Q Cherry Bomb Muzzle Device 5 8X24 762MM Fits Q Suppressors CB 5 8 24 UPC 866955000376
Product Description
The Q® Cherry Bomb Muzzle Brake – 5/8x24 TPI / 7.62mm (MPN: CB-5/8-24 / SKU: CB5824 / UPC: 866955000376) is a lightweight, high-efficiency Quickie Fast-Attach™ suppressor mount and omnidirectional muzzle brake engineered for .30 caliber and 6.5mm rifles. Designed to anchor Q® Trash Panda, Thunder Chicken, and Plan-B™ equipped suppressors, the Cherry Bomb delivers repeatable taper-lock alignment without adding unnecessary front-end length or weight.
Precision CNC-machined from heat-treated 17-4 PH stainless steel, the Cherry Bomb doubles as a sacrificial blast baffle that absorbs high-pressure propellant erosion during heavy firing schedules. Its 360-degree radial port pattern disperses muzzle gases evenly to mitigate recoil and muzzle climb while eliminating the need for timing shims, peel washers, or indexing alignment during installation.
At the heart of the system is Q's precision external taper-mount interface, which seals gas forward of the mounting threads to eliminate carbon lock even after hundreds of suppressed rounds. A 1/2-inch hex socket drive machined directly into the front nose allows effortless installation and removal using a standard 1/2-inch socket wrench—making it ideal for tucked or recessed handguard configurations where external wrench flats cannot be reached.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Fits barrels threaded 5/8"-24 TPI in calibers up to .308 Win / 7.62x51mm NATO (including .300 BLK and 6.5 Creedmoor), interfacing directly with Q® Trash Panda, Thunder Chicken, Jumbo Shrimp, Porq Chop, and 1.375"-24 HUB suppressors running a Q Plan-B™ or compatible taper mount. CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: NEVER use a crush washer or peel washer behind a suppressor mount—uneven compression causes severe axial misalignment and baffle strikes. Mount directly against a clean 90-degree barrel shoulder or 25-degree Sig taper shoulder, torque to 25–30 ft-lbs using the 1/2" front hex drive, and verify concentricity with a .30 caliber alignment rod before live fire.
- Verify the host firearm is completely unloaded: remove the magazine, lock the bolt to the rear, and visually and physically inspect the chamber to confirm zero ammunition is present.
- Thoroughly degrease both the barrel's 5/8"-24 muzzle threads, the barrel shoulder, and the internal threads of the Cherry Bomb using acetone or non-chlorinated brake cleaner.
- Apply two small drops of high-temperature threadlocker (Rocksett™) to the clean muzzle threads—avoiding any excess that could migrate onto the external suppressor taper—and thread the Cherry Bomb hand-tight directly against the barrel shoulder with zero washers or shims.
- Insert a clean 1/2" socket driver into the front hex socket of the Cherry Bomb and torque to 25–30 ft-lbs while securing the barrel in proper aluminum barrel vise jaws.
- Allow Rocksett™ to cure for 24 hours, install your Q® or Plan-B™ suppressor hand-tight onto the taper mount, and verify bore-to-baffle concentricity with a precision .30 caliber alignment rod before firing.
Key Features
- 360-Degree Radial Muzzle Brake: Omnidirectional port array reduces recoil and muzzle jump without requiring timing shims or indexing alignment.
- Taper-Lock Suppressor Interface: Precision external taper seals hot propellant gases away from the mounting threads to prevent carbon lock and preserve repeatable zero.
- Heat-Treated 17-4 PH Stainless Steel: High-strength stainless construction resists extreme thermal cycling and acts as a sacrificial first baffle for your suppressor.
- Front 1/2" Hex Socket Drive: Machined nose drive accommodates a standard 1/2" socket wrench for hassle-free torque installation inside recessed handguards.
- Dual Barrel-Shoulder Compatibility: Internally contoured to seat securely on both standard 90-degree square shoulders and 25-degree tapered barrel profiles.
- Ultralight Compact Footprint: Adds minimal length and weight (2.0 oz) to precision bolt guns, AR-10s, and .300 Blackout SBRs.
