Ultradyne Athena Linear Compensator – 5.56/.223, 1/2×28 Thread, AR-15 Muzzle Device
The Ultradyne Athena Linear Compensator offers enhanced control and shooter comfort for your AR-15 chambered in 5.56mm or .223 REM. Crafted from 416 stainless steel and finished in rugged black nitride, this linear comp directs gas and noise forward—away from the shooter—making it ideal for tactical, home defense, and range use.
The Athena Linear Compensator by Ultradyne USA is the smart solution for shooters looking to reduce concussion, sound pressure, and muzzle blast without altering the trajectory of the bullet or increasing side blast.
Unlike traditional muzzle brakes that vent gas sideways, the Athena’s linear design sends everything forward. This makes it perfect for indoor ranges, short-barrel builds, and close-quarters tactical applications.
It’s precision-machined from 416 stainless steel for long-lasting durability, includes a shrouded timing nut for simple installation, and fits all standard 1/2×28-threaded barrels.
