The YHM Mini Phantom QD Muzzle Brake in 1/2×28 is a compact quick-detach brake from Yankee Hill Machine, designed for the competitive shooter (YHM part no. YHM-3102-1MB-28A). At only 1.6 inches long it adds little to a rifle, and the maker built it to shoot comfortably both unsuppressed and suppressed. It uses the same fast-attach mount as the rest of the Phantom line, so a compatible YHM suppressor can go on without tools. A shim kit comes with it, so you can time the brake to your barrel during installation.

Key Specifications

• The thread for this SKU is 1/2×28, the common AR-15 muzzle pitch, so it fits most 5.56mm barrels without an adapter.
• Rated calibers are 5.56mm and .30, the two rifle calibers the maker lists for this brake.
• The through-bore is .350 inch, sized to clear the bullet in those calibers.
• Overall length is 1.6 inches, short enough to keep a carbine handy.
• Diameter is 1.245 inches, sized to the Phantom QD mounting interface.
• Weight is 3.2 ounces, which keeps front-end weight modest.
• Material is 4140 steel, a tough alloy chosen for repeated mounting and live fire.
• The finish is black oxide, a dark surface that resists glare and wear.
• A shim kit is included, so you can time the brake to the barrel during installation.
• The maker calls for installation torque of 20 to 30 foot-pounds, which keeps the brake from backing off.
