Softer, Flatter, No Extra Blast.
With the original, and best-selling Hellfire release in 2016 we packed everything we knew about making a good muzzle brake into one design. Now, years later, we went back to the drawing board with a deeper understanding of what a brake can and should do, and how it can make a rifle as manageable as possible as the bullet exits.
Introducing the Hellfire Match.
This 4-port design isn’t simply stacking more of the same design on the end, it’s a complete redesign with each port being different. Different length ports, different angle ports, and different height port optimizes each one to provide an ideal function based on the pressure and volume of gas being acted on at its position. This results in optimal recoil management, optimal muzzle rise control, and imparts no extra sound pressure at the shooter position.
Using our patented Hellfire Self-Timing system, this brake uses the same Hellfire Universal Adapters that have been in our lineup for years, and can integrate with your Suppressor Mounts, Hellfire, Hellfire 2P and Linear Flash Suppressor. While this will be the new flagship brake, it is very much a part of our super popular Hellfire family.
Caliber Selection
In order to simplify the choices, we have four caliber selections available for the HELLFIRE brake. The difference in efficiency between using a caliber specific brake bore, and the next size up is so minimal if not non existent that we decided to simplify things in order to lower overall costs to you the consumer. As you can imagine, trying to stock the exact quantities required of six or so different calibers would be impossible.
223/6mm – Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.243 (6mm), ie 223, 5.56 NATO, 204, 17 cal, etc
6.5mm – Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.264 (6.5mm), ie 257, (Magnums OK)
7mm/308 – Good for any bullet caliber up to and including 0.308, ie 7mm, 284, 270, (Magnums OK)
Notable Features
– Extremely easy installation, brake WILL NOT turn as you torque the collar to lock. No more guessing where the brake ports will line up once you tighten it down!
– Simple round knurled nut that requires no tools to time the brake.
– Return to zero is excellent. This means removal of your brake and re-installation will not require a zero change.
– Suppressor mount adapters available HERE
– Simply torque the universal adapter onto your barrel with a 5/8″ wrench, this piece never has to come off. Next, LEFT HAND thread the brake/collar assembly onto the adapter until it is almost snug. Now rotate the brake until it is level, push the brake into the adapter and you will feel it lock onto the taper. Now tighten the collar fully by hand, and you are done!
Maintenance
Maintenance on any muzzle brake is essential. Just like your barrel, muzzle brakes need cleaned. Over time carbon will build up in the ports, mainly the last port as the first two are semi-self cleaning from the muzzle blast. When this carbon builds up, it will eventually get to the point that bullets can actually strike it. Depending on your shooting regimen you may not notice this, you might just call it a flier. But in a competition when you need every round to impact, this is critical. Carbon bullet strikes are a worst case scenario, but the buildup can also cause accuracy or POI issues just due to airflow changes in the brake ports.
NOTE: The use of Lemishine (or any citric-acid cleaner) or CLR to clean your brake will likely discolor the black nitride, and will void the lifetime warranty of your product. Don’t do this. Seriously. It’ll turn pink and you’ll feel like an idiot.
- The best cleaning method for any muzzle brake is PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. If you clean the brake every time you clean the barrel (200-400 round intervals, shorter for 6mm rounds) it will make your life much much easier. With that being said, just soak the brake in a carbon cleaner like Boretech C4 and all the carbon should come right out, especially if you have a Black Nitride brake. Raw stainless brakes can be more challenging to clean because the surface is more porous. If necessary, you can use any kind of cleaning brush to aid in the removal of carbon from the ports. Black Nitride is harder than any material they attach to a brush, so you will not scratch the surface. Raw stainless may scratch if you use a stainless or other harder bristle brush.
- If you decide to wait until 1000 rounds or more, you will have a lot of carbon buildup in the 2nd and 3rd port which will take some effort to remove. Best method here is probably to soak for a day or two in C4 and use a pick to get the big chunks out. Then follow the above method to get the remainder off.
- You should also clean your Universal Adapter with the same care. Every time you clean your barrel, let the carbon cleaner from patching the barrel soak on the muzzle for a few minutes and use a q-tip to wipe any carbon from the barrel crown and inside the end of the adapter. Soak a patch in carbon cleaner and wipe the taper surface of the adapter off. If there is persistent carbon on the surface, use steel wool to remove, it will not damage the surface.
- Brakes should not be placed in a wet tumbler, specifically not one with pins or media of any sort. The small pins can work their way into the collar/retaining ring area, and this is likely to compromise the integrity of the retention device in the brake. Foreign material here can result in the brake becoming a projectile. This is not safe, and will void the product warranty.

I’ve always shot suppressed but started shooting some local prs match’s and wanted to see if a muzzle break had any advantages . Yes it does sure it has more noise than suppressed but holy S$%^ that muzzle doesn’t more an inch ! And when I want to shoot suppressed just take off the hellfire and screw on the thunder beast and way we go lol

Seems like there’s become an insurmountable number of offerings available these days and all claim to be the best, so I did a great deal of research in trying to locate the finest to meet my needs for superior recoil reduction. I decided on the Area 419 Hellfire Match for my long range 6.5 Creedmoor precision long range rifle. I was definitely not disappointed. The quality is unsurpassed by any other manufacturer.

Take my money
David P. (verified owner) –
Been running one of these in 6mm for competitions for a couple seasons and tried something simpler and cheaper for larger calibers before retiring them and getting a 30 cal Hellfire Match. The other ones were either less effective or kicked enough concussion back into my face to be distracting. The Hellfire is the perfect combination of superb recoil reduction and limited blast to the shooter. It’s still as obnoxious as any other brake to anyone not directly behind the rifle (and will clean shooting benches two spots away) but to the shooter the recoil reduction feels “free”. Add in the taper mount that makes clocking trivial and has perfect return to zero (convenient when cleaning after every match) and I’ll not choose anything else going forward.
Debra F. (verified owner) –
This is my third muzzle break on three separate calibers. They reduce the felt recoil by 30% and keeps the barrels about as flat as they can get. I’ll be buying more from Area 419.

I purchased a Sidewinder Muzzle Brake a few months ago for my 7MM RM. It was so overwhelmingly successful I decided to purchase a Hellfire Match Muzzle Brake for a new 7MM-08. Both of these products have exceeded my expectations. The felt recoil from both the Magnum and the 08 are less than my .243 with a 100 grain cartridge. If I didn’t experience it myself, I would say it’s unbelievable. But I have… and it’s not… The Hellfire Match also does a great job of quelling the muzzle rise. Well done guys. It is sooo great to have such a tremendously successfully engineered product from a U.S. company. Bravo!

Insane difference! My son and I are avid hunters and plink around the backyard throughout the year. We have friends that are neighbors to the company, and have watched them and their videos/posts over the last couple of years. Having a couple of AR rifles with various brakes, I’ve never noticed a difference in recoil, more noise directional than anything. Hesitant to spend the $200, when it could go towards more ammo…. Wow, pleasantly surprised!! Don’t mind the video language, more for the company than anything, but had to see if it truly made a difference to keep the muzzle down range and easy to get to the next target. The first shot with the brake thread adaptor installed, next with the Hell Fire Match brake installed. Gun: Savage 110 Ultra Lite Hunter.308
Will be ordering others for the various thread sizes and calibers! Thanks Area 419!! Real Deal!!

Todd Stoughton (verified owner) –
This muzzle break is a work of art. I put this on a Ruger RPR 6.5 Creedmoor. My oem break was a nightmare to take off and adjust. I needed to use a big steel bar to get the thing to spin. The Area 419 unit uses a knurled hand tightened collar that doesn’t need tools. What a great idea! Once the break was on the gun it was just a matter of sight adjustments (by hand) to set it in a perfectly clocked orientation to send the gasses at 90 degree angles to the gun. So much easier than the oem break.
Well worth the cost. And it looks awesome in stainless.

I shot my 28 nosler with and without this brake. Wow. What a difference. With the brake I’d compare it to a .308 in regards of felt recoil.

My experience with the Hellfire Match is on my 6GT with 26” Bartlein . Point of impact shifted 1 mil low at 100 yards but man did it tame that rifle and barely moves during shots. Brake is awesome ! I would highly recommend
Simon C. (verified owner) –
Best muzzle device on the market. Wouldn’t chose anyone else.
Terry (verified owner) –
I have one on a .308 and a 30-06 it tamed the recoil down drastically to where you could shoot all day and not have a tender shoulder. I’m going to do two more of my rifles another 30-06 and a 300 rum. I strongly recommend this break.
Roger S. (verified owner) –
Works great, fit and finish are top shelve
Brent Huntsman (verified owner) –
Crazy nice! Easy to install/time. Excellent sight picture retention and that was the overall goal. Yes significant recoil reduction however that wasn’t the goal. Pleasure to shoot and a must try to believe!! Just buy the Hellfire Match as you will be very happy you did!!

I now have 2 Hellfire and 1 Hellfire match brakes. I purchased the Match for a 300 PRC that I am building but haven’t completed the build to test it on, so I tested on my 7 SAUM side by side with my regular Hellfire that I shoot on this rifle regularly.
There wasn’t a lot of noticeable recoil reduction but there was a lot less rifle upset! Meaning that I never lost my sight picture. I’m sure when the 300 PRC build is completed in early 2023 there will be a very noticeable recoil reduction.

So easy to install (for a newb) and looks beautiful.
Kenneth Anderson (verified owner) –
put this break on a 16” ar Odin barrel. Never tuned gas, running pretty hot load and weapon stays on target for follow ups. Intermediate gas may help too. I think I will ask joe Brandon what he’s told to think about this. Thanks.
Chris F. (verified owner) –
Purchased the 30cal version for a lighter weight .308 build intended for hunting, team matches, and NRL Hunter. Really flattens the recoil. Keeping POA on plate (IPSC) at 600yds with 155gr bullets and less than 2mil off plate with 175gr bullets. Both loads fairly warm. Keep in mind this is a 14.5lb setup, not a 20lb+ PRS rig. Super happy with the performance. Will be getting another in 6.5mm for my 25x47L and .257 RobAI.

James Smith (verified owner) –
Nice fit. Reduced recoil substantially.
Steven A. (verified owner) –
I am giving the muzzle brake a rating of 5/5 at this time however I have not shot the rifle with it as of yet. What really turned me on to it is the engineering not only within the brake but also within the attachment fitting. The method of attachment is simple, absolutely solid, and allows the brake to be easily tuned or removed for quick cleaning and reassembly. If I want to transfer the brake to another rifle, I can do it at the cost of purchasing another attachment lug for that other rifle which saves me a ton of money.
Don’t be fooled by other brakes that report loosening over time or by product marketing teams that suggests you need to glue the actual brake to the barrel. That seems ridiculous to me, and it’s a sign that those organizations need to redesign their products.
The 419 brake is clearly engineered better then anything else that I reviewed and the purchase was a no brainer for me. Now all I need to do is to see how it performs at the range.

I tried thee APA Little Bastard but wasn’t happy with the way it mounts. It kept coming loose. So I bought the Hellfire match and I gotta say, WAY better than the APA.

MY DD Delta 5 bolt action came with the Hellfire. I like it much better than what i was using on the AR10 so I thought I give the Hellfire Match a go at it. Nice notable difference over competition. Swapped Hellfire Match over to the Bolt action and compared the Hellfire to the Hellfire Match and liked the Match a bit more ,,,, then purchased another Match. Predictable recoil and muzzle control,, Sound and back wash are less than competition in my opinion. I do like Hellfire and the Hellfire Match

Steve Budak (verified owner) –
Looks great, I just wish it was DLC coated and had a flat milled onto the top so I could time it perfectly. I haven’t used it yet and am keen to see how it performs against my Terminator TT brakes. They have flats milled top and bottom (so timing is easy) and are painted in KG Gunkote (so you can throw them in CLR and they don’t turn pink).
They also have more aggressive port angles and therefore do an amazing job of reducing recoil.
If the Hellfire match is not as good as the Terminator TT, I’ll update my review and go back to the Terminator.
Whilst I like companies that produce great gear and have great customer service, I always base my choices in performance. I read forums but will buy everything I can afford and test it for myself. If it works, it stays. If it doesn’t work, it gets sold, donated or filed in the ‘round filing cabinet’ (bin).
So we will see if the Hellfire match lives up to my expectations. The lack of a flat for timing and the lack of a coating that is impervious to CLR does bug me though.
Time and use will tell.

An Immaculately machined product. Performs as a good brake should and with very little muzzle rise.
Greg (verified owner) –
Awesome product. Reduced my 3006 recoil to a bit more than a 22
Gudni Thor Frimannsson (verified owner) –
Got more than one, so that says it all.

Great unit, replaced an Omni brake that blew dirt and grass into my eyes and mouth and down my shirt with every shot. Very minimal recoil, easy to stay on target.
Craig A. (verified owner) –
Installation is easy. The self timing feature really simplifies the process.
Bart (verified owner) –
Exceptionally easy to install, and tames recoil significantly, even on 230 grain 300 Win Mag loads. Easily as good as the sidewinder brake but with a smaller profile.
Keith F. (verified owner) –
It works better than the original
David H. (verified owner) –
Wow. This thing is fantastic! I took it to a PRS match a few days after I recieved it and I was very impressed. It felt like my gun was barely moving, to the point of where I could take a shot and know for sure it was on target and be moving to the next target before the round even made impact. Well done A419!

Love the Hellfire and the match is all that and more. You won’t be disappointed.

This does a great job in reducing recoil.
Kyle C. (verified owner) –
One of the best fitting easiest to use muzzle devices on the market
Donald T. (verified owner) –
Fit and finish were better than excellent…..absolutely superb/flawless. When you order the BEST, this is what you can expect in the Hellfire Match.
Joseph H. (verified owner) –
The brake works exactly as advertised. It mounts easily, times and tightens without slipping, and it reduces felt recoil really well without blasting the shooter. I look forward to trying the suppressor adapters in the future.

Ordered on Friday at noon, and by noon the following Tuesday was installed on my Daniel Defense Delta 5. Fast shipping. Despite having not used it, after numerous reviews I am confident I made the right choice. Thanks Area 419!

Muzzle break works great. Installed on 6.5 Creedmore. Very easy to install and remove for cleaning. Going to definitely buy a couple more for some other rifles.
David C. (verified owner) –
Replaced an existing Muzzle Break with the new Hellfire Match Self-Timing Muzzle Brake hoping for reduction in muzzle flip and felt recoil. It does both very pleased with my purchase.
Matt (verified owner) –
Great recoil reduction and minimal concussion at the shooter

Very nice brake, easy to remove, has a edge over the last generation.

Everything else was fine but this equipment and it’s design is outstanding. I have a Hellfire on my Vudoo as well as this Hellfire Match, both are great. I bought the Omega can adapter and switch out is, well, fast. Both look clean when installed. Keep up the good work. I will be back for more.

This website transaction and delivery was excellent as has been all transactions I have had with Area 419. The Hellfire, uni adapter, and suppressor mount are just works of machining art…again, like all 419 products I have bought.
I def will do business with them again and I’m very pleased with this brake/adapter purchase.
Ryan (verified owner) –
Best brake in the business. I loved it so much I replaced a regular hellfire with another match after shooting this one.
Mervyn (verified owner) –

Easy to install. Works very well.

I’m glad I don’t own anymore rifles that need a brake. Although I may try to sell the other brakes I have on current rifles and replace them all with hellfire matches. 🤔🤣
Neil H. (verified owner) –
Outstanding fit and finish… This is the 7th Area419 brake I’ve purchased… That should tell you all you need to know…
Chad –
Absolutely everything i want in a brake. The lack of muzzle blast and sound at the shooters ear is amazing. Recoil is virtually nothing on my 6.5 Creed PRS rifle.
Steve (verified owner) –
Fit and finish are flawless. Offers a significant reduction in felt recoil over a competitors 4 port brake. My 6.5 PRC feels like a .223 now.
Charles F. (verified owner) –
I have an earlier version on my muzzle loader which they bored out to accept a .45. None better.
Erik Hansen (verified owner) –
Easy to install, noticeable improvement in recoil reduction.
Justin P. (verified owner) –
It made my 14lbs rifle shoot softer than my 19lbs rifle with a competitive company’s brake. I am curious to see how well it will do on the heavier rifle?
Keith S. (verified owner) –
Love the Hellfire brakes. Have many; only ones I use. This is my first Match brake and it performs better.
Zackary D. (verified owner) –
Works great as expected! Both my 6.5 creed and 6bra have greatly reduced recoil.

Great improvement over standard Hellfire. I shoot 6mm creedmoor and noticed right off definitely helps with the recoil. Also easier on the shooter. Does everything they said it would. I love it

It’s kind of amazing what this does. Makes my Ruger PR 6.5 CM feel like my 22 rifle. The lack of recoil improves every aspect of my target shooting – great product!!!
