Q built its whole mounting system around the Cherry Bomb, and this version scales the concept up for 8.6 Blackout. It is machined from 17-4 stainless steel, weighs in at a trim 3.2 ounces, and threads onto any 5/8-24 muzzle with a .338 caliber bore to match the 8.6 BLK. The taper mount shoulder is the star of the show here. It self-centers against a taper-cut barrel and gives Q silencers like the PORQ CHOP and Short Chop a repeatable, wobble-free lockup every time you spin one on. If your barrel has a standard 90 degree shoulder instead, no problem, the Cherry Bomb is backward compatible with those too.
Anyone who has fought with crush washers and shim kits will appreciate how this brake goes on. The ports run 360 degrees around the body, so there is no timing to worry about. Just torque it down using the 9/16 inch socket flats machined into the front and you are done. Q suggests a 1/4 inch drive socket for the best fit, since half-inch drive sockets vary quite a bit in outside diameter. One thing worth knowing before you order: at 2.27 inches overall, the Cherry Bomb is too short for pinning and welding to a barrel.
As a standalone brake, the circumferential porting takes real bite out of recoil on a cartridge that pushes heavy .338 bullets. As a suppressor mount, it only adds about 0.8 inches to your barrel while opening the door to Q's Quickie Fast-Attach cans. That dual-purpose design is exactly why the Cherry Bomb became the backbone of Q's ecosystem in the first place. Whether you are running a Fix in 8.6, a bolt gun conversion, or a large-frame AR build, this is the natural starting point for getting the muzzle end sorted.
This version is sized for Q's big-bore cans, specifically the PORQ CHOP and Short Chop, using the Quickie Fast-Attach taper system. Keep in mind the compatibility only goes one direction: a larger bore mount like this one should not be paired with a smaller caliber suppressor. If you run standard Cherry Bomb cans like the Trash Panda or Thunder Chicken, you want the regular 7.62 version instead.
No, and that is one of its best features. The ports wrap 360 degrees around the brake, so there is nothing to time or clock. Thread it on, torque it with a 9/16 inch socket on the front flats, and you are ready to go. A 1/4 inch drive socket tends to fit the flats best.
Yes. While the taper mount shoulder is designed to self-center against Q's taper-cut barrels, the Cherry Bomb is backward compatible with standard 90 degree shouldered barrels. You still get the brake performance and suppressor mounting either way, as long as your muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 and your bore matches.
No, this is not the right device for that. At 2.27 inches overall, Q states the Cherry Bomb is too short and is not recommended for pin and weld work. It is meant to be a threaded, removable brake and suppressor mount.
