The TacFire Tanker Muzzle Brake (brand part number MZ1009N) is an all-steel muzzle brake built for 5.56x45mm NATO rifles threaded 1/2 inch by 28 tpi. Its short, tanker-style profile is heat-treated and finished in erosion-resistant black oxide for long-term durability under repeated firing. By redirecting propellant gas to the sides, the brake cuts felt recoil and barrel whip, helping keep the sights on target for faster follow-up shots. At just 2.76 inches overall length and 1.37 inches in diameter, it adds minimal length to a barrel while still doing real recoil-reduction work.
