The SilencerCo Compact Radial Brake (brand part number AC5231) is a 5.56mm thread-over muzzle brake threaded 1/2×28, built to slide over and secure onto an existing muzzle device rather than replace it outright. SilencerCo designed the Compact Radial Brake to add extra recoil and muzzle-climb control to a rifle that already has a factory or aftermarket device in place, without requiring a full muzzle device swap. It gives 5.56 shooters a compact way to dial in additional felt-recoil reduction on a 1/2×28-threaded barrel.
