Forward Controls is excited to introduce our latest Muzzle Devices for Allen Engineering Suppressors: the 6315AE & 6310AE! While the Mk12 brake is well-known and, by our strict standards, actually a pretty good muzzle brake, we understand that there are often major benefits to using a flash hider instead. The 6315AE is a version of our 6315 that’s been designed to accept Allen Engineering 223 sound suppressors. The 6315 itself is based on the TDP A2 compensator and features smaller 3 and 9-o’clock ports. This forces more gas to be vented through the top 3 ports. Over the years, we’ve added small improvements; the most notable is the internal grooves that help keep the flash inside the cone cavity, rather than outside the muzzle device. Flats are incorporated for installation using a standard AR15/M16 armorer’s wrench or a 3/4″ wrench.
For those familiar with our naming conventions, you may have already deduced the calibers and thread pitches these devices are designed for. However, let’s recap:
• The 6310AE is for 30 caliber firearms, with a 5/8 x 24 thread pitch.
• The 6315AE is for .223/5.56 caliber, with a 1/2 x 28 thread pitch.
Both muzzle devices can be found here: www.forwardcontrolsdesign.com/allen-engineering
Both muzzle devices share a length of 1.88″ and weigh 2.30 oz. They’re crafted from 4140 steel and feature a black nitride finish. True to our commitment, these are designed, manufactured, and materials sourced entirely within the USA.
