Description

Precision Armament M4-72 Severe Duty cal.223
One of the best compensators on the market for the caliber 223 Rem. with approximately 75% recoil reduction (Rated 1st in independent testing in front of over 60 compensators).
This efficiency has a consequence: the shooter will feel a slight blast similar to a light gust of wind (not to be confused with the lateral shock wave which is perceived by an observer standing next to the shooter). In addition, this compensator should not be used on a barrel smaller than 14.5″ because this blast effect would become unpleasant.
Constructed without compromise in stainless steel with a chromium carbo-nitride coating by vacuum evaporation.

• Caliber: 223 Rem. (and all other calibers using a .224” projectile)
• Construction: stainless steel
• Finish: black (chromium carbon-nitride coating by vacuum evaporation).
• This type of coating significantly increases the resistance to erosion due to expanding hot gases.
• Anti-corrosion treatment: unnecessary (stainless steel).
• Thread: 1/2”x28 Tpi (standard AR-15)
• Length: 57mm
• Compensator efficiency: excellent
• Flash hider function: no
• Lateral shock wave (blast): significant.
• Important note: do not use on a barrel smaller than 14.5”.
• Made in the USA.

Notes:
Some of the compensators in this section are also sometimes used as flash hiders. Others are designed to limit the lateral shock wave generated by this type of accessory. This information will generally be in the description of our sheets.

It should be borne in mind that no device can perform all three functions at the same time perfectly. An excellent compensator will often be a poor flash hider and vice versa.
Nevertheless, some models offer very correct results in all three areas. Some also offer compatibility with certain sound moderators.

A TSV shooter will generally seek the best result in terms of recoil and bearing with the greatest possible stability of his weapon, but at the cost of a significant shock wave for anyone laterally nearby. On the contrary, a recreational shooter or a professional user will more logically turn to a less effective model but generating a weak lateral shock wave so as not to affect other shooters / operators nearby and, possibly, to a model also having a capacity high flash hider.

Each device will therefore meet a particular requirement, which explains the choice proposed.
