Great product, not-so-great shipping & packaging - TRYBE Defense CIB Cowl Induction Muzzle Brake

This muzzle brake is a great choice at a fantastic price, especially considering it’s currently being sold for around $60, a huge drop from its regular price of over $130. I'm not sure if this new price is temporary or will stick, but if you can get it within that $50-$60 range, it's a very good product for its kind.

The brake does its job effectively and is straightforward to install. It comes with a supplied shim package, which is used to time the unit correctly. Note that it does not come with a locking nut at the base. You have to adjust the provided shims until you can hand-tighten the unit against the shoulder of your barrel's threads and have the muzzle brake timed correctly.

My only problem with this purchase was not with the product itself, but with the shipping from OpticsPlanet. They sent the muzzle brake in a flimsy plastic envelope instead of a box or a padded mailer. The cardboard box it was placed in had collapsed entirely and was torn, and the steel muzzle brake was poking holes through the plastic bag. It was only by a miracle that everything was still in the bag and nothing fell out.

OpticsPlanet definitely needs to improve its shipping and packaging system. While the product is great, the way it was shipped could have easily resulted in a lost or damaged item.
