New Compensator joining the game

[polskadude]

Hera Arms Linear Compensator!

This thing looks amazing, cant wait to read some reviews.

What do you guys think?

Just from the photo, I guess it works just like the Spex and Noveske, directing the gas downrange.

 

[Clobbersauras]

Well without seeing the internals it's hard to tell. At first blush it looks like a larger take off of the LeVang. Compensating/braking effect of this would be minimal unless there is something special I can't see. Hard to tell if it's designed to increase dwell time.

Looks nice, good to see new products on the market.

That gun is nice. Dammm!

gun does look nice. anyone know who makes that lower?

whats up with the "G-MAG"?

 

[CarbineOne]

Yeah that just looks like the Levang Linear Compensator.

 

[bilkathegerman]

How did they make the moe hand guard stay in place without a front sight? I don't see any gas block! It looks amazing.

 

[Hokus Grey]

That stuff has to be all Magpul. No one else does gun pr0n like that.

It's a Hera-Arms upper/lower. Not sure about the G-Mag; "G" for German perhaps?

I was curious about this as well. Hera is also apparently coming out with a new low profile gas block. Will let you know if I find anything out.

It's Hera Arms' lower.

That looks really badical. I might be tempted to build one of these. Their HLS looks to be ambi, too.

Who sells Hera Arms uppers and lowers?

 

[JAGDMORDER]

Damn that looks good.

 

[Dr.Lector]

I love that ambidextrous bolt release.
I was wondering how much longer untill somebody would start making it.

 

[Agent Law]

Mega Arms is also coming out with an ambi bolt release lower:

But I seem to like the more minimal markings on Hera's stuff.

 

[Dr.Lector]

^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks for posting.
It appears both would need special contoured lowers.
Well, I will give it a try on a regular forging, to see how it goes.


Sorry for hi-jacking.

 

[Leibermuster]

I like what they did with the magwell on there very useful in many applications when shooting....

What the compensator going for in price?

 

[polskadude]

No idea on prices for anything, but I want that upper and compensator.. Hell, I want that exact rifle.

Interesting. I'd like to see beefier guards around the bolt release. The Herra arms one sticks way out but I would be concerned about mixing up the mag and bolt release in competition,under stress, etc. Inadvertently dropping the bolt when you meant to drop the mag would make for a much slower reload.

 

[misanthropist]

makes me wonder if we are approaching an era where backup iron sights become something other than mandatory...

 

[Agent Law]

Military optics seem to be at a point where they'll survive pretty much anything a gun will survive.

Of course, none of this matters in the civilian world. When I get the funds to build a shorty AR, I probably won't include any irons.

it is pretty hard to push the bolt release on an empty mag compared to the mag release. i don't think that would be an issue.

if the mag isn't empty, then pressing the button does nothing anyways.
