A firearm flash hider can include a base module having an attachment surface, an exit surface opposite the attachment surface, and a projectile aperture oriented through the base module to allow a projectile to pass therethrough. The flash hider can include a plurality of contoured deflection walls extending longitudinally from the exit surface and further extending radially from a longitudinal boreline axis extending from the attachment surface to the exit surface along the projectile aperture. The contoured deflection walls can block a line of sight to the boreline.

A wipe-cutting tool integrated into a firearm or firearm accessory, or component thereof, which can be replaced in the field. The muzzle accessories may include a suppressor, a brake, a compensator or a flash suppressor. The components may include an endcap, the end of an accessory, a muzzle or a baffle. Cutting blades are integrated into the firearm or muzzle accessory and may be integrally formed with the suppressor or compensator tube as well as with a muzzle end cap attached to the tube. When pressed into a substrate of material suitable to form a wipe the cutting blade separates a wipe from the substrate which can be readily inserted into the suppressor or compensator at the muzzle end.

A muzzle accessory for installation on a barrel of a firearm is provided. The muzzle accessory includes an accessory body having a through-channel sized to receive the barrel of the firearm; and a locking member structured to engage the groove of the barrel to lock the muzzle accessory to the barrel.

A rifle includes a magazine well, a barrel, an exo-bolt, and a rear magazine support. The barrel is detachably coupled to the magazine well. The barrel includes a forward barrel portion on an end of the barrel opposite the magazine well. The exo-bolt is configured to travel along an exterior of the barrel. The rear magazine support is coupled to the magazine well and opposite the barrel. The rear magazine support is configured to come forward toward the barrel and be secured in a plurality of distances from the barrel to adjust a length of the magazine well.

A firearm includes a muzzle device. The muzzle device includes a muzzle adapter and a muzzle attachment. The muzzle attachment suppresses noise and/or redirects gases and recoil. The firearm utilizes recoil operation to cycle such that the barrel reciprocates inside a handguard of the firearm during cycling. The muzzle adapter is attached to the handguard and receives the barrel therein. The muzzle attachment is secured to the muzzle adapter such that the muzzle of the barrel remains longitudinally in the muzzle adapter during discharge and cycling of the firearm.

An adapter assembly for mounting an optic on a firearm using nuts mountable on bolts, threaded studs, or threaded posts is provided. The adapter assembly may include a bracket having a bottom section to mount to a firearm assembly, and a top side to receive the optic; wherein the threaded posts are integrally formed on the top side of the bracket, or wherein the bracket includes: pockets arranged to mate with at least part of heads of the bolts or studs, the pockets on a bottom side of the bracket; and through openings to receive shanks of the bolts or a different part of the heads of the bolts, or shanks of the studs. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

A compensator device for manipulating and reducing the effects of firearm muzzle lift and a lower receiver for manipulating environmental effects on firearms and firearm operators.
