The TacFire linear compensator for .223/5.56 (brand part no. MZ1020) is a muzzle device that screws onto 1/2×28 barrels. TacFire machines it from steel with a black nitride finish and gives it a six-port design that redirects sound and concussion away from the shooter and downrange. It suits AR pistol builds and short-barrel rifles chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO. The linear design pushes blast forward instead of venting it to the sides, which makes the firing line more comfortable. It is made in the USA.
