Several years ago Griffin came out with a Linear comp for it's Gate-LOK series of suppressors. Shortly afterwards consumers requested a version for their Taper Mount suppressors as well. Griffin has focusing more on muzzle device R&D than any other suppressor manufacturer. Billet machined from 2 pieces of 17-4 Stainless steel, this device is precision TIG welded together to provide the largest possible internal expansion chamber in a Taper Mount. This design would be impossible to manufacture in a single CNC cut work piece. The welded on front cap features gas jet nozzles protected by a wire cutter shroud to focus concussive blast forward and away from the shooter and by standers in the immediate vicinity. CNC machining this device in two pieces is more expensive and time consuming than a single piece device for both machine time and human handling however no corners were cut to produce the optimal design. For users seeking the lowest concussion muzzle device that can be used either stand alone or with a suppressor this is the unit for them.
