compensator for five seven

[Insanity9402]

i saw a picture not too long ago with a five seven sporting a rail mounted compensator which looked badass. was wondering if anyone knows a good place to find these, cause i cant seem to find any. it also could be fake but still most guns have compensator you can buy or have made and the only ones i see are threaded to the barrel. let me know if you know anything or got a site i can check.

Welcome to our forum!

"most guns have compensator"

man, that is news to me!

Eliteammunition.com just announced their pre-order for extended bbls. They also have options for threading, etc, IIRC, which will allow you to attach a comp to it.

If recoil sensitivity includes the 5.7, I'd hate to see what happens when the door says "PUSH".
:facepalm:

Rail mounted comp? Are you sure you weren't playing Splinter Cell?

This is where my mind went as well so I googled it & they do actually exist. I didn't specifically see the FsN but I suppose it is possible someone made one.

Insanity, do you have the pic?

Here's my rail mounted compensator.... (compensates for my near sightedness)
No compensator needed for recoil since the FsN is quite manageable...

Maybe this is what you saw before... Posted on a gamer forum... Unfortunately, they say its not real or ever been developed.

[s-industries]

I've been working on a design. More like the HK USP Match setup. Problem is I don't have a threaded barrel, so the actual comp part will have to wait until I have something to put it on...

I believe this is what he was looking for...

FYI!!!

Ok, back to reality!!!! :facepalm:

The one in the video game picture is just a weighted extension that is clamped onto the rail.

Something that I highly recommend against.

[Insanity9402]

i know it sounds stupid or from a game but they can be made, and although i know a five seven doesnt need one it is mainly for looks. im only asking cause i have never seen one like it before and sadly cant find it again. and here is an example of what im talking about, which does come up when you google it.

the one i seen for 5.7 mounted on the rail

Gold Star, sir. Gold star.

Yes the USP Match has the 'weight' (it doesn't weigh much iirc) clamped to the frame. The actual compensation comes from the extended ported barrel that is covered, except for the top, by the match 'weight'. The FsN has reports (or one report, not sure) of cracked frame(s) because of stress on the frame, which is why folks are against actually clamping a comp to the frame.

I agree with you, it's more of looks item, which is why I am working on an FsN Match weight

interesting good to know. would still like to find it though, already dropping a grand for it, so need something to make it stand out a little.

I hear ya. I can empathize. I prefer, personally, low-profile and very demure-looking platforms for myself. I don't like to be noticed. However, I completely see your point of view, and EA makes really awesome dipped slide-covers for what you want. They have skulls and tiger stripes and different colors. Pretty awesome stuff.

S-industries; if you prototype a nice polymer rail attachment, I think it'd actually be really fun to try it out; I would get one from you if it wasn't too expensive. It'd have to be really light, though.

[s-industries]

Yeah I proto'd one. It looked pretty cool once I finally got it installed (took some adjusting), but definitely needed the actual compensator mounted to the barrel to complete the look. It's pretty much on the bottom of my list right now, but maybe some day it'll happen.

[panzermk2]

My issue is that my barrel maker pushed back my extended barrel order. No use making one without a barrel to put it on.

well when you get it setup please let me know, id also like to see some pictures of it.

[s-industries]

I'll try to remember to put it back on and snap a few pictures over the weekend. Again, it's only the rail mounted portion plastic prototype. I don't have a threaded barrel so I couldn't proto the actual compensator.

The bove quote shows a red dot mounted where the rear sight was on the 57. Just wondering who does this and how much does it cost?

[blueorison]

Rosie;

our sponsor, Truehuntersupply has these mounts. Elite Ammunition also sells rear sight mounts for the MRDs (mini red dots). The ones that EA sells have back up iron sights on them that, IIRC, are also glow in the dark, etc.

Shop around at Truehuntersupply's shop: fivesevenreddot.com

and EA's

Eliteammunition.com

and find the one that is right for you.

Rob at truehunter supply and it's FF specific.

I installed it to take some pictures but it looked a little off since it was designed for a standard slide cover. It really didn't do it justice, so I'll wait to post pics until I proto a design made to fit with my custom cover, or until I put my stock cover back on.

[Insanity9402]

I know this kinda old but I found the pic that made me ask this question. Now it is not a real pic and isnt exact to a five seven but it still looks badass. I also just picked up my mk2 after a long wait. Gotta get a holster then of course night sights

[blueorison]

It's basically an FsN

[panzermk2]

A comp like that would be cool. No need for a barrel change. I have given it though. The lack of capital for R&D killed it.

[s-industries]

Pay no attention to the missing pins...my gun is in pieces right now.

[panzermk2]

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Very cool that's what im talking about. You need to sell some of those

[s-industries]

I would like to sell some, however this is just a plastic prototype, and I don't have the actual compensator done yet (I need a threaded barrel). It may be feasible to do this portion plastic and the comp metal. There have been reports of rail mounted devices cracking the frame, so a plastic piece here would reduce that possibility.

That was my concern. With a standard barrel you could easily make a frame mounted comp. The chamber would work just fine. It would have to be Metal though and that frame concerns me. More if you think about it, the comp will be pushing down on the rail under recoil.
That is not a good thing on the MKI.


MKII front rail can take it all day long though.

[s-industries]

So they beefed up the MKII frame? Good deal. My plan was to have a thread-on comp with an aesthetic 'match weight' (as shown in the picture). This would make it safe for both the USG and the MKII I think.

Massively.

How can you tell if the frame is Mk 1 or 2?

Serial #? looks different?
