The ECCO Machine Gyrex Mini Brake is a short radial port muzzle brake that reduces length & weight as compared to our Helix port and single port brakes, which is particularly useful for suppressors with short blast chambers that can scarcely accommodate a muzzle device.
As with any taper mount design, the taper ensures better alignment and retention than simple direct thread so your point of impact remains the same from shot to shot, and each time you remove & install the suppressor. The 1-12 UNF threads allow rapid 4-revolution installation and removal while the wide 12° included taper ensures solid mating with the fairly coarse threads.
These brakes are monolithic with all critical features machined in a single set up to ensure the best possible alignment, and are made from 17-4 stainless steel heat treated to H900 temper for a long service life on any host.
The Gyrex Mini Brake protrudes 0.9″ into the suppressor from the rear face of your Bravo threads with our standard Bravo adapter, 0.4″ with our extended Bravo adapter, and just .68″ when used with our Alpha, 1.180-24 and 1.203-28 adapters. We recommend a minimum 1/4″ clearance from the front of the brake to the blast baffle tip for high velocity rifle applications.
All Gyrex brakes are through-threaded; due to the one-piece bored-from-rear design, they cannot have an internal shoulder to register on muzzles.
The Taper and thread pattern for Gyrex are proprietary to ECCO Machine Gyrex mounts. Neither the muzzle devices or adapters are compatible with other taper mount systems.
