The Midwest Industries Blast Can (brand part number MI-BC762) is a black steel muzzle device built for .30 caliber AR-platform rifles, threaded for the common 5/8-24 pattern. Midwest Industries classifies this piece as a blast diverter, meaning it’s built to redirect muzzle blast forward and away from the shooter rather than to reduce recoil or flash the way a brake or comp does. Its steel construction stands up to the heat and pressure at the muzzle, and the black finish matches most .30 caliber AR builds. It’s a straightforward way to keep concussion off the shooter’s position, particularly useful in suppressor-adjacent or close-quarters training environments.
