The Maxim Defense QD HateBrake System in 5/8×24 stainless (brand part no. MXM48286) combines the QD Flash Hider with the Hate Shroud, which threads onto the flash hider to turn it into a muzzle brake. Maxim Defense designed it for fast transitions between suppressed and unsuppressed setups. Both parts are 17-4 H900 stainless steel with a high-temperature, low-friction Richter C3B coating, so carbon brushes off easily. The cone-shaped shroud fits under MDX and SDX cone-shaped handguards. For a rifle with 5/8×24 threads, it is a modular muzzle device that works with a suppressor when you need it.
