AR-15 MICULEK COMPENSATOR 22 CALIBER Reviews & Ratings

Jerry Miculek made a name for himself by getting on target quickly and accurately with his go-to AR-15 rifle. Now, he's helping AR-15 owners across America do the same thing with the launch of the Miculek 22 Caliber AR-15 Compensator. This unique muzzle device is designed for all .223/5.56 NATO modern-sporting rifles equipped with 1/2-28 TPI threaded muzzles. The compensator is machined from 4140 steel and features an all-black manganese-phosphate finish. The design features six ports paired with three baffles that direct muzzle gas out sideways, reducing recoil and muzzle climb. A solid bottom prevents venting gas from throwing up dust while shooting prone, and each compensator ships with a lock nut for installation. The device measures in at a 7/8-inch diameter and 2-inch overall length, weighing 3.6 ounces.

had this thing for a little while now, maybe 2-300 rounds through it. It shoots .223 and 5.56 fine (I was skeptical it just said 22 in the title). I dont have much to compare it too as its my first build and Im on a budget. Ive had an issue with it coming unscrewed, I used grease on my threads to help prevent rusting maybe that wasnt a good move but Ive seen others do that with no issue. I first put on the nut all the way then the comp, the comp wasnt lined up right so I had to unscrew 1/4 turn. Once lined up I turned the nut back into the comp and went as tight as I could while holding the comp in place. Hopefully no more issues or Ill need to maybe use locktite or a torque wrench. Good comp for a budget.
