Yes. Drop is Aug 5 at 5pm MST per their IG post. You’re welcome if you didn’t know.
Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

My 3 port won’t be discontinued. The comp brake is a whole separate product.
The comp brake is for those chasing the bleeding edge of performance in PRS or NRL. My 3 port is still a great option, at lower price point.

It’s made of aluminum by design. SS is too heavy and retains heat. Can’t wrap the brake. Ti is lighter than SS. It’s also 30%-40% heavier than aluminum. The added strength of Ti isn’t necessary. This isn’t structural and the can takes the beating. The Scythe end cap is made out of anodized AL, words from SiCo, and doesn’t have issues with erosion.
you could always just make a version with a thin steel liner inserted into the bore area and mechanically captured at the ends to handle the dissimilar expansion properties. while I dont expect it'll matter for PRS guns, it might have value for using the recoilX on SBRs and other hard use firearms. I can attest first hand that even the gen1 on a sandman does a bunch to control high-cyclic SBRs
Don’t be inserting facts into a good SnipersHide product gripe.
@RecoilXBrakes - When will these Gen2's be available for Diligent/Dead air??
Just paid the stamp on a Enticer S ti & I think this would be pretty effective on the S can.
Thanks

DA/DDC support is coming ASAP. Heard folks loud and clear on here and Instagram, and I am super grateful for your interest. Working on prototypes now and shortly heading to testing.
Sweet. Also my Gen 2 is on the way, how does it time? Also any update on new lock nuts for the Gen 1’s?
They have a SS jam nut that uses the spanner that SiCo ships with. Times the same way as the 3 port.
Updated SS jam nuts for DA/DDC and Bravo have been made. Uses the same spanner wrench.
Just need to process and quality check and make available on website.
Not sure about that. For now, the 3 port will have the majority of support.
Will the Gen2 work on a Rugged 360?
That can is already load as shit so it'd be nice to get some recoil reduction out of it
I’m curious to see how you like the Clovis compared to the scythe with the recoil x.
Ahhh, was looking on my phone. Would like your thoughts on that one too! The Theorum-s and the Clovis are on my list. I just received the gen 2 brake today, my scythe will be here tomorrow. Didn't like the Magnus-k so I sold it.
Hopefully I get to shoot the Comp brake this weekend. I’ll shoot it back to back with the Theorem which has a sharper jab to the shoulder. It’s stays pretty flat.
Would you say the omega300 with the gen 1 recoil x have a longer softer recoil impulse than the theorum?
Will most likely offer the 3 port brake for it in the future.
Yeah the Omega and 3 port is much softer. I had another shooter shoot both back to back and he also agreed.
I need to kinda back up on this. The 5” Clovis with muzzle brake weighs roughly the same as the SilencerCo Scythe STM in short configuration with Recoil X comp brake. And the weight is definitely not in the comp brake.
What I’m waiting for someone to do. I’ve always wanted a Maverick but if the comp brake and Scythe are very similar I’ll be ok without getting one.
That is what I am chasing. I had a TBAC Magnus k-rr and wasn't happy with its muzzle control performance so I sold it. lol
Finally got a chance to hit the range to test out the new Comp brake with the Scythe Ti and compare it to the Theorem-S with the brake.
The host for the Scythe weighs 11 lbs 4.96 oz and the host for the Theorem weighs 11 lbs 5.66 oz. Both weights are including the can with a 26” Proof barrel and without a bipod attached. Both were using the same ammo. 6.5CM with 147gr cruising at 2620 fps avg +/- 10.
I shot both rifles back to back a few times alternating between them. Recoil impulse on both cans were fast. Same as before, the recoil on the Theorem-S felt a little stiffer but the rifle also felt flatter. The Scythe + Comp brake was a little softer on the shoulder but didn’t feel as “flat” as compared to the Theorem. But yes, the Comp brake does a really awesome job. I don’t have a Scope cam to use but it looked like the Theorem brake had more of a downward push compared to the RX Comp. Both cans kept the target within the reticle and recovery was fast. Can’t go wrong with either setup.
Remember folks, this was my non scientific testing shooting off a barricade and bag. The rifles were relatively light. To me sub 12 lbs is light. I mean I could have used a 25 lb Dasher as a host but why? I want to see how the brakes work on NRL Hunter builds.
The post I made in March (#185) is holding strong. Here’s another brake I can across today through the socials.. 2025-26 is going to be all about the brakes on cans. This will be another comparison to make if/when it releases to the RX Comp.
Based on the wrench notches it looks like it might be made by SilencerCo. No info was given on the brake. The brake looks to be no frills other than the top two ports.
Pretty sure it's a SiCo brake.
Nothing too fancy about it, but I may pick one up for the wife's Omega when it gets released.
Since they're both 1-3/8×24 HUB threads, any chance you'd flip-flop the brakes to see if it's the can or the brake thats making the difference in the recoil impulse?
From Abel's Website https://abelcousa.com/product/theorem-s/
Lastly, the Theorem-S utilizes the standard 1-3/8×24 threaded hub, so you can continue to use the adapters you love, and the Theorem-S is furnished with an interchangeable front end cap/exit cap which offers the end user great adaptability and versatility.
I guess couldn't find the same wording for the Scythe. Thanks for helping out my confusion.
Bravo threads are the same as HUB which is also 1-3/8x24 and 1.375x24. SilencerCo created that size and has become an industry standard for the back end of the suppressors. That’s if the manufacturer wants to utilize it.
yeah that applies to mounts only, not the endcap threads.
endcap threads becoming equally standardized would be pretty damn fantastic, but right now there is a huge range of different competing types.
my personal favorite among all the different types is the Dead Air R-series having seen/used a few different ones, mostly because the bevel to bevel meeting at the top allows for designs to mate and center properly even if you have a little tolerance mismatch.
Were you in Laramie yesterday? Lol
It was fantastic on the S. I won’t be shooting anything else/I have no reason to use a muzzle brake. With foamies I don’t notice it being louder and the recoil felt quicker and more repeatable.
no i in Texas chugging water bottles and saying "that was the last stage i bomb today"

Yup the brake is from SiCo. Video of it is on their IG account and available on their website. I just ordered one with the $200 store credit they gave out with can purchases until the end of the month. The brake was free.

I shot my gen1 recoil x on a silencerco omega 300 next to my gen2 recoilx on my sythe stm short, and i found the recoil impulse shorter/sharper on the gen2/sythe, the can is also more poppy than the omega. I’ll have to shoot it more but i feel the omega/gen1 was a more pleasant experience.
I think they’ll adapt. They’re smart guys who build world class stuff. It took them awhile to roll out the HUB, too.
I agree. Of my three braked suppressors, the Omega with the 3 port brake feels the softest. Once the new SiCo brake comes in, I’m going to move the RX Comp brake to the Omega and will compare that to the Scythe with their new Bravo Directional brake.
With many of these having ports through the top and with the release of gas being slowed by the can, is anyone seeing gasses in the scope such that it impairs spotting shots?
