Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to compensators for use with firearms, for example, to inhibit muzzle climb and/or recoil of the firearms when the firearms are discharged, etc. In one example embodiment, a compensator generally includes a body defining a channel having a keyed shape configured to receive a rail of a firearm to thereby inhibit movement of the body relative to the firearm, and means configured to engage the body and the rail of the firearm to thereby secure the compensator to the firearm.
Claims20
A compensator for use with a firearm to inhibit muzzle climb and/or recoil of the firearm when the firearm is discharged, the compensator comprising:
- a channel configured to receive a rail of the firearm into the channel when the compensator is coupled to the firearm, the channel including at least one ridge configured to fit at least partly in a groove of the rail;
- and
- a retention device configured to extend into the channel and engage the rail of the firearm to thereby secure the compensator to the firearm.
A compensator for use with a firearm to inhibit muzzle climb and/or recoil of the firearm when the firearm is discharged, the compensator comprising:
- a body defining a channel having a keyed shape configured to receive a rail of a firearm to thereby inhibit movement of the body relative to the firearm;
- and
- means configured to engage the body and the rail of the firearm to thereby secure the compensator to the firearm.
A method of making a compensator for use with a firearm, wherein the compensator is configured to inhibit muzzle climb and/or recoil of the firearm when coupled to the firearm and when the firearm is discharged, the method comprising:
- forming a channel in a body of the compensator such that the channel defines a keyed shape configured to receive a rail of the firearm, to thereby inhibit movement of the body relative to the firearm when the compensator is coupled to the firearm;
- and
- forming an opening in the body of the compensator structured to receive a retention device into the opening for securing the compensator to the firearm.
