Battlecomp Compensators

BattleComp Enterprises, LLC, is a relatively newcomer to the industry, yet in the short time they've been around, they've made quite an impact with their line of compensators. Shown here are their 1.0 and 1.5 comps.
The market for compensators is competitive, and full of options for the customer. Muzzle devices that either reduce flash, recoil or muzzle jump have been around as far as I can remember. Repeating what I wrote in other writeups: flash hiders reduce flash signature while compensators or brakes either aim to reduce felt recoil or muzzle jump/movement. The idea is to keep the muzzle as neutral as possible when shooting, so that any movement seen by the shooter is due to his own input. Less movement means quicker follow-up shots, or less need to adjust one's position after firing a shot. The 5.56mm round doesn't have much recoil to begin with, and a solid stance and hold are the biggest factors to controlling the weapon, and these should be learned before a comp is used. However, you don't always have the chance to be in that 'perfect' stance; like when you're shooting on the move, assymetrical or awkward shooting positions etc. For those who can't shoot well in any situation, a comp probably isn't going to help much. But for those who can take advantage of the benefits a comp has to offer, it can make a difference.
The BattleComps are designed to provide a balance between muzzle control and the excessive concussion and blast that normally accompanies muzzle brakes, without increasing the flash over a standard A2.
Description - Shown here are the BCE 1.0 and 1.5. The 1.0 was the first comp offered by BattleComp. The 1.5 is an extended version of the 1.0, designed for permanent attachment on 14.5" barrels, bringing the overall barrel length to 16.1". Both are made from 17-4PH heat treated stainless steel bar stock and are available in a black oxide or matte stainless finish. They're standardd 1/2 x 28 RH threads.
There's also the BCE 2.0 (not shown here), which has the same external length and outer diameter as an A2 compensator, so that it's compatible with suppressors that mount to an A2, like the Gemtech HALO. The 1.0 and 1.5 outer diameter is slightly less than an A2, and suppressors which require an A2 mount will be too loose on them. An A2 has an outer diameter of about 0.860"-0.862", and the 1.0 and 1.5 measure around 0.850". I measured the overall lengths of the BCE 1.0 at 1.756" and the BCE 1.5 at 2.150".
The 1.0 has rows of slots/ports around the body, which alternate between two and three ports per row. There are 15 rows, and 38 ports total. The bottom quadrant of the body has no ports (where the logo is laser engraved). The muzzle of the 1.0 is concave, and has four round ports drilled into it. The 1.5 body extends beyond the muzzle (which is also concave), creating a 'stand off hood' extension with 8 more ports in it. There are four subtle crenellations on the hood leading edge. The 'ports' at the muzzle level on the 1.5 are false; they don't go through, but they're there for visual/aesthetic continuity, which is a nice touch. The 1.5 is also pre-drilled for a pin, at the bottom, for permanent attachment to a barrel that requires pinning and welding. Both comps come with crush washers for installation. Testing has shown the 1.0 and 1.5 to have identical performance.

Badger Ordnance M7 Scout Light Mount
私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。
The M7 Flashlight Mount from Badger Ordnance is an offset scout mount that also incorporates a mounting point for a QD push button sling swivel. It's well made and designed, which is what we've come to expect from Badger Ordnance.
I'm glad to see yet another offset scout flashlight mount offered to the market. After a number of years of no offset mounts for Surefire's M600 and newer M300 Scout lights, we're finally getting some more choices. Placed at the 10:30 or 1:30 position, it's easier to activate a push button switch with the thumb, when using the 'thumb forward' support grip.
Description - The M7 Scout flashlight mount is designed to work with the Surefire M300 and M600 (shown here) series of flashlights, as well as provide a rotation-limited QD sling swivel mounting point. The M7 mount is designed specifically to work with laser aiming devices such as the ATPIAL/DBAL and all other issued aiming lasers by providing the necessary clearance for the beams to operate without interference from the flashlight or user's hand. It is made of mil-spec hard anodized 7075 aluminum in black only, and weighs 1.27 oz.
The M7 mount differs from other offset scout mounts by the lack of an angled mounting surface for the light. Most offset scout mounts have an angled platform extending from the base, that the flashlight bolts to. On the M7, the flashlight is bolted directly to a horizontal platform on the base and secured with two T-15 torx screws. While this increases the width of the base over other mounts, it doesn't extend any further to the side of the rail than the light body. The lack of an angled platform means that there is nothing between the light and the top rail, and there is now more clearance for rail mounted front sights. Some offset mounts cannot be mounted to the side rail right beside a rail mounted front sight as they conflict with the front sight base, but this less of an issue with the M7. As long as the sight clears the flashlight body, it's good to go.
Incorporated into the base is a rotation limited QD push button sling swivel mounting point. The QD swivel can be installed in four orientations and the rotation is limited to about 40° in each orientation, which prevents the sling from twisting. The base has a clamp that allows the mount to be 'rocked on' to the rail - it doesn't have to be slid on. A single recoil lug prevents any fore-aft movement once it's secured with the single T-15 torx screw.
I found the tailswitch to be located in just the right spot, and all I have to do is move my thumb to activate it. While I don't use a forward sling mount location, there are lots of folks who do, and will appreciate having the convenience of an integrated QD swivel mount right in their light mount.

Afghan Special Forces with Ghostex Kilo-1 Pattern
私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。
The Afghan Special Forces now do use the Ghostex Kilo-1 Pattern. According to Soldier Systems, this is because the US Government stipulated that this pattern must have similar coloration but it has to be distinctively different from the OCP Pattern that the US soldiers are using. The reason for this is that both forces can work together but would not be mistaken for one another.
