Most Helpful Positive Review Easier shooting
I just took my AR15 to the range after installing the Fortis Muzzle Brake. I fired three rounds and retrieved the target. Dead center with two keyholes. There is zero muzzle rise and recoil is almost non existent. I thought the blast would be louder. It wasn’t. About the same as with my old Linear C...

Most Helpful Negative Review Wear marks
Out of the package the muzzle break has very noticeable wear marks. It looked like someone used a metal wrench and installed the part many times . Totally disappointed with the quality control with this company .

Muzzle Break

by Neckbone, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on November 13, 2025
No need to go into it other than to say - this is the baddest addition to my 12.5 AR I have yet to date

It just works- totally the best sounding and performing one I own and I have many that span every price range

Couldn’t be happier

Wanted to like it

by Brad Z, Verified Owner from MO, United States Written on September 11, 2025
First thing I would like to say I do enjoy it, BUT only the black one I own one of each. When the Stainless Steel one arrived I was pretty upset with the color of it. Its not even close to shiny its dull and looks like garbage on my stainless steel barrel. It should be listed gray honestly. Second the threading is off so clocking it in with the crush washer doesn't work the break is far from being threaded right. The black one I own had zero problems with, clocked it on perfect and had zero issues with it. I would give a 1 star if all I owned was the Stainless steel one. Debating on returning it or painting it with duracoat because I have a can for a second project build. But that Stainless is garbage looking.
Pros:
  • Works great
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: No

Holds it Steady

by Jim, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on June 23, 2025
Thought I'd try out a muzzle brake on my AR to keep it from jumping and improve my accuracy. Shopped all over and decided on the Fortis Man. R.E.D. and it came thru with flying colors. It held it down and made it easy to pull off subsequent shots and zero my rifle in on target. Makes it a joy to shoot.

Great design

by JB, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on May 23, 2025
One of the best I have used. I read some good reviews on it so I decided to give it a try. I could not be happier. Improved recoil and it practically reduced all muzzle rise.

New build recoil reducer.

by PaperPlinker, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on May 14, 2025
Tried this on a new build after taking a few shots with no brake. This reduces the recoil quite well and I find that it dampens the sound in the indoor range. So far I'm a big fan and would use these again.
Pros:
  • Small
  • easy to install
  • Light weight
Cons:
  • No wrench flats
Would recommend: Yes

works better than advertised

by Mike, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on March 28, 2025
Followup to first review.
Got the muzzle break installed on the gun. What a difference. Had watched a number of U tube videos and read several on line reviews of the comparing various muzzle breaks. The Fortis received high marks so ordered one to up see if it would reduce the recoil out of my sig MCX 5.56. WOW!! I would estimate a minimum of 30% reduction, probably more. Gun shoots smooth like a .22 rifle. No blow back- Hold the scope on target and pop off 5 rapid shots @ 50 yards/ rounds were all in 6" of less pattern. Would buy again at twice the price.
Pros:
  • better than advertised
  • Great addition to my rifle
Cons:
  • None
  • All plus-
Best Used for:
  • Recoil compensation, fast follow up shots, and a reduction in muzzle flash.
  • Recoil and muzzle rise mitigation
Would recommend: Yes
