Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx
- Thread starter Huskydriver
- Start date
I’ve got a new brake for the PRS/NRL folks. I’m patent pending and done with prototyping, and on to production. I don’t have any dates for completion yet, but soon. Will only be available for the Bravo style threads. More styles will come, but only after testing/tweaking is done.(no timeline)
Testing has been done on several different cartridges, and only on the SiCo Scythe Ti or STM. 6 BR, 6 Dasher, 25 Creed, 25X47(most testing done), and 6.5 creed. I’ve been working directly with Patty Youngs on the MDT team amongst a few other team or supported MDT team members. This brake is a result of countless hours and rounds down range.
I can confidently say, with the backing of the guys that have helped design or given their input, that it’s as good or better than a traditional muzzle brake for muzzle rise.
I have folks making YouTube videos so you can get the info for yourself. But what these top 20 PRS guys are saying, is it is as flat or flatter than their brake. (You fill in the blanks for company’s) Were seeing that positional shooting is getting .5 mil, sometimes less for rise.
Sneak peak at a prototype. (Does not reflect end product, although will be very similar.)

I’ll take a bravo one but please please consider making Dead Air/Diligent Defense as well!
Sounds great. Looks like it might be a little hard on suppressor covers but I'll take that.
Kind of regretting getting another of the original design now for my scythe.

Very excited for this one. I’ve taken everything I know about muzzle brakes, and some of the challenges unique to suppressors to help recoilx make something truly remarkable, and I hope you all enjoy it.
Side note, if you don’t have a scythe, you’ll want one, my preference has been the STM version but I know other guys that like the Ti just fine if that’s what you’ve got.

I'm a bit scared to use my scythe ti with PRS style match shooting volume with all of the failures that have been reported.. Maybe the STM are more durable?
I’ve used both my Ti and STM for PRS, I’ve heard about the issues but haven’t had a problem myself.
Performance is very similar between the short config STM and the Ti. We haven’t done a ton of testing on the long STM for obvious reasons, a longer suppressor means a longer recoil impulse and less gas to work the brake.
I had a new build out last week. Barrel is a SR25 Cartel 6.5 CM, Rock Creek, cut rifle, dimpled, 16 inch with rifle length gas and a RifleSpeed gas block. Can is an Omega 300 and the weight is 12lb,5oz as shown. After zeroing the March I swapped out for a Trijicon ReapIr thermal. The brake was outstanding and the recoil was less than the 12.5 Grendel I was also setting up. No issue with having my eye pressed against the thermal. I shot it off a bipod at a the bench and then sitting off a tripod. My brother shot next to me and said there was a big "whoosh" of air an each shot but that it was not concussive or unpleasant. The only issue I ran into was the locking collar loosened up a few times. I'll try to torque it down a bit harder next time. Accuracy was excellent.
I don’t have a weight on the full production “comp” brake yet. It’s going to be made of similar materials as to what I currently offer. (Jam nut will be SS) Lots more info will be coming out soon.
THIS! I have been impressed with the current offereing and am going to need this for my Nomad.
Took the RecoilX on my SiCo 36m in 5” config out yesterday. Shot on a 20” 260rem. I didn’t take it on and off for a true comparison but I feel like it made a pretty big difference. At 20x zoom I was able to watch impacts at 200 yards on steal. It kept the rifle that still. Overall I’m pretty happy with it.
Need to shoot some groups to see if the weight change affected the accuracy and needs tuned. I’m in the middle of new load development with new brass anyway.

@RecoilXBrakes just happened upon the La Perla challenge episode with the new brake. Are we weeks or months away? Setting up rifles for fall competitions and just curious.
I’m already rolling on production, so it’s going to be weeks. I don’t have a set timeline yet. When it gets closer I’ll let y’all know.
Here’s a link for some more info on the new comp brake Patty and I designed. Should be available by the end of August.
Likely going into production for DA/DDC after the run for Bravo. Need to test and maybe “tune” for performance.
Bummer to hear about the higher price for the new model but I might grab one still even though I’ve already got a couple gen 1s.

I know, I just like to tinker
I will be testing my gen 1 Recoil X on my Nomad TiXC against the new RXD as soon as I can.

Once you have one of these with a 338 bore for dead air threading, I know what's going on my DT SRS and staying there.
Extra bonus if you offer it in ODG or FDE matte cerakote
I saw the short video clips of the new comp brake that was posted on instagram two days ago and watched the video linked a few replies up . It pushed me to buy a Scythe just for that. I used the O.G. 3 port brake with my 7 SAW and it did well for being on a lightweight rifle. I have high hopes for the new brake.
I’d do something more like Simple Green and scrub it a little if you needed to.
New gen brakes are listed as coming soon on their website. They look great! Excited to get one and compare it to the gen 1. Running an omega 300 now but think it’s close to time to get a scythe stm.

Being aluminum, is it a bad idea to use an ultrasonic cleaner on these brakes with simple green? Or should I just soak and scrub?

I have a brand new Scythe STM that needs one of the new ones. My other 3 are amazing.
Ouch $275? Gonna pass on this one. But I'll keep my current G1. Hoping the locking collar is better on this next one. Because my current loosens all the time.

not entirely surprising given the size, extra machining complexity vs the gen 1, concentricity requirements, and how much of a pain in the ass it is to find a decent coatings vendor for small batch jobs.
also the patent process isn't cheap
@RecoilXBrakes Guessing based on the pricing that these are also DFARS compliant so that they meet requirements if certain US entities express interest?

New jam nuts are being made right now. They’re made from heat treated 17-4 SS(same as the comp model) they’ll have 3 spanner flats to get it nice and tight.
These new brakes are full 5th axis and multiple op machining. Much more expensive to make, and yes, patents are not cheap. But all worth it.
I’m looking into DFARS for that very reason.
We’re in production with the 3 port now. As soon as that’s done, will be prototyping and testing for Enticer and Nomad suppressors. Hopefully very soon. Other DA suppressors should work, but the diameter of brake will fit the larger diameter cans much more appropriately.
