The Maxim Defense Hate Brake (brand part number MXM47707) is a 5.56x45mm NATO muzzle booster built in black DLC-coated 17-4 stainless steel with 1/2-28 threads, designed to regulate exhaust gases so a low-pressure-cartridge build cycles more reliably. It redirects the sound signature away from the shooter and decreases flash while significantly reducing recoil, all in a compact 2.40-inch overall length and 1.50-inch octagon-shaped body built to work with M-Slot compatible handguards. Maxim’s patent-pending K-Taper locking technology replaces the need for a proprietary tapered barrel shoulder, giving the Hate Brake a secure, repeatable lockup once torqued down.
