Compensators legal in Canada?

[iconoclastism]

Such as these ones:

Kies Blast Master Compensator

Levang Linear Compensator

 

[F22_RaptoR]

Should be, I've seen several linear-type compensators before.

Legally as long as it doesn't decrease the decibel sound energy at all, it doesn't count as a suppressor, and all a linear compensator does is direct noise downrange.

Blueline(top of page) used to stock Levang comps
Under accessories I believe

I've wondered what the Levang would be like to shoot on an AR15, might have to give one a go sometime.

I think dlask has them.

this is what I use... Troy claymore muzzle brake. PM if your looking for a source

I've used one on my AR. There wasn't much "compensation" but it did direct noise forward and IIRC it made a very impressive fireball out of the 10.25" barrel, but then, most muzzle devices do.

I've been trying to figure out how those actually work. Seems to me that by directing the gasses forward, wouldn't it increase felt recoil?

Probably, the main point for them is to direct noise and blast downrange and away from you, especially with short barreled guns.

Got a Levang comp on my SR22 on a dlask 12.5 inch bull barrel

yup, not much help for recoil and muzzle climb. I use the Claymores on my Tavors so I can hike around and shoot without hearing protection.

Cool, thanks for the info.

No, it wouldn't increase felt recoil. You are still firing the same cartridge and you are still pushing the same volume of gas out the end of your barrel.

Gas would still push forward slightly on the internal structure of the LeVang, much like it would a regular baffle, but with the reduced surface area the impingement is much less. I could never tell any difference in felt recoil when I used the LeVang. But IMO the beauty of the LeVang is that is may help to stabilize the bullet, which may improve accuracy, and that it forces gasses (and blast) forward, which helps those shooting SBR's. I used a reworked Dlask LeVang on a 10/22 and tests indicated that it had positive effects on accuracy.

I like the LeVang so much that I actually built a barrel tuner around one, which I can't wait to try on an upcoming 10/22 build. I'm not sure how well it will work, but I can't wait to try it.
