Build history on GunPartPicker
Builders on GunPartPicker first added the YHM 1/2-28 Muzzle Brake, 5.56 - YHM-5M2-QD to a build in February 2026. Builds with this muzzle device are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (78%, then .223 Wylde 22%), mostly on mid-length gas (71%, then carbine-length 14%), and nearly all AR-15.
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today the one retailer we track has it in stock. Prices barely moved in August 2026, holding around $99.99, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $110.99 at Palmetto State Armory, above August's low of $99.99, so a better deal may come back.
