The TacFire Nitrided Compact Compensator (brand part number MZ1002N) is a compensator sized for .223/5.56mm rifles and threaded 1/2×28 to fit standard AR-15 barrels. Built from all-steel construction and finished in a heat-treated, erosion-resistant black Nitride coating, it’s made in the USA for shooters who want a durable, low-profile muzzle device. Once installed, it helps reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, keeping the sight picture on target for faster follow-up shots. Its compact size adds minimal length to the muzzle, making it a practical upgrade for a carbine or SBR-length build without changing the rifle’s overall handling.
