Description
The Precision Armament Hypertap muzzle brake is the product of years spent refining what a muzzle device can do, and it shows the second you touch off a round. This standard body version is built for 6.5mm and .264 caliber rifles with a 5/8×24 threaded barrel, and it uses a proprietary Hybrid Baffle design paired with Convergent-Divergent port geometry to move gas with serious efficiency. The payoff is a dramatic drop in felt recoil, which keeps your sight picture steadier and lets you spot your own impacts.
What Sets the Hypertap 6.5mm Brake Apart
Most brakes force a trade-off between recoil reduction and blast directed back at the user, but this one is designed to sidestep that. It runs modest 35-degree baffle angles, which help keep blowback and gas away from your face, and it carries one of the largest bore clearances in the industry to stay forgiving against minor alignment issues. It also does not add muzzle flash, so you are not trading recoil control for a fireball. The brake is machined from 400-series stainless steel with a tough black Ionbond CrCN finish, and it is made in the USA.
Tuning and Install on the Hypertap Standard Body
One of the slickest parts of this brake is the integrated universal timing nut. There are no shims or crush washers to fuss with, so you can thread it on, clock it straight, and tighten it down using a standard adjustable wrench or the spanner tools that come in the box. If you want to fine-tune how the brake behaves, the pilot holes can be drilled out for gas biasing, letting you dial out muzzle rise to taste. Keep in mind the minimum recommended barrel length is 14.5 inches to keep the blast manageable.
At roughly 2.94 inches long and about 4.9 ounces with the timing nut, this is a compact, no-nonsense brake that earns its spot on target rifles, hunting builds, and competition guns chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 PRC, and other .264 cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles will the Hypertap 6.5mm muzzle brake fit?
This brake is cut for 6.5mm and .264 caliber barrels with 5/8×24 right-hand threads, which covers cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 PRC, and 6mm variants on the same bore. Precision Armament recommends a minimum barrel length of 14.5 inches to keep the blast and concussion reasonable. As long as your barrel is threaded 5/8×24 and chambered in a compatible 6.5mm or smaller .264 round, you are good to go.
Do I need shims or a crush washer to install it?
No, and that is one of the best parts. The Hypertap uses an integrated universal timing nut, so you just thread it on, index it straight up, and lock it down with a standard adjustable wrench or the included spanner tools. No shims, no crush washers, and no guesswork.
How much does the Hypertap actually reduce recoil?
Precision Armament lists recoil reduction figures ranging from around 70 percent up to roughly 84 percent depending on the cartridge and test setup. The Convergent-Divergent port geometry and hybrid baffles are what drive that performance, and the real-world difference in muzzle rise is noticeable, which makes spotting your own shots and getting back on target much easier.
Can the Hypertap be tuned to reduce muzzle rise?
Yes. The brake ships with pilot holes that can be carefully drilled out to introduce gas biasing, which lets you counteract or even eliminate sight picture movement when firing. Because the brake already strips out so much recoil, many users find there is not much muzzle rise left to tune, so check how it behaves first before you start drilling.
