Engineered for Tikka’s Tactical Platform

The Tikka CTR Muzzle Brake is a factory-engineered recoil management solution designed specifically for Tikka’s popular Compact Tactical Rifle (CTR) platform, as well as the TAC A1 and UPR models . CNC-machined from high-grade steel and finished in matte black, this muzzle brake maintains the professional aesthetic of your Tikka while delivering serious functional benefits. The 5/8-24 direct thread pattern fits factory-threaded CTR barrels perfectly, requiring no adapters or gunsmithing . Whether you’re shooting .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, or .300 Win Mag, the large side and top ports redirect propellant gases to significantly reduce both rearward recoil and muzzle climb . The asymmetrical port design offers an additional advantage — when firing from the prone position, gases are directed away from the ground, minimizing dust and debris kick-up that can obscure your sight picture .

Real-World Performance on the Range

CTR owners report up to 50% less felt recoil after installing this muzzle brake, transforming the shooting experience . Follow-up shots become noticeably faster as the rifle stays flatter and returns to target more quickly . One verified buyer noted: “Great fit, great finish and reduces recoil quite noticeably” . Another shooter commented: “The brake was easy to attach to the CTR rifle. It significantly reduced the recoil” . The trade-off, as with most effective brakes, is increased noise — the redirected gas produces a sharper report that makes hearing protection absolutely mandatory . For range use, competition shooting, or tactical training, this is a non-issue, but hunters should be aware that a moderator (suppressor) may be better suited for field use where hearing protection isn’t always practical . Installation is straightforward — simply remove the thread protector, hand-tighten the brake onto your 5/8-24 barrel, index the top ports to 12 o’clock, and secure with a wrench.

Why Choose the Tikka Factory Brake for Your CTR

At Tikka Rifles USA, we recommend the factory muzzle brake for CTR owners who want guaranteed compatibility and performance. Unlike universal aftermarket brakes that may require timing shims or crush washers, this Tikka brake is designed specifically for the CTR’s barrel profile and thread specifications. The steel construction and matte black finish resist corrosion and match your rifle’s factory appearance . Routine maintenance is simple — soak the brake in carbon solvent, clean with a brass brush, and apply a small amount of anti-seize to the 5/8-24 threads before reinstalling. The 5/8-24 thread pattern is also industry standard, meaning you can easily swap between this brake and most suppressors depending on your shooting application . Whether you’re a competitive shooter logging hundreds of rounds per week or a tactical enthusiast wanting to maximize your CTR’s potential, this factory muzzle brake delivers professional-grade performance.
