American Precision Arms built the Gen 2 Little Bastard around one idea: recoil control shouldn't require a trip to the gunsmith. This brake uses a two-piece system with a separate timing nut, so once your barrel is threaded to spec, you can thread it on, snug it down, and be done. No crush washers, no peel shims, no waiting around for someone else to index it for you.
The separate nut is what makes this brake self-timing. It lets the ports land exactly where they need to be without a professional install or any of the trial-and-error that comes with older crush-washer style brakes. All it takes is your hands and a crescent wrench, and most people have it on in about 30 seconds. That also means taking it off for cleaning, or moving it to a different rifle, is just as painless.
This version is machined from stainless steel and bored to run cartridges .308 and under, covering 6.5mm, 6mm, and .223 as well. It's threaded 5/8-24 tpi, measures 2.22 inches overall, and comes in at a full 1 inch in diameter, so it's sized to fit barrels ranging from .750 to 1.0 inch at the muzzle. That covers most bull and heavy sporter contours you'll find on a factory or custom build.
The Little Bastard name has been a fixture at long-range matches for over a decade, and the port design underneath the Gen 2's simple exterior is the same proprietary layout that's landed APA brakes on plenty of podiums. It's not just about looking tactical on the end of a barrel, this thing genuinely tames recoil and keeps your reticle from bouncing off target between shots. For anyone running the same rifle across multiple barrels over a season, being able to pull this brake and swap it in seconds is a real advantage most other brakes can't match.
No, that's the whole point of the Gen 2 design. As long as your barrel is already threaded to 5/8-24 tpi, the separate timing nut lets you install it yourself in about 30 seconds using just a crescent wrench. There's no crush washer or peel shim involved, so you won't have to fuss with alignment.
This Little Bastard is bored for .308 and anything smaller, including 6.5mm, 6mm, and .223 caliber rifles. It's built to fit barrel diameters between .750 and 1.0 inch at the muzzle, which covers most bull and heavy sporter contours.
Yes, that's one of the biggest advantages of the two-piece Gen 2 system. Competitive shooters who go through several barrels in a season often pull the brake and reinstall it on a new barrel in seconds, as long as the new barrel is threaded to the same 5/8-24 spec.
The Little Bastard uses APA's proprietary port design, which has a long track record at long-range competitions for cutting felt recoil and keeping the muzzle from climbing off target. Results vary some by caliber and load, but it's widely regarded as one of the more effective brakes in its class.
