The YHM Phantom QD Muzzle Brake in 1/2×28 is a quick-detach brake from Yankee Hill Machine that lessens the recoil of the host firearm whenever the suppressor is not in use (YHM part no. YHM-4302-MB-28A). It is compatible with the YHM Phantom Q.D. Adapter, which installs on any 1-3/8×24 HUB-capable suppressor, including the Fat Cat, Turbo T3, Turbo K-RB, Resonator R2, Resonator K, R9 and R45. The brake is machined from 4140 steel in a black oxide finish, and a shim kit is included. This 1/2×28 version is the one for barrels with that thread.
