Muzzle brakes and flash suppressors

Muzzle brakes, compensators and flash hiders

Muzzle devices reduce recoil, muzzle climb, or muzzle flash, depending on the design. The collection includes muzzle brakes and compensators for AR15, AR10, and AK rifles, compensators for pistols like Glock, flash hiders, and suppressor adapters from brands such as Surefire, Strike Industries, Toni System, ZEV Technologies, Angstadt Arms, and Aero Precision.

How to choose

• Thread pitch: must match the barrel's, for example 1/2x28 for .223/5.56 and 5/8x24 for .308 on ARs, or 13.5x1 LH for some pistols.
• Caliber: the device's bore must be suitable for the firearm's caliber.
• Function: the muzzle brake reduces recoil but increases noise and lateral air blast; the flash hider reduces flash without affecting recoil.
• Mounting: some devices require shims or timing nuts for proper alignment.
