Following the more conventional 6315 compensator / flash suppressor, which is based on the A2 TDP dimensions but with Forward Controls designed asymmetrical ports to improve muzzle rise compensation, the 1815 is in turn based on the 6315 dimensions, basic AR18 flash suppressor layout, with Forward Controls designed ports geometry to give it some muzzle rise compensation capabilities.
As its name implies, 1815 has its root in the AR18 flash suppressor, which has two upper prongs and a closed bottom, forming a 3 port flash suppressor. 1815 largely retains this layout, but when put next to one another, I think one would be hard pressed to see the resemblance.
So far, we can reveal that 1815's flash suppressor ability is better than that of the A2, which is to be expected from an open ended flash suppressor. We're making several changes to the geometry of the prongs and ports based on the tests we ran two weeks ago, so prototype pics don't reflect the final production units, we'll release the final prototype pics instead, later [BD]
Primary ignition (inside the muzzle device) is smaller, and secondary ignition (about 2 to 3 inches ahead of the muzzle) is also smaller than that of the A2.
