Overview

American Precision Arms built its reputation on the Little Bastard, and the Gen 4 keeps the self-timing jam-nut that made the line a PRS staple. Instead of a crush washer or shim stack, 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. The tunable gas-screw system lets you bias the gas ports to counter muzzle rise or lateral drift for your specific rifle and load. On a 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger Precision Rifle, that translates to a flat recoil impulse that keeps the reticle on target through the shot so you can spot your own impacts. 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 Ruger Precision Rifle and other precision hosts
  • 6.5mm bore covers 6mm Creedmoor and 6.5 Creedmoor
  • Nitrided finish for carbon and heat resistance

Pros

  • +Self-timing design mounts perfectly level with no gunsmithing
  • +Tunable gas screws let you dial out muzzle rise for your load
  • +Proven PRS-grade recoil control that keeps you on target through the shot

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
