Midwest Industries MIPBD AR-15 223 Rem, 5.56x45mm NATO Blast Diverter 1/2-28 tpi Black Phosphate Steel

The Midwest Industries MIPBD Blast Diverter is a compact linear compensator-style muzzle device engineered to channel propellant gases and concussion forward, away from the shooter and bystanders. Machined from steel and finished in a low-glare black phosphate coating, the MIPBD is purpose-built for AR-platform pistols and short-barrel rifles chambered in .223 Remington / 5.56x45mm NATO.

Threading is the standard 1/2"-28 tpi pattern, allowing direct installation on most .223/5.56 AR-15 barrels with no adapter required. The diverter measures just 1.75" overall length with a 1.09" diameter, keeping it compact and lightweight for pistol and SBR builds where real estate at the muzzle is limited.

Unlike a conventional compensator or muzzle brake, the MIPBD is designed to redirect blast and noise forward rather than venting to the sides, making it a smart choice for indoor ranges, CQB setups, and side-by-side shooting where lateral blast would disturb a fellow shooter. Backed by Midwest Industries' reputation for quality AR accessories, this is a simple, rugged add-on for any .223/5.56 AR-15, AR pistol, or short-barrel rifle.
