Key Features & Specifications
Model: Huxwrx QD .338 Muzzle Brake — 1598
UPC: 706433762743
Caliber Compatibility: .338 family (designed for .338-caliber AR-platform and compatible barrels — verify barrel specs prior to purchase)
Threading: 3/4"-24 tpi (standard for many .338 AR barrels)
Overall Length (OAL): 2.30 inches
Finish / Color: Black (durable protective coating)
Material: High-strength stainless steel (precision-machined)
Attachment: Direct-thread mount (compatible with QD collars/adapters designed for 3/4"-24)
Porting: Multi-port baffle geometry tuned to redirect gas and reduce recoil and muzzle rise
Intended Use: Recoil mitigation, muzzle control, precision shooting, hunting and tactical applications
Performance Benefits
Significant recoil reduction: Carefully engineered baffle angles and port placement redirect gas energy to counter rearward recoil impulses—helping shooters manage heavy .338 recoil more comfortably.
Reduced muzzle rise: Upward and lateral gas redirection stabilizes the muzzle, enabling faster target re-acquisition and improved follow-up shot speed.
Short, compact profile: At 2.30" OAL the brake preserves overall rifle length and handling while delivering high performance—ideal for rifles where length-of-device is a consideration.
Durable construction: Machined from premium stainless steel for longevity and resistance to erosion under high-pressure magnum loads.
Easy compatibility: Standard 3/4"-24 threads allow direct fitment to compatible barrels and straightforward integration with many QD collar systems.
Why Choose the Huxwrx 1598 for .338 Builds?
.338-class cartridges produce substantial energy; a dedicated brake tuned for that pressure and gas signature is critical to control felt recoil and muzzle climb. Huxwrx designed the 1598 to provide the balance of stopping power and shootability: tame recoil enough to reduce shooter fatigue and speed follow-ups, without adding excessive length or weight to your barrel. It’s an excellent match for precision hunters, long-range shooters, and serious big-bore AR builders.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Thread verification: Confirm your barrel’s thread pitch is 3/4"-24 tpi before ordering. Using incorrect thread pitches risks improper fitment or damage.
Torque & timing: Install the brake using a properly sized wrench on flats (or a proper installation tool). Torque to the barrel/muzzle device manufacturer’s specification and time the device if necessary to align ports per your preference. If used with a QD adapter/collar, follow the collar manufacturer’s instructions for torque and lock-up.
Gunsmith recommended: If you’re unsure about threads, shoulder length, or timing, have the device installed by a qualified gunsmith to ensure concentricity, proper timing, and safe operation.
Note: This product description is informational. Do not attempt installation on a loaded firearm. Always verify compatibility with your specific barrel and suppressor/mounting system.
Maintenance & Care
Inspect regularly: After high-round count sessions, check for carbon buildup, thread wear, and erosion in the baffle ports. Replace if any cracking, excessive erosion, or deformation is observed.
Cleaning: Use a bronze brush and solvent to remove carbon and copper fouling from internal bores and ports. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of protective oil to external surfaces to prevent corrosion.
Thread protection: When the device is removed, protect barrel threads with a cap or thread protector to avoid damage and ensure future fitment.
Accessories & Compatibility
QD Collars / Adapters: The 3/4"-24 thread makes this brake compatible with a range of quick-detach collars and suppressor mounting systems designed for that thread pitch—verify collar shoulder length and index geometry to avoid suppressor baffle strike.
Suppressor Use: If you plan to use a suppressor, ensure the suppressor’s mount/collar is designed to work with 3/4"-24 brakes and that overall shoulder/shoulder length provides safe clearance and concentric lockup. Consult both muzzle device and suppressor manufacturers for approved pairings.
Torque Wrench / Timing Tools: Use recommended torque values and timing procedures for optimal alignment and performance.
Safety & Legal Reminder
Muzzle devices, suppressors, and associated mounting components may be regulated in certain jurisdictions. Always verify local, state, and federal laws regarding muzzle devices, suppressor compatibility, and ownership. Use of muzzle brakes and installation should be carried out in accordance with safe firearm handling practices. If you’re unfamiliar with firearm maintenance or installation, seek help from a qualified gunsmith.
