Reduce recoil at the cost of a big back blast be sure you are wearing eye protection. Works well

This is by far the best recoil reduction mod you can add to a rifle…especially.308. Works well on 5.56 and 300blk as well. When shooting at an indoor range, there is a noticeable blast to your neighbors on either side…but the recoil reduction to the shooter is amazing.
Pros:
- Superior recoil reduction
- Quick followup shots
Would recommend: Yes

We’ve had many Christensen rifles come through our Long Range Classes and they wouldn’t group well. The fix was this M4-72 muzzle brake. These rifles would hold a .625 inch group or better.

The Precision Armament M4-72 Severe-Duty Compensator is hands-down the best muzzle device I’ve ever used. Installation was simple, and once I got it on the rifle, the difference in performance was immediately noticeable. It does exactly what it’s designed to do—reduces recoil and muzzle rise to the point where staying on target during rapid fire feels effortless. Follow-up shots are quicker and more accurate, and the rifle just feels smoother to run overall.
While the side blast is definitely noticeable (as with most high-performance comps), it’s a tradeoff I’ll happily accept for the level of control this compensator provides. For me, it’s transformed the shooting experience into something much more enjoyable and precise. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to push their rifle’s performance to the next level. 5 stars.

Works like a charm, part of a larger overall solution, but at the end of the day, my rifle has very little recoil and keeps my eye on target, as well as on subsequent rounds—very high quality. The only issue is the lineup. You'll need the shim kit to get it to tighten down and stay level. This part does not include the kit.
Best Used for:
- Long barrels
- Long Range / Precision
Would recommend: Yes

Cons:

The package was delivered on time and the product is exactly what was described. I've already been to the range twice and the difference it made is amazing! Little to no muzzle rise after install and the rifle sounds like a real beast now! Thanks Optics planet! You can't get a better compensator for that price.

Requires a special o-ring that is $25 and does not come with the part, nor is there a notification when purchasing that the part is required. The o-ring should come with the part when ordered or there should be a clear notification of this additional required part and its cost. The part effectively cost 25% more than I bargained for.

This little unit pretty much eliminated any recoil on my 16” 223 Wylde using 55gr rounds. OP had it to my door in a few days!

Concussion on sides is insane! Definitely does lessen recoil! Really wish the shim set came with it. You do get a bit of pressure blast in face.
Cons:
- By standers will hate you
Best Used for:
- Three gun faster follow ups
Would recommend: Yes
