastard
  • +Self-timing design mounts perfectly level with no gunsmithing
  • +Tunable gas screws let you dial out muzzle rise for your load

Cons

  • Loud and concussive at the shooter's ears versus a suppressor
  • Bore and thread SKU must match the barrel and cartridge
  • Priced above the Area 419 Hellfire Match and basic radial brakes
