Cadex Defence MX2 ST Self-Timing Tactical Muzzle Brake .33 Caliber 5/8x24 - Black - 3850228STBLK - UPC: 0842940100460

Product Description

The Cadex Defence 3850228STBLK MX2 ST (Self-Timing) is a high-efficiency tactical muzzle brake engineered specifically for precision rifles chambered in .33 caliber cartridges (such as .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Norma Magnum, and .300/.338 cross-over platforms) featuring a standard 5/8x24 barrel thread pitch. Machined from premium 416 stainless steel with a matte black finish, this muzzle device is designed to dramatically mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise, enabling shooters to maintain sight picture and spot trace on long-range targets.

Featuring a multi-port baffle layout angled to redirect high-pressure propellant gases laterally and backward, the MX2 ST effectively neutralizes backward recoil forces. The integrated self-timing design utilizes a knurled lock nut system that allows armorers and precision shooters to clock and level the brake ports accurately without requiring crush washers, peel washers, or custom shims. Measuring 0.865 inches in outer diameter at the taper, it blends smoothly with standard heavy tactical barrel contours.

Engineered to handle severe gas volume and chamber pressures associated with Magnum .33 caliber loadings, the MX2 ST also incorporates external threads for seamless attachment of compatible Cadex suppressor sleeve accessories or blast deflectors where permitted.

*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Caliber & Barrel Thread Compatibility Matrix:
• Primary Fitment: .33 Caliber rifles (.338 Lapua Mag, .338 Norma Mag, .338 Federal, .300 Win Mag / .30 Cal with clearance) with 5/8x24 TPI muzzle threads.
• Profile Match: 0.865-inch rear diameter matches medium-to-heavy tactical barrel contours.

Self-Timing Installation Steps:
1. Clean barrel muzzle threads thoroughly and ensure no debris or threadlocker remains.
2. Thread the lock nut onto the 5/8x24 barrel threads all the way back against the barrel shoulder.
3. Thread the MX2 brake body onto the barrel until it contacts the lock nut, backing it off slightly to level the side ports horizontally.
4. Hold the brake body perfectly level using an armorers wrench while tightening the lock nut back against the brake body to 30–35 ft-lbs of torque.
