The T51R Billeted Brake muzzle increases vertical recoil control, firing aim stability, and gun kick control making it easier to land shots across the map. The Hightower 20" increases bullet velocity, bullet range, recoil control, and hip fire accuracy.

The Bruen Heavy Support Grip underbarrel increases gun kick control, aiming idle sway, horizontal recoil, and firing aim stability.
