Hey another muzzle device thread!

It looks like they took the Griffin Armament M4SD II and added tines on the end.
Gimmick or does this show promise? And has anyone tried one?

VIP3R please, the new Z-comp and BCM comp is enough already to ponder on! ;)

I am with Griffin so take it for what it is, but we found in a test with m855 on a 16" barrel it basically cut all visible forward flash off of the tactical compensator without enhancing vertical flash spread associated with tactical compensators of this style. For some reason it is still visible through gen3 night vision. There must have been some very faint light there. I shot it back to back 3 times as I thought my eyes were deceiving me. It was weird. No visible forward flash, but through night vision it is still somewhat there.
If i had to estimate I would say a roughly 40% lower flash signature over the regular A2 dimensioned device.
This can be seen in the following flash test gallery:

Thanks, happy shooting.
We need to build a .223 Gatling gun to test all of the devices at once. :cool:
I'm very interested in this comp also. Great price on AIM. It seems like a great idea, with the short prongs on the end. I'll have to pin mine to a 14.5", so I'd like to choose one with the least concussion. I'd like to try the bcm but waiting for them to release it is another thing. Im ready to drop the cash on this or the Battlecomp, just to get my rifle done and go shoot...
Dirknar, We made various prototypes and basically compromised with this length as it works effectively on the most prevalent barrels on the market 14.5"+ without being grossly long. The longer tined prototypes worked better on shorter guns but were just a bit too long OAL. I believe there is a limit of length in a muzzle device that the market would tolerate.
Concussion is no more than that of the M4SD Tactical Compensator or a Battle Comp. I have never really seen concussion as much of a problem unless shooting roll over prone with a two port brake on sand or fine dirt. Shooting an M107 inside a small room is another matter entirely.
I have not metered it yet for noise but I intend on doing it next time I go to the range. I think it will be a few DB's higher as is common with muzzle devices. Nothing out of the ordinary though. Much quieter and less concussive than a PWS or our two port brake (my personal favorite device). The flash comp excels on 14.5" and longer barrels. It is not a great short barrel performer. Flash on short barrels is similar to that of a BC or our m4sd tactical comp. Really the only thing I have seen that does well for flash on short barrels, is dedicated aftermarket flash hiders. We offer one, but basically only as a courtesy to suppressor customers that might want a durable FH for use inside a can instead of a comp.
In my opinion muzzle control is better than that of the M4SD tactical comp or the BC offerings. That is my opinion though, so take it for what it is worth.
We will be submitting them to some notable reviewers in the next week or so, as well as submitting them to the NTOA member tested program (I'm not sure what credibility that offers the market, but I figured it cant hurt.)
I would imagine reviews could be published in 4-8 weeks. Not super fast for people chomping at the bit... just letting you know.

Thanks for the info quillbro.. I think Im going to buy it.. Cheapest price??
Does it come pre drilled to pin? does it come with peel washers or crush washer and pin?
