The Cadex MX1 mini muzzle brake is designed to deflect the muzzle blast away from the shooter and his spotter. Gases exit sideways and upwards to reduce felt recoil, dust cloud, and improve rifle control. It will soften your 5.56 recoil like it was a .22 LR (well, maybe not that much but it will look cool as s**t).
Cadex has long been a leader in muzzle brakes for the large caliber shooter. Now, Cadex brings us the AR-15/M4/M16 muzzle break, in its new (for 2021) Micro MX1.
