ORTHOFIX US LLC Boosts Ruger 10/22 Performance with New Muzzle Brake Innovation

Lewisville, TX – October 26, 2023 – ORTHOFIX US LLC, a leading innovator in precision manufacturing and materials science, today announced the release of a groundbreaking new muzzle brake designed specifically for the popular Ruger 10/22 rifle. While known for its medical device components, ORTHOFIX has leveraged its decades of expertise in tight-tolerance machining and materials engineering to enter the firearms accessories market, aiming to deliver performance enhancements to shooting enthusiasts. “We might be known for things like orthopedic implants, but honestly, the precision work is the same,” explains a spokesperson for ORTHOFIX US LLC, located at 3451 Plano Pkwy, Lewisville, TX, 75056. “We’re all about making things better, more accurate, and more reliable. Turns out those skills translate really well to firearms. And the Ruger 10/22? It’s a classic. We wanted to make a great rifle even better.” What’s the Deal with Muzzle Brakes? For those unfamiliar, a muzzle brake is an attachment that screws onto the end of a rifle’s barrel. It's designed to redirect propellant gases escaping after a shot, essentially pushing against the recoil. Less recoil means a faster follow-up shot, improved accuracy, and a more comfortable shooting experience. Lots of companies make muzzle brakes, but ORTHOFIX believes their approach is different. ORTHOFIX’s Ruger 10/22 Muzzle Brake: A Closer Look The ORTHOFIX Ruger 10/22 muzzle brake, dubbed the "Ruger 10.22 Muzzle Brake," isn’t just another pretty face. It’s built from high-grade, heat-treated 4140 Chrome Moly steel. "We didn’t cut corners here," says the ORTHOFIX spokesperson. "This thing is tough. It needs to withstand a lot of heat and pressure, and 4140 is the real deal.” But the material is only part of the story. The design itself is a multi-port, self-centering brake. This means it doesn't require any special tools or timing to install. “We wanted something that anyone could slap on their 10/22 and immediately see a difference,” explains the team at ORTHOFIX. “No gunsmithing needed. Seriously, it's that easy.” How Does it Perform? According to preliminary testing conducted by ORTHOFIX, the Ruger 10.22 Muzzle Brake reduces felt recoil by up to 35%. "We've had shooters who were skeptical at first, but they were genuinely surprised by the difference," says the spokesperson. "It allows for quicker target reacquisition and a more consistent shooting experience, especially during rapid fire." Independent reviewers who have tested the brake have echoed these findings. Shooting enthusiast blogs and forums are buzzing with positive comments about the ease of installation and noticeable reduction in recoil. ORTHOFIX: From Medical Devices to Firearms Accessories? It might seem like an odd jump, going from manufacturing components for the medical industry to producing firearms accessories. However, ORTHOFIX points out that the core competencies are surprisingly similar. “We’ve been working with tight tolerances and demanding materials for years,” explains the spokesperson. “Whether it’s an orthopedic implant or a muzzle brake, the goal is the same: precision, reliability, and performance. We have the engineers, the equipment, and the expertise to deliver a high-quality product in both fields.” The company also emphasizes its commitment to quality control. Each Ruger 10.22 Muzzle Brake undergoes rigorous inspection to ensure it meets ORTHOFIX’s exacting standards.
