The Axelson ROC Competition Brake is designed for the AR-15 platform with competition shooters in mind.
The Axelson Tactical ROC Competition Muzzle Brake took me some time to get used to. I’m not gonna lie, although impressed by the quality of the muzzle brake, I didn’t think tuning a brake was a real thing. I was however, willing to experiment with it. Turns out, the ROC Muzzle brake is more than a gimmick. The ability to tune the brake offer shooters a significant advantage over a flash suppressor.
Tuning the ROC Competition Brake
When it comes to tuning the ROC muzzle brake you need to experiment with what works for you. For me, the recoil impulse from my rifle was up and to the left. No doubt the AR-15 is not a heavy recoiling or rapidly rising rifle. It can be fired rapidly quite comfortably. However, for most competition shooters, every little advantage is helpful. Competitions can be decided by fractions of a second. The ROC competition brake allows you to remain on target with minimal movement. To tune my ROC brake for the recoil impulse, I removed 4 of the adjustable tuning screws. These were the furthest four to the left. With these tuning screws removed the barrel simply stopped moving. Almost all noticeable recoil and muzzle rise was completely eliminated.
The ROC muzzle brake performs impressively. Removing the tuning screws was simple, and could be done at the range. The biggest problem is not losing the tuning screws once removed. The ROC muzzle brake is a hybrid brake and compensator that isn’t afraid of a little flash and noise to accomplish its goal. The Axelson Tactical ROC Competition Brake is well designed and the tunable screws cannot actually get in the way of the projectile leaving the barrel. They bottom out well before that becomes an issue.
Like any brake, you don’t want to take this bad boy to an indoor range. If you do your fellow shooters will absolutely hate you. The concussion is absolutely brutal for the person to the left and right to you. The brake makes shooting ridiculously loud and is best left for outdoor ranges. There is also a ton of flash in low light conditions, however, it does make for cool pictures. This isn’t a model I’d use with a self-defense rifle due to the bright muzzle flash. However, if you toss the Axelson Tactical Blast Shield over it, the brake can serve dual roles.
The Axelson Tactical ROC muzzle brake is more than a gimmick and is a well-made piece of gear that has given my rifle a deserved edge.
The Axelson ROC Competition Muzzle Brake is designed for the AR-15 platform with competition shooters in mind. Its measurements are within the 3” length and 1” width specifications for both the USPSA Multi-Gun Limited Division and 3-Gun Tactical Classes. The ROC Competition features a total of 16 ports, 10 of which are tunable. This cutting-edge technology allows shooters to tune their personal rifle and ammunition for peak performance. Each tuning screw can be adjusted with a standard Allen key. Screws are designed to bottom out, preventing them being over-adjusted and falling or vibrating into the muzzle brake. In addition to its tunability the ROC Competition has side ports to reduce felt recoil and improve accuracy. This muzzle brake is advantageous for competitors and sport shooters alike; control, stability, and accuracy benefit every shooter. ~axelsonusa.com
