OrthoFix US LLC Expands into Precision Firearm Accessories with New Ruger 10/22 Muzzle Brake

Lewisville, TX – October 26, 2023 – You might know OrthoFix US LLC as a leader in medical device innovation, focused on orthopedics and spinal care. But, we're also a team of serious engineering folks with a passion for precision – and that's led us to a bit of a side project. We're thrilled to announce the launch of our new Ruger 10/22 muzzle brake, designed to seriously boost performance and accuracy for the popular .22LR rifle. Now, you're probably thinking, “Wait, OrthoFix makes medical stuff, right?” And you're absolutely right! For years, we've been pushing the boundaries of materials science and manufacturing, developing incredibly precise instruments and implants. It turns out, those same skills translate surprisingly well to the firearms world. “We've always prided ourselves on our engineering expertise,” explains a company spokesperson. “We’ve got a state-of-the-art machine shop and a team who love a good engineering challenge. Someone suggested tackling a 10/22 muzzle brake as a personal project, and it just evolved from there. We figured, why not apply our precision manufacturing to something a little different?" So, What is a Muzzle Brake, and Why Should You Care? Let's break it down simply. When you fire a gun, gases rush out of the barrel, creating recoil – that kick you feel. A muzzle brake is a device that attaches to the end of the barrel and redirects those gases forward, reducing recoil and muzzle rise. Think of it like this: instead of all that energy pushing back at you, some of it is redirected forward, essentially canceling out some of the kick. The result? Reduced Recoil: Makes the rifle more comfortable to shoot, especially during extended sessions. Faster Follow-Up Shots: Because the rifle doesn't move as much, you can get back on target quicker for your next shot. Improved Accuracy: Less movement means tighter groupings and more consistent results. The OrthoFix Difference: Engineering Precision for the 10/22 We didn’t just want to create another muzzle brake. We wanted to build one that lived up to our standards of precision and performance. Here's how we approached it: Material Selection: We're using high-grade, heat-treated stainless steel. This isn't just about looking good (though it does look good!). It’s about durability and resisting wear and tear. This brake is built to last. Precision Machining: This is where our medical device expertise really shines. We're using our CNC machining centers (the same ones used to create surgical instruments!) to create incredibly tight tolerances. This means a perfect fit and consistent performance. Optimized Design: We spent countless hours modeling and testing different designs to find the sweet spot between recoil reduction and minimizing muzzle blast. We wanted something that was effective, but wouldn’t make your ears ring all day. (Ear protection is always recommended, of course!). Easy Installation: We know nobody wants to spend hours fiddling with their rifle. Our muzzle brake is designed for quick and easy installation – usually just a simple thread-on application. (Check your local laws and regulations before installing any firearm accessory!). Finish: Available in a sleek matte black or polished stainless steel, it will look great on your Ruger 10/22. Beyond Medical: Expanding Our Capabilities This project isn’t just about entering a new market. It’s about showcasing the versatility of our team and our equipment. "We're always looking for ways to challenge ourselves and push the boundaries of what's possible," says the spokesperson. "This muzzle brake is a testament to our capabilities and our commitment to precision engineering." Who is this for? Plinkers: Enjoy casual target shooting? Less recoil means more fun for hours on end. Competitors: Looking for an edge in rimfire competitions? Improved accuracy and faster follow-up shots can make all the difference. Hunters: Need a more stable platform for small game hunting? A muzzle brake can help you make those critical shots. 10/22 Enthusiasts: Just love tinkering with your rifle? This is a great way to upgrade your favorite .22.
