HELLFIRE MUZZLE BRAKE Reviews & Ratings

The HELLFIRE Self Timing Brake system is not just another knockoff copy of existing self timing brakes. It was engineered from the ground up to be extremely effective, easier to install, and much more versatile.

Caliber Selection: In order to simplify the choices, Area 419 have four caliber selections available for the HELLFIRE brake. The difference in efficiency between using a caliber specific brake bore, and the next size up is so minimal if not non existent that Area 419 decided to simplify things in order to lower overall costs to you the consumer. As you can imagine, trying to stock the exact quantities required of six or so different calibers would be impossible.

6mm Caliber: Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.243 (6mm), ie 223, 5.56 NATO, 204, 17 cal, etc.
6.5mm Caliber: Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.264 (6.5mm), ie 257, (Magnums OK)
30 Caliber: Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.308, ie 7mm, 284, 270, (Magnums OK)

See Area 419’s Sidewinder brake for ultimate reduction on these calibers.

419 for the win

Would have preferred the 2 Port but it was out of stock. The extra 1/2” is no big deal and everything Area 419 makes is high quality.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Great Product, Terrible Experience

The product itself works amazingly well. Ive used Area419 products for a long time and generally order directly from them. When I ordered this brake, Brownells was the only company to have it in stock. Ive yet to receive my brake (lost in shipping), a replacement item, or a refund. Ive actually since ordered a new one from Area419, received and fitted it, and have used it a good bit. Brownells is downright pitiful in the way they are, or arent, handling my issue. I will never shop with Brownells again.

6.5 Hellfire break

Love the easy installation of the self timing muzzle break and independent collar. The machining is absolutely excellent and didnt throw the zero off of my Tikka t3x. Was able to stretch it out to 800 yards on steel dead center today and I also was able verify impact because of the manageable recoil and muzzle rise. Area 419 knocked it out the park with this one.

Easy install and works well

I currently have 3 of these. I am pleased with the performance and ease of install. Recoil reduction is significant. All the ones I have, are installed on bolt guns.

Area 419 Brake(6.5 Creedmoor)

I installed this brake on my DD Delta 5. I went with this particular brake seeing how Daniel Defense installed it on their accuracy package & their new Delta 5 Pro rifles. That says a lot about the quality of the product. It not only reduces the recoil, it looks aesthetically pleasing. I have tried many other brakes & this one by far is the best one to date. I will be purchasing another one for my Howa 1500 6.5 very soon.

Best Muzzle Break

Self timing with precision marks on tip to ensure accurate timing during installation are awesome. Quality is amazing and glad I spent the extra money for this one. Like others mentioned, almost no recoil with this and able to keep tight groups as result.

6.5 Creedmoor use

I put this into a 6.5 Creedmoor build I was doing. It improved staying on target greatly with very little to no dust or dirt kick up. I will say that it did make the gun louder but what muzzle break doesnt. The decidable level is still very manageable and worth the fact of being able to stay on target. this is self timing so installation was super easy. This is being used on my hunting riffle build and I can say I believe it help make this gun that much more accurate with follow up shots when sighting in. I would highly suggest if your thinking about buying a muzzle break to go with this one. I would buy again.

Fantastic brake

One of the best if not the best muzzle brake out there. Its precision machining and finish are top of the line. The design is genius, allowing easy installation and removal. The performance is fantastic as well. It really does a great job of mitigating recoil and preventing muzzle rise.

6.5 HellFire Muzzle Break by AREA 419

This Muzzle Break is somewhat expensive ,..but you get what you pay for and more. The recoil on my 6.5 was practically non-existent. Easy to install, looks great. I highly recommend this product. It won't disappoint.
