But the recoil is so reduced it is like shoot a 22 (in my case a very heavy 22). You see the analogy “it shoots like a 22LR ” well not quite just because it so much louder. Okay, so I pop my bipod off and do a mag dump. The Apollo Max calmed the rifle down to the point I didn’t have to find the sweet spot because the rifle barley moved. It was hoping all over the place and having major issues getting back to that sweet spot of the scope where your eye relief is perfect. No Hype-no BS -My IWI Galil Ace Gen 2 is like a new gun. I will be putting there products on all my future builds/projects! I am so happy with everything I mean i really can’t tell you in words how great this company and the Apollo Max 7.62 truly is. They had the right break in my hands 2 days later and I also called Parker and he answered the phone right away, super nice dude and very informative he went over the process of how the came up with the best break ever, and after finally getting out to the range today it truly shows, it made my scar 17 almost like I was shooting a 22lr. I emailed them late Monday night and by the time I woke up on Tuesday Parker had already replied, and not only did he reply he sent out the right break that day with a shipping label the send the wrong one back. I’d put one on my 22″ loaded model tomorrow if they made one.īest muzzle break and company ever! First off they sent me the apollo max 5.56, I ordered the apollo max 7.62, my first thought when I realized this was “s***, I’ll probably never get intouch with them and be screwed out of my money”. I just wished Ultradyne made this brake for an M1A. So I am usually banished to the far end of the range, down there where all the ‘loud’ rifles are.Īll in all this brake is worth every penny and then some. That might not sound like much, but it’s a country mile when you’re shooting at eggs handing in little string baskets at 500 yards. Also, before the brake was added, my groups at 500 yds were 1-1/4, so accuracy was improved by. The Apollo Max reduced felt recoil by about 50%, but your shoulder might tell you otherwise. Shooting Hornady ELD-M 168gr SMK rounds, I’ve dialed that little rifle in to groups of 3 you can cover with a quarter at 500 yards.

The optic is a Primary Arms 4x14x44 FFP with the ACSS HUD reticle designed for the 168gr. I’m one year in, at a round count of 850, with a PSA AR-10 fitted with a Krieger match barrel.

The Apollo Max is 100% what they say it is and does. I like to give the product a workout, to see if it’s all it has been claimed to be. I don’t like to review anything new and just out of the box.

For example, the RGP on a traditional M4 16” barrel with a combat forearm equipped with an Apollo Max will bypass a 5’9” shooter totally, however the RGP on a gun that is equipped with a fully extended hand guard and 20” barrel could possibly impact the arm of a 6’6” shooter that uses a fully extended arm style grip. With this being said, it is important for the shooter to understand their proximity to the Muzzle Device itself and determine if the RGP will cause problems. Ultradyne offers different Muzzle Devices that redirect gases at varying angles to provide a muzzle device option for every shooter. Atmospheric pressure, temperature and elevation also effect powder burn and expanding gas effects in the RGP. It is important to understand that RGP is not accurately definable as different ammunition using the exact same firearm/Muzzle Device combination will vary.

Many high performance Muzzle Devices can turn gas at an extreme angle rearward and the shooter must be comfortable that body parts are positioned on the firearm so not to be negatively impacted. The more gas volume that is redirected the higher the performance of the Muzzle Device. RGP direction and volume are determined by the Muzzle Device ports.
