The GrovTec GTHM316 G-Comp muzzle brake delivers substantial recoil reduction for .308 caliber rifles through its precision-engineered port design. This black nitride-finished compensator transforms shooting dynamics by redirecting muzzle gases to counteract both vertical climb and felt recoil.
What Makes This Different
The GTHM316 features GrovTec's proprietary multi-port configuration that channels gases through strategically angled chambers. Unlike basic linear compensators, this design incorporates both side and top ports to manage recoil forces in multiple directions. The black nitride treatment provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard phosphate coatings while maintaining a non-reflective finish.
Key Features
- Reduces felt recoil by approximately 40-50% compared to bare muzzle
- 5/8"-24 TPI threading fits most .308 Winchester and 7.62x51 NATO barrels
- Black nitride finish resists corrosion and barrel wear
- Precision-machined steel construction handles high-pressure cartridges
- Multi-directional port design controls muzzle rise and lateral movement
- Low-profile design maintains sight picture and target acquisition
- Compatible with crush washers or timing shims for proper alignment
Field performance shows consistent recoil mitigation across various .308 loads, from 150-grain hunting rounds to 175-grain match ammunition. The compensator maintains effectiveness during rapid-fire sequences and extended shooting sessions. Hunters appreciate the reduced flinch factor for more accurate shot placement, while competitive shooters benefit from faster follow-up shots and improved target tracking.
