Description

Precision Armament built the Hypertap after years of chasing the limits of what a muzzle device can do, and the Slim 7.62/.308 version is proof they got there. This is the trimmed-down body in a black finish, threaded 5/8×24 for your .30-caliber rifle, and it brings the same Hybrid Baffle Design and Convergent-Divergent (CD) port geometry that the bigger body uses. The payoff is serious recoil control without the harsh concussion and gas blowback you get from a lot of aggressive brakes.

What the Hypertap Slim Does on a .308

With standard 147gr FMJ .308, the Slim body measures right around 67% recoil reduction, which is just a hair behind the full-size body thanks to a little less internal surface area. That still means a noticeably flatter rifle, less muzzle rise, and a sight picture that barely budges between shots. The 35-degree baffle angles are built to redirect splashback away from you in the event of a baffle strike, and the generous bore clearance gives you some forgiveness against minor alignment issues. It also won't add muzzle flash the way some brakes do.

Timing the Hypertap Without the Headache

The integrated universal timing nut is where this thing earns its keep. No shims, no crush washers, no guessing. You thread it on, snug the nut up against the shoulder, and time the brake by eye using the two included spanner wrenches. For a more permanent setup, an adjustable wrench and some high-temp thread locker get the job done. It installs and comes off in minutes, which makes it easy to swap or clean.

Tunable Ports and Tough Materials

The Hypertap is machined from high-strength 400-series stainless steel, so it shrugs off heat, gun oils, and solvents, and it stays easy to clean. If you want to fine-tune your gas biasing, the piloted pilot holes can be drilled out to kill off any leftover sight movement and dial the brake in to your load. Precision Armament recommends a minimum barrel length of 14.5 inches to keep blast and concussion in check.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thread does the Hypertap Slim .308 use?

This model is cut for 5/8×24 threads, which is the standard pitch for most .30-caliber rifles. Make sure your barrel is threaded 5/8×24 before ordering. It will not fit a 1/2×28 muzzle.

Do I need shims or a crush washer to time the Hypertap?

No. The Hypertap uses an integrated universal timing nut, so there are no shims or crush washers involved. You thread it on, time the brake by eye, and tighten the nut against the shoulder using the included spanner wrenches or an adjustable wrench.

How much recoil reduction does the Slim body give up compared to the Standard body?

The Slim body has a little less internal surface area, so it gives up only a small amount of performance. With 147gr FMJ .308, the Slim measures about 67% recoil reduction versus roughly 70% for the Standard body. For most people the difference on the shoulder is tough to feel.

Can I tune the Hypertap to get rid of sight picture movement?

Yes. The brake has piloted drill-out ports that let you customize gas biasing. Drilling them out allows you to reduce or even eliminate muzzle movement so your sight picture stays rock steady for your specific load.
