Phase 5 FATman HEX BRAKE
*** Click on the link below for ordering info and pricing *** Description: The FATman Hex Brake was created to solve issues faced by many competition shooters and precision rifle builders.The 2 large (FAT) ventilated baffle sections and chambers create the compensation needed to reduce the overall recoil felt by the shooter. The FATman Hex Brake includes two top ports machined at a 20 Deg. forward directed angle. These top ports help direct the energy of the spent gas in a manner that maintains a flat consecutive result shot after shot.The design of the FATman Hex Brake allows the first chamber wall to sit as close to the barrel crown plane as possible. This design element was included to maintain the full accuracy of the barrel.The iconic Phase 5 Hex design gives the FATman Hex Brake the perfect styling that custom gun builders are looking for. • Mil-Spec Black Parkerized finish • Compatibility: 5.56mm/.223 • Length: 3” • Width: 1.26” • Weight: 6.1oz • Threading: 1/2 x 28 TPI (Threads per Inch) • Includes (1) crush washer *** CLICK HERE to take me to the Rainier Arms website ***

Just FYI the part of the brake that has "Fatman" written across it is an unthreaded sleeve that goes over your barrel; the threads actually start right at the indentation between "Fatman" and the Phase 5 logo.
ETA: It would be good to know what size wrench is needed to install the brake. I'm not a big fan of the "screwdriver through the vent ports" or the adjustable crescent wrench method of installation...

This would not be usable on a 10.3" barrel with FSB or a similar setup. |

Does anyone have any trigger time behind one of these?

Stick - that would be great. When I google it all I see is stuff talking about how cool it looks.

My first post, here goes nothing.
I've got the FatMan and the Little Boy (5.56/.223). They perform well in my opinion. I recently had to qualify with my AR last week. My scores were the same, but I found it easier to reacquire my target after each shot. I really noticed the performance while shooting on the move. Nearly no muzzle climb. It's aesthetically pleasing as well, looks good tucked inside a 15" rail. |

Honestly I haven't noticed. I've shot with others and they haven't mentioned how bad/minuscule it is. I'm supposed to go shoot again this weekend during some training. I'll post more about it.
Might get a little info here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKZpuRueG30 |

Had one of these on my AR for about a month and put around 1500 rounds through it. I took a two day AR Vitals class and I felt sorry for the shooters next to me. When firing from a vehicle my partner said the blast was almost too much.
I really wish I was able to still run it. It made my rifle very enjoyable to shoot. I had a 16" barrel in a 15" Atlas rail and it fit perfect. Installed with an adjustable wrench. I was disappointed when I changed my rail to a Bootleginc rail and it wouldn't fit inside. |
