The Midwest Industries Blast Diverter (brand part number MI-PBD) is a blast diverter built to direct muzzle blast forward, a linear compensator design built with AR pistols and short barrel rifles in mind. Midwest Industries machines the blast diverter from black phosphate steel and threads it 1/2-28 tpi for standard 5.56x45mm NATO and .223 Remington AR-platform barrels. At 1.75-Inch overall length and 1.09-Inch in diameter, it’s sized to stay compact on a pistol-length or short-barreled build.
