Area 419 Hellfire Review : The lowest recoiling muzzle brake ever

[@MrAntoineglenn]

Great review. The only review that compared the 2 muzzle breaks I’m debating on purchasing

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

Haha I was mad no else compared them for me either. The vg6 is good but the hellfire is just a nice healthy bump. I like how the hellfire is tool-less to remove too. The vg6 is easy but it just adds another level of simplicity. Thanks for the kind words and let me know which one you end up with! -Walsh

[@col.cottonhill6655]

I recently put one of these on my Howa 1500 can't wait to try it out

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

Let me know what you think. I really enjoy the self timing. Just slap it on...there ya go -Walsh

[@Olof67]

Yeah you can see it, I just picked up Mossberg 6.5 creedmoor. I'm just got to decide which break

[@toddb930]

How is the concussion level from the ports?

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

It's a lot there's a gunshot....not too far from there

[@DarkMatter946]

Area 419 says on their sight to torque the adapter to 25 ft/lbs.

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

Concur, same torque specs as any muzzle device.

[@jamesmccaskill7329]

Do a comparison with Apollo Max.

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

ohhh I have one of those too!

[@crazycomments8038]

Does anybody use it for the Bergara B14?

[@Brad901]

Just ordered the performance package for my Bergara B14 HMR 6.5... I'll try & remember to post an update when I have some time with it

[@JC101Zero]

@@Brad901 we'll two years , any input

[@freespiritwalter8844]

do you need a treaded barrel for it?

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

You do. The adapter goes on the threaded portion and the brake itself goes over the adapter

[@tybillow252]

Having a fire with the ol’ lady and the dogs. Can’t watch right this second but I figured I’d throw a comment and like. Will watch soon.

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

Love the support! Enjoy the fire 🔥

[@shawnobery2772]

I'd love to see this brake vs the Insite Arms Heathen!!

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

I'll have to try that one! I've had a few suggestions that we reached out and got to test out. I have an Apollo max 6.5 that seems really good but it's not self timing. Does the heathen self time?

[@shawnobery2772]

@@ThinLineDefenseCo no i dont believe so.

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

@@shawnobery2772 I will say that I love that on the 419. I'll reach out and see if we can try one. Look at the Apollo max too. I've had some crazy good results and I'm a big of a brake snob. -Walsh

[@shawnobery2772]

Ok I will thank you

[@kellyrick8201]

I love my VG6 on my AR-10

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

Yea I'm a big fan of the vg6 too! Area 419 actually put out another muzzle device too that I'd love to see. I'm currently playing with the Apollo max that I definitely love too!

[@jasonw598]

Can anybody give me a comparison of these to the ATI little bastard?

[@AlaskanBallistics]

They make it for a 6.5 With a suppressor mount

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

Oh wow I'll have to check that out! Our tikka is a 6.5...I should have probably put that in there. Now I just need to decide on a silencer... Thanks for watching and commenting! The little things you do mean a ton to us.

[@tv-cx8gv]

Good one cheers!

[@markpetela5286]

Full disclosure

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

It's really good?

[@bobvi5490]

I think he meant to use the expression, “spoiler alert.” In contrast the phrase, “Full disclosure…” should be used to preface an actual disclosure such as when it is required by conflict of interest rules. For instance, “full disclosure, area 419 sent me one to test out for free.”

[@1clnsdime1]

Looks like my Tikka is about to get a Hell fire

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

Lol I'm a new-ish shooter and damn. It's a significant reduction in recoil. If you run a can and can use their adapters it would make like stupid easy. There may be a POI shift though....I just use the muzzle device lol Let me know how you like it! -Walsh

[@1clnsdime1]

@@ThinLineDefenseCo will do I have been looking at several different ones with the 419 included and I haven't seen a bad review yet. The one I currently have, don't keep me on target. I have a Griffin can I wish they made a adapter for that, but it looks like they don't. For long range I prefer just a break anyway.

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

@@1clnsdime1 ohh I was considering the Griffin myself. I hear you on cans though. I don't understand why I need it. It's not like it makes it silent in any way and has a noticeable effect on velocity. You can't go wrong with the 419. It's pretty much the standard already with competition shooters.

[@pixelfire6121]

NERO muzzle break is coming for ya 😉

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

lol that thing is...unique...for sure. I'd love to test it. -Walsh

[@floydpeterson2595]

nothing for 300 win mag

[@bad2debone825]

Have it on my 300 win mag. It's pretty darn amazing. Love that I can use my suppressor with the adapter too.

[@williamcaldwell6811]

With all said and done this is the simplest to install and use…

[@peligro28]

What rifle is Cody shooting in the intro?

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

Ruger 9mm pcc - I can ask Cody for more details

[@gregkeen4907]

Nope! There's definitely much better brakes on the market than these. I would consider these average at best. The best I've found is Precision Armament's M4-72 with a 77% reduction in recoil and their Hypertap at 84% reduction. SJC's Titan brake falls somewhere in between these two at around 80% reduction.

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

That hypertap looks awesome!! Definitely have to try that one day

[@Mr.J345]

I have the m4-72 on my .308 and it works awesome the blast is pretty powerful though

[@Theyoufeelme]

They now have a titan extreme which is great. There are multiple new muzzle brakes that are on top like the Apollo s ultradyne and the nero 556 break. The m472 is obsolete. Hadn't tried the hypertap yet.

[@79brumley]

It doesn't offer anywhere near 77% reduction in recoil! The most I've tested was around 43%. Only thing the precision armaments brakes offer over the hellfire is more muzzle blast and muzzle flash!

[@KevinHuff23]

@@79brumley Nonsense

[@11mchristo]

Good brakes but not the best.

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

well a can is the best lol
