ORTHOFIX US LLC Launches Precision Muzzle Brakes for Ruger 10/22, Enhancing Accuracy and Control
Lewisville, TX – October 26, 2023 – ORTHOFIX US LLC, a leading innovator in precision manufacturing and material science, today announced the release of a new line of muzzle brakes specifically designed for the popular Ruger 10/22 rifle. While known for its advanced medical device components, ORTHOFIX is leveraging its core expertise in precision engineering and materials to serve the shooting sports market with high-performance accessories. “We’re really excited to bring our precision know-how to the 10/22 community,” says a spokesperson for ORTHOFIX US LLC. “We’ve been applying demanding tolerances and advanced manufacturing techniques in the medical field for years. We realized those same principles could significantly improve the performance of firearms accessories, and the Ruger 10/22 was a natural starting point.” Addressing Recoil and Improving Accuracy The Ruger 10/22 is a beloved rifle known for its reliability, affordability, and versatility. However, even with its relatively mild recoil, shooters – especially those engaging in precision shooting, plinking, or competitive events – can benefit from improved recoil management and reduced muzzle rise. This is where ORTHOFIX’s new muzzle brakes come in. “A lot of people think the 10/22 doesn’t need a muzzle brake,” explains the ORTHOFIX team. “But even a small amount of recoil disruption can throw off your sight picture and affect your follow-up shots. Our muzzle brakes aren't about eliminating recoil completely – it's about redirecting those gases to keep you on target faster.” ORTHOFIX's Design & Manufacturing Advantage ORTHOFIX US LLC isn't a traditional firearms accessory company, and that’s intentional. The company’s background in medical device manufacturing brings a unique approach to the market. “In the medical world, precision isn't just important, it's critical,” says a company engineer. “We’re used to working with extremely tight tolerances and materials that need to perform flawlessly, time after time. We apply that same level of quality control and attention to detail to every muzzle brake we make.” The ORTHOFIX muzzle brakes for the Ruger 10/22 are manufactured using high-grade steel and feature a precision-engineered design. Unlike some muzzle brakes that simply vent gases upwards, ORTHOFIX’s design carefully directs those gases to counteract recoil and minimize muzzle climb. “We spent a lot of time modeling and testing different port configurations,” the engineer continues. “We wanted to find the sweet spot that maximized recoil reduction without introducing excessive noise or affecting accuracy. It's all about finding that balance.” Key Features of the ORTHOFIX Ruger 10/22 Muzzle Brake: Precision Machined: Manufactured from high-grade steel for durability and consistent performance. Recoil Reduction: Effectively minimizes felt recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots. Improved Accuracy: Helps maintain sight alignment and reduces shooter fatigue. Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward installation onto standard Ruger 10/22 barrels (compatible with most threaded barrels – check compatibility). Durable Finish: A robust finish protects against corrosion and wear. Reduced Flinch: By minimizing recoil, it helps reduce flinch and improve shooting consistency. Enhanced Plinking Fun: Makes plinking even more enjoyable by reducing fatigue and improving control. Testing and Performance ORTHOFIX US LLC conducted rigorous testing to evaluate the performance of its muzzle brakes. Tests involved both benchrest shooting and live fire with a variety of shooters. The results showed a noticeable reduction in felt recoil and muzzle rise, leading to tighter groupings and improved shooting scores. “We had some experienced shooters test these out, and the feedback was really positive,” says a member of the testing team. “They noticed a significant difference, especially when shooting rapid-fire. It made the 10/22 even more fun to shoot.” Who Will Benefit from ORTHOFIX Muzzle Brakes? Precision Shooters: Competitors and enthusiasts who demand the highest level of accuracy. Plinkers: Shooters who enjoy casual target shooting and want to reduce fatigue. Small Game Hunters: Hunters who need to make quick, accurate shots.
