I need to find me a new muzzle device. I was running my AR with thread protector, but I want to upgrade. I'm currently looking at a linear comp or A2 with a closed end. I like the looks of the Kaw Valley Linear Comp, but is that considered a Flash Hider? The end of the comp has a shroud going over it. Also how gtg am I with an A2 with a closed end? I see them for 10 dollars on ebay. I live in the Bay Area (Castro Valley) so I want to be 100% sure that I can't get fudged up the ass.
The description of the closed A2 on ebay says that it will work for compliance.  Attached File |

Buy the compensator in the AR15.com store. Don't buy a muzzle device that you don't know who made, where it's made it or how it's advertised. The ones in the site store are without a doubt compensators and not flash suppressor. That's the best advice I can give you.

Is the muzzle end constricted in some way to act like a baffle?

Yes Trollslayer. There's just a 5.56MM hole on the end of the device it's not a conical opening.

I've been eyeballing this compensator. I'll let others chime in to discuss... https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/350291/IMG-3512-236015.JPG |

To each, his own.
I would say that if it isn't the military M16-style flash suppressor, especially if it says it's a muzzle brake or a compensator on the manufacturer's web site, you are okay. Why you really need either on a 223 is beyond me but it's up to you if those extra milliseconds are worth it. Plus, I hate muzzle brakes and comps, as they increase the noise level for everyone well beyond reason. I suspect this is why they are banned from NRA and CMP competitions. Still, all mine are plain muzzles so they surely qualify as featureless. |
