The Brownells Short Muzzle Brake in 22 caliber with 1/2-28 threads is a no-fuss recoil solution for precision rimfire builds and AR platform rifles. If you're running a .22 LR upper or a precision rifle chambered in .22 and you want to tame felt recoil without adding bulk to your barrel, this compact steel brake delivers real braking force in a minimal footprint. At just one inch overall length, it won't throw off your sight picture or your rifle's balance the way longer brakes do.
The design is straightforward: two rows of 0.125-inch ports ported along the sides to direct powder gases upward and sideways, managing recoil impulse without the blast signature of larger muzzle devices. The black oxide steel finish resists corrosion during field use, and wrench flats on opposite sides make installation and removal dead simple—no proprietary tools or gunsmith visits needed. The 0.75-inch outside diameter is purpose-built for AR-15 barrels and modern precision rifle platforms, so fitment is tight and professional looking.
Whether you're setting up a dedicated .22 training rifle, a precision rimfire competition gun, or just want to dial down recoil on a light, handy platform, this brake gives you real function without unnecessary size or complexity.
| Caliber | .22 caliber |
| Thread Pattern | 1/2-28 |
| Outside Diameter | 0.75 inches |
| Overall Length | 1 inch |

Yes. The 0.75-inch OD and 1/2-28 thread pattern are designed to match standard AR-15 .22 caliber barrels. Confirm your barrel's thread pitch and diameter before purchase.
The two-port design delivers measurable recoil mitigation on rimfire platforms. Performance varies with load and barrel length, but the dual-row port arrangement is engineered to manage powder gases effectively in its compact footprint.
No. The wrench flats allow you to install and remove the brake yourself using a properly sized wrench. Ensure your barrel is at the correct thread pitch (1/2-28) before installation.
The brake comes with a black oxide steel finish, which provides corrosion resistance for outdoor and range use.
