HIPERCOMP 556C AR15 Compensator

Hiperfire 5.56 Compensator

The HIPERCOMP 556C is a muzzle compensator from Hiperfire for 5.56 AR-15 rifles. A compensator is a muzzle device that vents propellant gas through ports to push the muzzle back down as the rifle fires. That keeps the sights closer to the target between shots. It suits shooters who want faster follow-up shots from a standard AR-15 build or a competition rifle.

Features

• Ported Compensator Design — A row of slotted ports along each side vents gas outward to counter the muzzle rise that follows each shot.
• Internal Expansion Chambers — The cutaway shows a series of chambers behind the ports, giving the gas room to expand and redirect before it leaves the bore line.
• Angled Front Face — The muzzle end is cut on a slant instead of square, which gives the device its distinctive profile.
• Built For 5.56 AR-15 Rifles — The 556C is designed for AR-15 rifles chambered in 5.56, the standard calibre for the platform.
• Threaded Mount — The device threads onto a threaded barrel muzzle in the same way as a factory flash hider.
• Wrench Flats At The Base — Flat sides at the rear of the body give a wrench something to bite on during installation and removal.
• Washer Pictured For Installation — A washer is shown with the compensator, used to seat and time the device on the barrel.
• Textured Side Panels — Raised, textured panels on the flanks break up the outline of the body.
• Black Finish — An all-black exterior matches most AR-15 uppers and handguards.

Fit And Installation

The HIPERCOMP 556C replaces the flash hider or muzzle brake already on a threaded AR-15 barrel. Before ordering, check that your barrel's thread pitch matches this compensator. For correct operation the ports need to be timed, meaning the device is turned so they sit evenly at the sides while it is fully tightened. The washer helps with this. If you are unsure about installation, a gunsmith can fit and time it.
