U.S. Arms M-905 Talon

The M-905 Talon is an uncommonly long and weighty muzzle brake offered as an aftermarket accessory and as standard equipment on some of U.S. Arms Co.’s higher-tier AR-15 models, but the device is also supremely effective with up to 94 percent recoil reduction across all chamberings tested, according to the company.

Measuring 4"x1.63"x0.63" and weighing more than some suppressors (9.05 ozs.), the M-905’s eight chambers have internal radiuses designed to initially slow and hold ignition gases for as long as possible before then tapering at the port to accelerate the pressure rearward and upward as it leaves the unit.

Both .223-cal. (threaded 1/2x28 TPI) and .30-cal. (5/8x24 TPI) versions of the brake are available, and a shim kit is included to ensure proper timing.

MSRP is $280. For more information, visit usarmsco.com.
