The firearms market has seen increased popularity for AK-style pistols and even short-barreled rifle variants of popular 16-inch non-NFA carbine designs. An issue with these short-barreled models is the increased muzzle blast, especially with a support hand being near the muzzle. The Midwest Industries AK-47 Blast Can Compensator eliminates this issue. The Midwest Industries AK-47 Blast Can Compensator works by directing the escaping gases at the muzzle forward, thereby directing them away from appendages on handguards. The design does not reduce flash or recoil, however. Machined from 6061 aluminum Features hard-coat anodized black finish Measures 3.375 inches x 1.2 inches Weight: 3.2 ounces
