Will it work with the M4-1000 spring? I assume a shim kit for correct timing? Wonder what they changed to allow shim kit use, where shims were verboten before…???
Shivan - I don’t think it will work with the M41000 because they have only released the 51 tooth ratchet mount version. Just a guess, but I think the difference regarding shims is due to the brakeout needing to be timed so that the ports are oriented correctly, versus the standard blackout not needing to be timed.
That looks pretty cool. I wonder how obnoxious the muzzle blast is compared to PWS and Surefire brakes.
Probably somewhere in between the two. The surefire is absolutely obnoxious whereas the PWS offering is really quite tame when it comes to brakes.
Anyone have one mounted? pics?
I’m a couple weeks out getting from getting mine done.
It’s flat on the very back allowing the use of shims.
A spring-mount can will screw on to this and will probably work for at least a few shots, but we can’t cover it via warranty as the springs won’t grab the ratchet teeth enough to secure the can.
Shims have always “been allowed” to be used with the Blackout hiders, but they were unnecessary (no timing needed) and could cause problems on some of them (the hiders that have a counterbored back).
It was crush washers that were/are verboten.
Our Blackout brakes (and now the Brakeout) have flat backs and come with shim kits for timing.
We are not selling this as the best thing since sliced bread. It is a good compromise between a brake and the hider. That said, the blackout hiders are tops for flash suppression, and the full brakes kill recoil best. But the Brakeouts are a good compromise in both areas.
The first batch sold out QUICK, we have more on the way.
Has the ATF told you guys if this is considered a break or a flash hider. Those of us behind enemy lines would like to know.
That’s a good question,
let me find out.
Do you plan on offering a non-mount version?
Rob (or anyone else interested in making something similar), here is somewhere for you to get started on that jig and some methodology for measuring the recoil.

Yes, we are planning non-mount versions of the Brakeout and the brakes. BUT, no timeline for that yet.
Story of my life…
I just had an AAC brakeout put onto my Noveske…
Going to shoot it tomorrow!
I like mine, though I have not had the chance to get it to the range just yet, next week for sure.

Plato and DC, would like a range report on the Brakeout when you get a chance. Also is the Brake out a good option for an SBR(10.5 LMT)?
If you are running this brake, non suppressor use can/should you use a crush washer? or nothing at all?
It’s a good option for an SBR. It will be LOUD like all brakes, but it also gives a “baffle-like” surface to absorb some of the blast, protecting your silencer’s blast baffle somewhat.
I find all 10 inch guns to be loud no matter what is on the front (not counting a silencer)
You should still use the included shim kit to time it as the 3 “brake ports” are designed to line up at 9, 12 and 3 o’clock. (closed bottom)
Any reason the Brake isn’t on the website anymore? I’ve got a spare for when I burn through the one on my SBR but I wouldn’t mind having another backup.
Our website is being updated this week, new backend, so it will be spotty. We should have them in stock, you can call and order, or the site should show them next week.
