Recoil reduction

Two systems. One goal:
keep the sight picture.

It does not matter whether you are a beginner, a competitor or a seasoned operator. Whether you are doing CQB or reaching out to a long-range target, staying on the gun between shots is what decides the string.

Alpha Recoil Reduction System

The Alpha

Small frame, AR-15Starts at $300

Large frame, AR-10Starts at $350

As the name suggests, this is an entire system rather than a single component. We carefully regulate the gas, lighten the operating system, and fine-tune everything so the rifle functions like a mil-spec gun with much less recoil.

The final step is adding the muzzle brake that works best on your rig, visually and functionally. After the brake goes on, your build goes to the range for more fine-tuning and test firing, so what ships back is the flattest, least-recoiling version of your rifle possible.

Every operating system we build with the Alpha is customized individually. A 5.56 shoots like a .22 LR. A .308 recoils like a .223.

Triskelion Recoil Reduction System

The next generation

All platformsStarts at $600

Triskelion is a revolutionary approach that keeps every attribute of the Alpha and takes it a step further. It incorporates a design that all but eliminates the feel of the buffer bottoming out on the buffer tube — in practice it seems as though it never bottoms out at all.

Installing it will make your rifle the flattest and smoothest shooting rifle available on the market today. Either system can be the finishing element on a custom Man O' War build, or a serious upgrade to a rifle you already own.
