Muzzle brakes: are exceptionally effective at reducing recoil, making them a favoured option among shooters who seek to lessen the recoil of their firearms. This is particularly advantageous for high-recoil weapons such as magnum rifles. Additionally, precision rifle shooters prefer muzzle brakes for superior recoil mitigation, enhancing the overall shooting experience.
Silencer (Suppressor): Suppressors greatly diminish the sound produced during a firearm discharge, making them a superb option for individuals seeking a quieter shooting experience and a reduction in noise pollution. They are particularly well-suited for recreational shooting and hunting activities.

When selecting a thread for your muzzle device, it is essential to confirm its compatibility with both your firearm’s barrel and the specific device you plan to install. If you are unsure about the thread size, it is advisable to consult your firearm’s manufacturer or a qualified gunsmith.
Although there is no definitive answer, we have made every effort to provide guidance on the product page. From the examples provided, please select a cartridge that closely resembles the one you are considering. Remember, bigger isn’t always better.
The recoil reduction offered by the Raptor Muzzle Brake, or any muzzle brake for that matter, is influenced by several factors, including the firearm’s calibre and the specifics of the ammunition used. Muzzle brakes function by redirecting and venting a portion of the high-pressure gases produced when a bullet is fired. This gas redirection generates a counterforce that effectively mitigates the recoil force of the firearm. The Raptor Muzzle Brake can achieve over a 44% reduction in recoil, as demonstrated in the example below.
The Warbird Silencer offers a significant noise reduction, but it’s essential to understand that the term “hearing safe” can have different interpretations. While specific decibel reduction measurements have been taken in the past, consumer-level technology may not provide the precision required for an accurate figure. However, it’s reported that the Warbird Silencer provides more than a 50% reduction in noise, which is substantial and significantly reduces the risk of hearing damage.
It is important to understand that even when using a suppressor or silencer, supersonic bullets can still produce a sonic boom as they exit the muzzle. This noise can be intense enough to cause hearing damage if fired without appropriate hearing protection. Therefore, it is highly recommended to wear suitable hearing protection when using firearms with supersonic ammunition, even when equipped with a suppressor.
A barrel tuner, often referred to simply as a tuner or harmonic tuner, is a device designed to fine-tune the vibrations of a rifle’s barrel. The primary goal of a barrel tuner is to optimize the barrel’s harmonics, which can significantly impact accuracy by altering how the barrel vibrates when a shot is fired. It’s essential to understand that the effectiveness of a barrel tuner varies between rifles, influenced by factors such as barrel contour, ammunition type, and specific shooting conditions. Not all rifles experience the same benefits from tuners, and determining the ideal tuner position can be a time-consuming process.
A rimfire suppressor equipped with a built-in tuner, like the Littlebird, provides a distinct advantage for rimfire firearms, particularly in optimizing accuracy with factory ammunition. Unlike centerfire ammunition, rimfire cartridges cannot be easily reloaded by hand, limiting the ability to customize ammo to match a specific rifle’s characteristics, as is commonly done with hand-loaded centerfire cartridges.
This is where the value of a rimfire suppressor with a built-in tuner becomes evident. The tuner enables shooters to fine-tune the barrel’s harmonics to align with their factory ammunition. By adjusting the tuner, shooters can discover the optimal position to enhance both accuracy and precision.
Each time you reload, the mandrel should be the final step in processing your brass before seating a bullet. To enhance precision, consider seating bullets within a few hours of running the mandrel through your brass. This helps prevent spring-back from altering the neck dimensions.
When using mandrels, we recommend applying Imperial sizing lube sparingly, as even a small amount can be very effective.
The Tin coating provides a significantly harder surface, resulting in an exceptionally smooth glide when using the mandrel sets. Users have also noted that lubrication is unnecessary with the Tin-coated sets. This benefit is particularly advantageous as it eliminates the need to remove any lubricant before adding powder.
