Forward Controls 6315

[Duffy]

Video of A2 and 6315 comparison. No extra noise and concussion, the asymmetrical ports (3 and 9 o'clock ports are 25% smaller than the other 3 upward facing ports) perform as designed to reduce muzzle rise and swifter return to target.

I asked Rich why he shot faster with 6315 installed, the reply was he was able to get back on target faster, so he took the shots. With both A2 and 6315, he was taking aimed shots at a target, not random dirt and rocks.

6315



Other experienced shooters have confirmed 6315's swift back to target characteristic. It's difficult to put a number on it, the genera consensus is 20 to 25% reduction in muzzle rise. This improvement doesn't come at the expense of increased flash signature, noise and concussion. I'd be satisfied with 10 to 15%, being we want to stay in the confines of the A2's established dimensions, 20 to 25% is more than we expected.

My own experience and conclusions of 6315's performance may be tainted and biased, and are therefor excluded from the tests. I'm pleased with the assessment and results shared and verified by my peers

6315 now has a new moniker, Super A2. Those that have used it reported its effectiveness as a comp (while 6315 is not a pure comp).

The latest review from a user made us happy "The 6315 is much more effective than I expected it to be. My first few shots with it felt much more comp-like than merely flash hider-like..."

The 6315 does so without sacrificing its flash signature suppression abilities, and without creating any more noise and concussion than an A2

Roger, I honestly don't see 20-25% from the video. I guess I'll need to get one to try out for myself.

The name change is a good idea. 6315 doesn't really tell the consumer what it is and is quickly forgotten.

[Duffy]

It's very difficult to see 20 to 25% quicker return to target in videos, even in high speed camera footage. Most are used to seeing A2 vs. a comp or brake, the difference there is much easier to pick up.

"Super A2" sounds like something Geissele would make. It is descriptive and catchy, though. Something like FH/C (Flash Hider/Compensator) would better match the naming convention for your products.

I like 6315 better. Harumph.

[Duffy]

It's called 6315 still, Super A2 is a nickname. Geissele uses Super in front of everything, it kind of loses its meaning there.

[fledge]

I think Geissele's using "super" is goofy for such a reputable company. But if you're at that level, you can do what you want.

Super A2 works for me and have one on my wish list.

I can't keep all your other product names straight though. And all my rifles have them. It's the "Forward Controls Bolt Catch with lines or dimples" and "Forward Controls Forward Assist". That's how my brain works.

[Duffy]

6315 and later, 1815 and 6310, probably will be the only products with numeric instead of alphabetic names. I haven't thought of a name for 6315 if we had stuck to our naming convention. IA2 (Improved A2) or EA2 (enhanced A2) come to mind, but I try not to use E (enhanced), it's overused, it only appears on the EMR family once, or is it three times (EMR, EMR-C, EMR-A)

[Deadwing]

I love Geissele's stuff, but the super this and super that is a bit much. If they built superchargers, i'd be willing to bet they'd market them as Super Superchargers.

Carry on, Roger. I really dig my 6315s. I haven't had the chance to put any rounds down range with one yet, but i appreciate the upgrade to my uppers.

[Duffy]

You should install it and shoot it, I know there is skepticism on the 20 to 25% in muzzle rise reduction claim, modest as I believe the claim to be.

6315 hasn't gone out to many reviewers, as I've been waiting for the EMR-A to show up before sending them both. Highjak86 just received his ahead of the EMR-A. This week, both will go out to reviewers.

[GOST]

I'd call it the A2.1

Shot some video footage yesterday, 6315's compensator performance can be seen best in bursts or rapid fire.
