Best Ar-15 Muzzle Devices

However, here is our pick of the best muzzle brakes, best announcers, best flash hiders and best hybrid muzzle devices. My favorite AR-15 muzzle device is Precision Armament’s AFAB-556 hybrid muzzle brake. The Precision Armament AR-15 Gamma 556 muzzle brake is a great muzzle brake that doesn’t add much weight to the front of the barrel and is short enough to reduce the chance of hitting the gears. VG6 Precision – Range 65 6.5 Creedmoor Muzzle Brake This muzzle device, like most VG6 products, is an exceptionally well made brake, made from high quality materials at a really affordable price.

While the Precision Armament AR-15 Gamma 556 muzzle brake is primarily used as a muzzle brake to eliminate recoil, its top-perforated design reduces muzzle lift, which also makes it a good compensator. Constructed from 17-4 ph heat treated stainless steel and coated with black nitride, the VG6 Precision VG6 Precision GAMMA muzzle brake uses a unique offset top vent system to reduce muzzle rise. The innovative reverse vent design reduces recoil and recoil by eliminating the oversized muzzle.

The two-stage side ports also help reduce recoil effectively, while the radial cutouts around the front help reduce muzzle flash significantly. The large gas ports on the side of the Dragon not only stabilize the weapon’s horizontal position, but the upper ports also counteract the rise of the barrel. The large gas ports on the Dragon stabilize the gunners’ muzzle in a horizontal position.

Featuring a three-loop design that creates ports in slots 12 and 3, it helps control muzzle extension and also includes snuff flare reduction. Provides excellent control over your muzzle and effectively hides glare.

It not only looks good, but also weighs several times less than its steel counterparts. Because it’s not made of steel or titanium, there are a number of subtleties to its construction that you won’t find anywhere else. Most of the high-tech muzzle device belongs to the Nero 556 with its 3D printed inconel design that draws attention, doesn’t shatter your eardrums, and gives you tremendous downward power. Goldilocks’ best muzzle device goes to the Strike Industries J-Comp V2, as it has excellent recoil reduction, perhaps the ability to hide flash, and decently reduced reticle movement.

It is shorter than most, cheaper than the competition, has a beautiful narrow profile and features an innovative triple baffle design with reverse venting for the highest recoil reduction in its class. Their M4-72 model also features a closed bottom design combined with an upward sloping vent that effectively eliminates the enlarged muzzle and any traces of dust. This particular design includes a compression washer for installation and this muzzle assembly is optimized for high performance with barrels from 14.5″ to 20″. The Precision Armament is one of the cheapest muzzle brakes on the market, but has the same performance as the more expensive ones (such as the Precision Armament Hypertap).

Constructed from 416 stainless steel and finished with a stainless steel sandblast or black Ionbond finish, the Hypertap Precision Armament is designed to put an end to harsh recoil and annoying muzzle lift. Precision Weapons – AR-15 M4-72 22 caliber DLC Heavy Duty Compensator CMMG SV Brake Compensator – The CMMG SV muzzle compensator is an efficient single port brake designed specifically for AR-15 rifles. Muzzle Brake Adapter and Silencer The key-mounted muzzle brake for dead air cocking works surprisingly well for a dual purpose hatch device.

If you’re a hunting enthusiast, you’re probably best off with a muzzle device that dampens recoil and vertical lift. If you are looking for the best budget recoil reducing muzzle device, get the M4-72. The good news is that most choke tubes are hybrid so you get a brake, compensator and fire extinguisher.

You’ll notice that most of these options are actually mixed, although some devices serve specific purposes. Then, we’ll show you the best devices on the market so you can start looking for some great options. We’ll cover the best options for all of these device types, but first, let’s take a quick look at the pros and cons of each. The first is the Forward Controls Designs muzzle mount, the 6315 is their 1/2×28 version, and the 6310 is their 5/8×24 version, both available in standard or KeyMo mounting options.

The Sons of Liberty Gun Works NOX is a KeyMo holder that combines some of the functions of a flash suppressor and some of the functions of a brake. Both offer a small throttle opening to help enlarge the muzzle as well as reduce flash signature, essentially offering some both brake and cover. The default A2 flash hider used by the military, which is used as the default muzzle device on most AR-15s, also works as a compensator as holes in the top of the device push the barrel down.

Thanks to the way the vents are cut out, the M4-72 offers some of the best recoil reduction you can find while keeping the overall brake size very low. The Lantac Dragon’s muzzle brake also works to provide improved fully automatic firing capabilities and ultra-fast mitigation of muzzle blast gases resulting in a reduced flash signature.

The Rainier Arms Flash Suppressor is designed for flash firing to preserve shooters’ night vision by drawing gases away from the shooter’s line of sight and reducing the visibility of the flash to the enemy. The 2A Armament T3 compressor is designed to reduce muzzle tilt after firing and can improve accuracy and speed of subsequent shots. Strike Industries JCOMP Gen2 – Like the King Comp, the Strike Industries JCOMP Gen2 can be considered a hybrid due to its dual chamber design that helps control recoil.
