We’re now offering a brand new muzzle brake specifically designed for the incredibly popular Ruger 10/22 rifle. It sounds a bit different for us, right? But stick with us – it all comes down to precision and quality, things we're really good at. For years, OrthoFix has been helping surgeons and patients with advanced medical solutions, demanding the highest standards in manufacturing and material science.

You can reach us at 615-687-5259 if you have any questions. So, what's this all about with the Ruger 10/22? The Ruger 10/22 is a legendary .22LR rifle – super reliable, fun to shoot, and hugely popular. But even a great rifle can benefit from a little tweaking, and that's where our new muzzle brake comes in. What does a muzzle brake do anyway? Good question! A muzzle brake is a device that attaches to the end of your rifle’s barrel. Its job is to redirect some of the gases that are released when you fire a round. Normally, those gases just shoot straight back, causing recoil (that kick you feel). Our muzzle brake redirects those gases upwards and sideways. This dramatically reduces the felt recoil and muzzle climb (when the rifle jumps up during firing). Okay, so less kick and jump. Why is that helpful? It makes a big difference, especially when shooting rapidly. Less recoil means you can stay on target easier, get back on aim quicker, and potentially improve your accuracy. This is great for plinking (casual shooting), target practice, small game hunting, and even competitive shooting. If you're shooting a lot, your shoulder will thank you! What makes the OrthoFix muzzle brake different? We didn't just slap a design together. We really thought about what makes a great muzzle brake, leveraging our engineering experience from the medical field. Here’s what sets ours apart: Precision Machined: This isn’t some mass-produced, low-quality part. Each muzzle brake is precision machined right here in the USA, using high-quality materials. We’re talking tight tolerances and consistent performance. Premium Materials: We’re using durable, corrosion-resistant materials designed to withstand years of use, even in harsh conditions. We're still finalizing the exact alloy specification, but it’s going to be top-tier. Effective Design: Our design isn’t overly complicated. We focused on maximizing recoil reduction and minimizing muzzle climb without adding a ton of weight or bulk. It's a sleek, functional design. Easy Installation: We know nobody wants to spend hours wrestling with a new accessory. The muzzle brake is designed for simple, straightforward installation – usually just a few minutes with basic tools. It’s compatible with standard Ruger 10/22 barrels (check compatibility notes below). Built to Last: At OrthoFix, durability is in our DNA. We design things to withstand rigorous use, and this muzzle brake is no exception. It's built to hold up to years of shooting. Who is this muzzle brake for? Honestly? Pretty much any Ruger 10/22 owner! Plinkers: Make those fun days at the range even more enjoyable with reduced recoil and faster follow-up shots. Target Shooters: Improve your accuracy and consistency with a more stable shooting platform. Hunters: Minimize muzzle jump for quicker follow-up shots on small game. Competitive Shooters: Gain a competitive edge with improved control and accuracy. Compatibility & Important Notes: Barrel Compatibility: This muzzle brake is designed for standard Ruger 10/22 barrels with a threaded muzzle. Please verify your barrel is threaded before ordering. Not all Ruger 10/22 barrels come with threads from the factory. Thread Size: The muzzle brake is currently available in ½”-28 threads, which is the most common thread size for Ruger 10/22 rifles. We may offer other thread sizes in the future. Installation: While relatively easy, proper installation is crucial. We recommend using a quality gunsmithing thread locker to ensure the muzzle brake is securely attached. Legal Considerations: Please be aware of and comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding firearm accessories. While this is generally considered a legal accessory, laws can vary.
