The Yankee Hill QD Muzzle Brake for 5.56x45mm NATO (brand part no. YHM-5M2-QD) gives AR-platform shooters a compact, 2.50-inch muzzle brake that also serves as the quick-detach mount for YHM’s Turbo and Turbo K sound suppressors. Cut from black steel with 1/2×28 threads, it works as a standalone brake to cut recoil and muzzle rise on its own, and since a suppressor naturally functions as a brake too, adding a compatible YHM can on top reduces felt recoil even further. Yankee Hill built this specific brake to mate directly with its Turbo and Turbo K suppressor line for shooters who want that option down the road.
