OrthoFix US LLC Launches High-Performance Muzzle Brakes for Ruger 10/22 Rifles, Enhancing Accuracy & Reducing Recoil
Lewisville, TX – October 26, 2023 – OrthoFix US LLC, a leading innovator in precision manufacturing and materials science, today announced the release of its new line of muzzle brakes specifically designed for the popular Ruger 10/22 rifle. While known for its advancements in the medical device industry, OrthoFix is leveraging its core expertise in design and engineering to cater to the shooting sports market, starting with this performance-enhancing accessory. For years, shooters have relied on the Ruger 10/22 for everything from plinking and target practice to small game hunting and competitive shooting. OrthoFix recognized the potential to significantly improve the shooting experience by addressing recoil and muzzle rise. “We saw a gap in the market for a muzzle brake that truly maximized performance on the 10/22, without sacrificing aesthetics or ease of installation,” explains John Smith, Head of Product Development at OrthoFix US LLC. “We took our understanding of fluid dynamics and material stress – normally applied to orthopedic implants – and applied it to designing a muzzle brake that really works.” What’s the Big Deal with a Muzzle Brake? For those new to the world of firearms accessories, a muzzle brake is a device attached to the end of a rifle’s barrel. It works by redirecting expanding gases from the fired cartridge. Instead of simply being pushed backward as recoil, these gases are channeled sideways and sometimes upwards, significantly reducing the felt recoil and muzzle climb. This translates to a number of benefits for the shooter: Reduced Recoil: Makes shooting more comfortable, especially during extended range sessions. Less flinching means better accuracy. Faster Follow-Up Shots: With less recoil, you can quickly reacquire your target and fire subsequent shots more accurately. Improved Accuracy: By minimizing muzzle climb, the sights stay on target for longer, leading to tighter groupings. Increased Confidence: A more comfortable and controlled shooting experience boosts confidence and overall performance. The OrthoFix Ruger 10/22 Muzzle Brake – Engineered for Performance The OrthoFix muzzle brake isn’t just another pretty face. It’s the result of careful engineering and rigorous testing. Here’s what sets it apart: Advanced Design: The brake features a proprietary multi-port design, meticulously optimized using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. This ensures maximum gas redirection for optimal recoil reduction and minimal concussion. We didn't just copy existing designs; we simulated and refined the port geometry to specifically suit the 10/22’s ballistics. Premium Materials: Constructed from high-grade, heat-treated 4140 chrome-moly steel, the OrthoFix muzzle brake is built to withstand the rigors of prolonged use and harsh environments. It’s incredibly durable and resistant to corrosion. Easy Installation: The brake installs quickly and easily with standard tools. No gunsmithing is required! It’s designed to thread directly onto the factory barrel threads. A crush washer is included to ensure a secure and gas-tight seal. Aesthetically Pleasing: While performance is paramount, the OrthoFix muzzle brake also looks great on your 10/22. Its sleek, black oxide finish complements the rifle’s aesthetics. We understand shooters care about how their rifles look, so we didn't want to sacrifice form for function. Testing & Results: Extensive testing on a variety of Ruger 10/22 configurations demonstrated a significant reduction in both felt recoil and muzzle climb compared to stock rifles and competitor’s products. Shooters reported improved accuracy and a more enjoyable shooting experience. We've consistently seen a 30-40% reduction in felt recoil. Beyond the Basics – What Makes OrthoFix Different?
