![]() It’s not only efficient at controlling muzzle rise, but has no more flash than a standard A2 Flash Hider. While billed as a Compensator, it truly crosses muzzle device categories and creates a category of its own. Now that you understand the traditional differences of the two types of muzzle devices, let’s talk about the BattleComp Compensator. By reducing rise and recoil, you’re in turn increasing flash, muzzle blast and noise. This traditionally comes with a cost though. Just as a Flash Hider vents gasses away from the muzzle, the Compensator is able to vent these gasses more efficiently, thus reducing muzzle rise and recoil. To control muzzle rise and recoil, a Muzzle Brake or Compensator can be used. While the most common muzzle device, the one thing a Flash Hider doesn’t do is control muzzle rise. That is unless you’re going urban prone (i.e. This dispersion is to reduce the signature of the flash and with hiders that have a sealed bottom, to alleviate any dust signature. The purpose of a Flash Hider (also known as a Flash Suppressor) is to vent gasses away from the muzzle and disperse them. This is the standard and most likely what you’ll get when you purchase a pre-built upper or complete rifle. There are quite a few different choices out there when it comes to selecting a muzzle device, it all comes down to personal preference and what characteristic you care the most about. ![]() Let’s get into the next step in your AR-15 build! What’s the Difference? While simply threading and properly torquing the compensator might not seem like that big of a deal, we ran into an interesting issue that we wanted to share. To further comply, we’ll be permanently attaching the BattleComp in an upcoming article, but first let’s walk through the installation steps. In lieu of the standard A2 style “Birdcage” Flash Hider, we’ll be installing the BattleComp 1.5″ Compensator to bring our barrel length to 16.1″ and comply with the National Firearms Act. The installation steps are virtually the same and we’ll get into detail on what the differences are between a Muzzle Brake, Flash Hider, Compensator and even a Flash Suppressor. We won’t technically be installing a Flash Hider, but the BattleComp 1.5 Compensator. ![]() Today in our fifth installment of the DIY AR-15 Build Upper, we’ll be installing the Flash Hider.
