ULTRADYNE Pegasus Tanker Compensator - 223 Rem/5.56 NATO, Black Nitride, 416 Stainless Steel, 1/2"x28 tpi

The Ultradyne Pegasus Tanker Compensator is a 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington muzzle device built to control recoil and muzzle rise on AR-platform rifles. If you shoot rapid follow-up shots or want to stay on target faster between rounds, a quality compensator can make a real difference—especially in competition, tactical drills, or hunting scenarios where split-second accuracy matters. This one's engineered with progressive 90-degree side ports designed to redirect combustion gases and manage muzzle climb so you can get back downrange quicker.

Built from 416 stainless steel and finished in black nitride, the Pegasus Tanker is made to handle hard use. The 1.25" outside diameter keeps the profile reasonable while the ported design does the heavy lifting on recoil control. Threading is 1/2"x28 tpi, the standard for modern AR barrels in these calibers. Installation is straightforward thanks to the included timing nut, which ensures you can get the ports oriented correctly and the device secured properly without guesswork.

Ultradyne compensators are known for precision porting and solid construction, and the Pegasus follows that playbook. Whether you're running a duty rifle, a 3-gun competitor, or a precision varmint gun, a compensator that reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise is a practical upgrade that lets you shoot faster and more accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Pegasus Tanker Compensator fit my AR-15?

Yes, as long as your barrel is threaded 1/2"x28 tpi and chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO. Most modern AR-15 barrels use this thread pattern, but verify your barrel specs before ordering.

What does the timing nut do?

The timing nut allows you to orient the ports correctly and then lock the compensator in place on the barrel threads. This ensures the side ports are positioned to work as designed and simplifies installation.

Is the Pegasus Tanker made for suppressed or unsuppressed rifles?

The compensator is designed for unsuppressed fire. If you plan to use a suppressor, confirm compatibility with both devices before mounting.

How much recoil reduction can I expect?

The progressive porting design is engineered to reduce muzzle rise and manage recoil, helping you stay on target for faster follow-up shots. Actual felt reduction depends on your rifle setup, ammunition, and shooting style.
