![]() The number 63 in its name pays homage to the Stoner 63 light machine gun, the shape of its ports draws heavily from the Stoner 63 LMG's flash suppressor design. It provides 15 to 20% better muzzle rise compensation than the A2, and what is impressive is that it does so without sacrificing its flash suppression capabilities, or creating more noise and concussion. The wire cutter notches will probably earn us some flak and endless ribbing about having to cut wires at the range while punching holes on paper, but we always design combat features into our products, they're there, you don't have to use them :)Ħ315KM-L is a light, blended performance muzzle device. Since we now have more room in front of the 3 and 9 o'clock ports, we incorporated wire cutter alignment notches ahead of these ports. Note that since 6315KM -L does have flash suppression capability equal to that of an A2, it is to be treated as a flash suppressor for states that feel threatened by them, such as CA, MA and NY. 6315KM-L is compatible with Dead Air 5.56mm sound suppressors. Its 3 and 9 o'clock ports are 25% smaller (shorter and narrower) than the other three upward facing ports so more gas is vented through the upward facing ports, it is a superior compensator to the A2, its flash suppression is equal to that of an A2. Threaded for 1/2x28, precision machined from solid 4140 steel bar stock, heat treated and QPQ coated, it is probably the finest A2 style comp/flash suppressor ever produced. The flash, noise and concussion they produce are the result and byproduct of reducing the felt recoil (brakes) and keeping the muzzle down (comps). We went through a phase of expensive and fancy brakes and comps, all of them have worked well but we know they're not practical for defense/duty ARs. It is inexpensive, and does a decent job of what's asked of it. Of course, to what degree depends on each manufacturer’s design.We are a big fan of the A2 flash suppressor / compensator (compensator is the Army TM 9-1005-319-23&P, Air Force TO 11W3-5-5-42, Navy SW370-BU-MMI-010 designation). They are designed to interfere with how your muzzle brake works when not covered, so be aware that they probably will affect your rifle’s feel and performance. Remember, these devices are primarily made to keep blast debris and forces away from your shooting partners and not necessarily to enhance your rifle’s shootability. They interface with a compatible muzzle brake and are usually installed via a quick-attach system proprietary to the particular device’s manufacturer. These blast control devices are attached much in the same way as a silencer. ![]() Fire, smoke, carbon junk and even some of the sound is projected forward and not to the sides or back toward the shooter or his or her neighbors. In fact, this category is so new that there isn’t even a uniform name for them yet, and they’ve been called everything from “blast mitigation devices” to “blast shields.” The devices attach to muzzle brakes and generally throw a rifle’s blast and everything that goes with it in a uniform direction. ![]() One of the hottest new accessories on the market today is the muzzle blast control device. If sound suppressors are not an option to help you tame that blast, there is another solution, though. Silencers are good to help mute this sound and blast, but unfortunately they’re not available in every situation. The overload of concussive forces and sound from muzzle blasts is even worse for duty personnel who may find themselves in life-and-death situations and have to move and shoot with a team in everything from small rooms and cargo holds in seafaring freighters to underground tunnels. It’s especially unpleasant when you’re stuck between two shooters, each with monster brakes that feel like they’re competing to see which can collapse your lungs first.
