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). It is inexpensive, and does a decent job
of what's asked of it. 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. The flash, noise and concussion they
produce are the result and byproduct of reducing the felt recoil
(brakes) and keeping the muzzle down (comps).
Threaded for
1/2x28, precision machined from solid 4130 or 4140 steel bar stock and
black nitrided, it is probably the finest A2 style comp/flash suppressor
ever produced. 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. 6315 is compatible
with M16 BFA and most A2 mounted sound suppressors.
Note that since 6315 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.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. 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 :)
6315 is a light (2.12oz) and
short blended performance muzzle device. 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
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. 6315 is a part of Forward Controls' x15 muzzle device
series.
Be considerate to fellow shooters next to you, use a flash suppressor :)Your
shooting buddies will enjoy shooting next to you much more once you
replace the brake or comp with something that won't remind them of their
days in artillery, that it also agitates the snowflakes is priceless.
A
crush washer is included. Optional Precision Armament 1/2x28
Accu-Washer, PWS shims kit, or Surefire shims kit is available (please
see drop down menu).
Proudly designed and made in USA.
CAUTION!
6315
has wrench flats for torquing it on the barrel. Do not use a
screwdriver and insert it into one of its ports to torque it. With 30ft
lbs of torque, using a rod or screw driver will cause damage to the
muzzle device.
Screw driver not included (but seriously, use a 3/4 wrench, armorer's wrench, or JMW, not a screw driver.)
