Cmmg Zeroed 5.56Mm Linear Compensator 1/2-28

The CMMG Zeroed 5.56mm linear compensator is a compact muzzle device designed to redirect muzzle blast forward while managing recoil rise—ideal for shooters who want better control and a cleaner shooting experience without a full-size brake. Threaded for standard 1/2-28 AR platform barrels, this compensator is machined from 303 stainless steel and finished in nitride for reliable durability in the field or at the range.

A linear compensator works by venting gases forward rather than to the sides, which minimizes disturbance of the sight picture and reduces blast direction toward nearby shooters—a practical advantage in competitive shooting, training, or when shooting in tight quarters. The CMMG Zeroed keeps your setup sleek and purposeful without excessive width or length.

Whether you're running a patrol rifle, setting up a precision .223 build, or looking for a low-profile muzzle device that does the job without unnecessary bulk, this compensator pairs well with any 5.56mm AR upper receiver. It completes the rifle aesthetically while delivering functional recoil management and blast control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 5.56mm AR-15?

Yes, if your barrel is threaded 1/2-28. This is the standard thread pitch for most modern 5.56mm and .223 Remington AR barrels. Check your barrel specs to confirm.

How does a linear compensator differ from a muzzle brake?

A linear compensator redirects gases and blast forward, which reduces side blast and keeps your sight picture clearer. A traditional brake directs gases to the sides and rear, which can be louder for nearby shooters but may offer slightly more recoil reduction. The linear design is ideal if you shoot in pairs or near other shooters.

What's included?

The product ships as the compensator itself. You will need the appropriate mounting hardware (typically a crush washer and shim kit) if not already on your barrel, available separately.

Is the nitride finish durable?

Yes. Nitride is a proven hard-coat finish that resists corrosion and wear, suitable for both range use and field conditions.
