Once your barrel is ready, put on your safety glasses and install it on your vice. For a typical 5.56mm barrel and ½ x 28” thread pitch, you will need an OD of at least 0.5″. Measure the outside diameter (OD) of your barrel at the muzzle end. For example, if your barrel still has an A2 front sight gas block installed, remove it from the barrel. Strip your barrel entirely before starting. Step-By-Step Cutting and Threading Process Turning your own barrel from a blank is a more advanced process requiring the skills and equipment of a competent gunsmith. This process assumes you have an existing, ready-made barrel, and all you need to do is thread the muzzle. You can either purchase all of these tools individually or find some of them bundled in barrel threading kits. A ½ x 28” right-hand thread die cutter, a ½ x 28” jam nut, and a die starter of the right caliber (use a.An annular cutter pilot and drill adapter.An annular cutter of the right size (for a 5.56mm/.223 barrel, you will need a ⅞” model).Required equipmentĭIY threading your AR-15 barrel requires the following tools: However, if you possess the right tools, it is possible to thread your own AR-15 barrels. Typically, AR-15 barrel threading is a service offered by competent gunsmiths, typically costing between $50 and $100, depending on your location. Suppressors for reducing sound and recoil.Muzzle brakes and compensators for recoil mitigation.Commercial flash hiders with better designs and higher effectiveness than the mil-spec models.If you have one (or multiples) of these barrels, don’t throw them out! You may be able to thread them and restore them to full functionality.ĪR-15 barrel threading can also accept more than just the mil-spec flash hider you can install many other types of muzzle devices, including but not limited to: But it is still possible to find many post-ban rifles and parts on the used market. Since the AWB’s expiration in 2004, new unthreaded AR-15 barrels have become less common. Many of these post-ban rifles featured unthreaded bull barrels with target crowns, similar to those seen on target rifles. In response, the industry started producing post-ban AR-15s, compliant with AWB regulations. Among the banned features were flash hiders and threaded barrels capable of accepting them. Finished with Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD).During the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994-2004, the law defined firearms possessing certain features as “ assault weapons,” prohibiting them from sale, manufacture, or transfer. High quality American steel that is machined, heat treated, and coated in America by Americans. No expense is spared in the manufacturing of this brake. *We recommend using a shim kit for timing although good results have been observed with crush washers and jam nuts.* *Included with each muzzle brake: Installation and tuning instructions, gas port plugs and partial aperture plugs, thread locker, and hex wrench for the plugs.* This provides a combination to give every shooter and gun the best recoil solution. Ports can be open, partially closed with aperture plugs, or completely plugged. Each brake has five high pressure ports at 45 degree intervals along with three low pressure ports for fine tuning. There are many variables that affect muzzle climb: shape of the gun stock, barrel length, gas system, recoil springs, ammunition selection, left/right handed, shooter size, shooter stance, ect. Not having to “muscle” your gun back on target is faster, more consistent, and frees up your body and mind to solve other shooting related tasks. The ability to tune out muzzle climb by directing just the right amount of gas in the right direction is a substantial advantage for the shooter. The result is the fastest and flattest shooting experience possible. ![]() The expansion chamber adds dwell time to the gas system for more reliable function, similar to the Russian AK-74 muzzle brake. ![]() The baffle design drastically reduces the rear recoil impulse of the gun while the expansion chamber and high/low pressure ports allow the end user to tune muzzle direction movement. The product of nearly two years of research and development by champion shooters Kyle Litzie and Zack Smith to get the most effective rifle muzzle brake. ![]()
