Anyone using any of the new BCM muzzle devices?
Much like the other parts BCM has released lately, BCM has done so quietly and without fan fare. Was anyone in on testing or use? Is anyone using any of these new muzzle devices or have any 2nd hand feedback if not personal use?

I saw these the other day at my local BCM retailer, the guys behind the counter didnāt know about them or that they were even coming in
Wow! Cool. This is the first Iāve seen them.
Theyāre all listed as compensators. So far all comps have more flash and are louder than a standard A2 birdcage.
Yea, isnāt that the nature of all comps, if they work I should say?
The ones on the left look like modified bird cages. Cant see how the others actually work, maybe I need to see a 360 view to appreciate their build.

This it what they have bolded at top of page
"This Compensator was not designed as a gamers comp. It was designed for tactical applications to reduce muzzle rise, flash signature, noise, and lateral pressure.āā
I hadnāt noticed, but then I typically roll on past anything ācompensatorā or ābrakeā.
Might check this/these out. Description claims:
Designed to have less side blast and noise associated with typical compensators.
Iāve tried most of the ātacticalā comps.
Theyāre just louder and produce more flash than an A2 and donāt do much as a comp.
The other ones look like closed tine A1 3 prongs.
The ones on the left look like the comps that have been around for a while. The new ones look like 2 prong flash hiders as far as I can tell. Not sure Iāve ever seen a 2 prong before.
They look slick. The only BCM parts I have are RE kits. Just what was quickly available during those builds, coincidentally.
Iāll have to try their MDās if I ever get a bug to build another AR.
(edit. Creeping toward $100 for an MDā¦I donāt know, what suppressors do they accept?)
I have the mod 3 on a 14.5 elw upper. I havenāt fired it at night yet so canāt speak to flash suppression. I was shooting with my buddy the other day, he was using a 6920 with an a2 birdcage. I couldnāt tell a difference between the two noise wise though I do feel like it helps with muzzle rise noticeably. Nothing game changing but itās noticeable.
The mod 3 produce significantly more flash than the A2 birdcage.
The new variations appear to be a 2 prong open tine and 2 prong closed tine in 556 and 762 in both standard and extended lengths.
According to the description the open tine reduces flash more than the closed tine version.
I like it.
Give us a range report when done, particularly on flash suppression and muzzle rise mitigation.
Iām being lectured by people that I need to upload video and start learning to do vids. Iāll see if I can do a quick project with it.
Any updates on these? They look nice but BCM put zero effort into selling them. How about some night footage for flash performance vs an A2 birdcage. The main competition is the Surefire Warcomp and the SOLGW Nox so maybe some kind of comparison against those?
Pray tell, what has BCM put a lot of effort into selling with new launch items? These were a low launch item, the stocks before them were low launch items, their new receivers were low launch, the new URGs have been low launch. The BCM MK2 recoil mitigation systems were low launch, and their new book is something you probably havenāt even heard of.
Not only that, but the item they are about to release Iām betting will be also super low level launch.
Sure, but most of those products donāt really need videos of any kind. The MK2 buffer system is just a rebranded Vltor A5. Nothing to get excited about, just another source for A5 buffers.
With muzzle devices, especially ones that cost $100, its nice to see something even as minimal as some flash photos at night and even a quick 10 second video showing a string of fire to see if the device is over compensating the muzzle down. Not a requirement. Just nice to have.
The FCD 6315 page is a good example of low effort but useful product info: https://www.forwardcontrolsdesign.com/6315_p_76.html
