Linear compensators are part of a specialized family of muzzle devices designed to reduce muzzle concussions. The AIM7 linear comp is a prime example, efficiently collecting and redirecting muzzle gases away from the shooter. This forward redirection significantly reduces the perceived noise levels at the shooter’s ear, resulting in a softer shooting experience. Additionally, by pushing excessive noise and concussion downrange, bystanders also benefit from reduced exposure to muzzle gases.
Aim7 linear compensators have been successfully applied across various shooting disciplines, including:
- Close Quarters Combat (CQC)
- Competitive Shooting
- Varmint Hunting
- Law Enforcement
- Indoor Ranges
Installation
- No Crush Washer Needed: Installation is straightforward without the need for a crush washer.
- Optional Indexing: If indexing of wrench flats is desired, a crush washer or other timing device can be used.

What is a Linear Compensator?
A linear compensator, also known as a linear comp, is a device attached to the muzzle of a firearm that redirects the gases expelled when a bullet is fired. Unlike traditional muzzle brakes or compensators that direct gases to the sides or upwards to reduce recoil and muzzle rise, a linear compensator directs the gases forward. This design offers several benefits:
Benefits of Linear Compensators
- Reduced Recoil: By directing gases forward, linear compensators help mitigate the backward force felt by the shooter, making the firearm more comfortable to shoot.
- Muzzle Rise Control: While not as effective as traditional compensators in reducing muzzle rise, linear comps still help maintain better control over the firearm during rapid fire.
- Reduced Side Blast: Traditional muzzle brakes can produce a significant side blast, which can be unpleasant for the shooter and those nearby. Linear compensators minimize this side blast by pushing the gases forward.
- Enhanced Sound Forwarding: The forward direction of gases also helps project the sound away from the shooter, reducing perceived noise and pressure.
Applications of Linear Compensators
- Home Defense: In confined spaces, the reduced side blast is beneficial as it minimizes the risk of disorienting the shooter or bystanders.
- Tactical Shooting: For tactical operations, the forward-directed gases reduce the likelihood of disturbing teammates or giving away the shooter’s position with a side blast.
- Recreational Shooting: For sport shooters, the reduced recoil and more pleasant shooting experience enhance overall enjoyment.

- Made in America
The BFO Caged Flash Hider is machined out of heat-treated 4140 then nitrided offering exceptional strength and reliability. The primary function of the BFO diminish muzzle flash by dispersing and redirecting the escaping gases generated by the fired round, thus minimizing the signature flash produced at the muzzle maintaining your tactical advantage in critical situations.
The BFO’s internal threads is a significant design advantage offering even more flash suppression over standard flash hiders. The reduced flash not only helps maintain a clear sight picture but also reduces the chances of the shooter being temporarily blinded in low-light conditions, ensuring optimal visibility and target acquisition. The BFO also keeps the prongs closed which eliminates the well known “ring”, increases strength, and is a more classic flash hider look. It features a sleek, low-profile design that integrates seamlessly with your system, maintaining a clean and streamlined appearance.
