Area 419 Hellfire Self-Timing Muzzle Brake .338 Black Nitride 5/8-24

The Area 419 Hellfire Self-Timing Muzzle Brake is a .338-caliber muzzle brake finished in Black Nitride with a 5/8-24 thread pitch. It is manufactured from heat-treated 17-4PH stainless steel and made in the USA on CNC machines in NW Ohio.

The Hellfire uses a self-timing system that eliminates the need to guess port alignment during installation. A universal adapter torques onto the barrel using a 5/8-inch wrench and does not need to be removed after initial installation. The brake and collar assembly threads onto the adapter using left-hand threads. Once the brake is rotated to the desired orientation, it locks onto a taper when pressed into the adapter, and the collar is then tightened by hand using the knurled nut—no additional tools required.

The brake features rearward-facing ports and a proprietary port design intended to control muzzle rise without top porting. Area 419 reports that independent testing showed 52% recoil reduction on a 6.5 Creedmoor test rifle. The face of the brake is engraved with the caliber designation to indicate correct orientation and includes a horizontal line to assist with leveling.

This .338 configuration is compatible with bullet calibers up to and including .338, such as .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Norma Magnum, and .338 Edge. The brake has a 1-inch OD and the collar has a 1.1-inch OD. The brake assembly adds approximately 2.6 inches from the thread shoulder, or roughly 2 inches to the overall length of the barrel. Return to zero is maintained upon removal and reinstallation of the brake.
