The TacFire Linear Compensator in .308 (brand part no. MZ1020-3B) redirects muzzle blast and concussion downrange instead of out to the sides, making it a smart choice for shooters on a line who want to keep noise and pressure away from their neighbors. Built from steel and threaded 5/8×24 for standard .308/7.62 AR-platform barrels, this compensator uses six vent ports to manage blast direction without adding a traditional muzzle brake’s side signature. At just 2.26 inches long and 3.5 ounces, it adds minimal length or weight to the muzzle. TacFire builds it in the USA for AR-10-pattern rifles and pistol builds alike.
