They are specifically designed to redirect gasses and pressure in a forward direction for the purpose of reducing perceived sound and concussion from the sides of the shooter. Linear Muzzle Devices are a specialized type of compensator.

Linear Compensator - Think "Buddy Friendly". Since overall control of the weapon is increased, muzzle compensators make accurate rapid shooting much easier to accomplish. Reduced muzzle climb means the weapon is kept closer on target after firing and accurate follow up shots are easier to achieve. This rise reduction is achieved by directing gases from the muzzle upward. Muzzle Compensator - A compensator is essential to competitive shooting and is designed primarily to improve follow up shot accuracy by reducing muzzle rise (also known as muzzle climb). These devices are particularly useful on larger calibers like the Barrett M82. Muzzle brakes are also helpful for competitive shooting by allowing faster multi target acquisitions and improved follow up shot accuracy. These devices redirect high pressure gases to the side, the rear, or a combination to achieve better weapon control and comfort while shooting. Muzzle Brake - A muzzle brake is designed to reduce recoil on the shooter's shoulder. This preserves the shooter's night vision, reduces optical obstruction via blast, and is also tactically essential in concealing the shooter’s position. Each device we carry is CATEGORIZED and RATED to make choosing the "perfect" device EASY! We also have one device in each category with our special “Bang for the Buck” Identifier, this establishes our Staff Choice for BEST VALUE and performance in each class.įlash Hider - A flash hider (also known as flash suppressor), prioritizes design to vent gases in a manner which mixes leftover powder in the surrounding air in a manner to greatly reduce or eliminate muzzle flash. Having a selection of muzzle devices allows you to have a flexible "toolbox" of choices for your situational needs without requiring a specialized weapon. The best flash hider is NOT the best muzzle brake.

#AR A2 FLASH HIDER 2 IN FULL#
It will turn a full 360 degrees and then some before you bottom it out tightening and loosening it.Muzzle Devices are highly engineered tools designed for one or more purposes. Torque, loosen, torque, loosen, repeat until it lines up. One or maybe both of these uppers will be wearing a QD flash hider for a suppressor before next year. Is this ok to do? Or should I just wait until i get my secound barrel and see how it fits? Or should I just go ahead and return it for a new one?Īnd I'm using A2s because they are cheap. The only way I could get the second one to be top up was if I used two crush washers together. I played with both of the flash hiders trying to figure this out. The other flash hider seemed to be threaded up side down(?). One flash hiders seemed to be just fine with one crush washer on. I was pre fitting some parts together to see how somethings looked together. I ordered two A2 flash hiders(same brand) from the same company. I have all my parts now but 1 barrel that should be here next week.
