Solve the CW versus CCW thread problem

Airsoft muzzle threads come in two directions, and mixing them is a common headache. Most replicas use a 14mm CCW (counter-clockwise) thread, but plenty of desirable silencers, tracers and flash hiders are cut for 14mm CW (clockwise). The Battleaxe Compensator bridges that gap, screwing onto your CCW barrel and presenting a CW thread on the outside.

Unlock more muzzle accessories

With the adapter fitted you can run the CW-threaded muzzle device you actually want, rather than being limited to CCW-only parts. It is an inexpensive way to expand your options when building or restyling a rifle, and it removes just as easily for storage or transport.

Doubles as an extender

Because it adds a short section of length to the muzzle, the compensator also gives the barrel a slightly more aggressive profile and can help push a silencer or tracer clear of a short outer barrel. The compact size keeps added length and weight to a minimum.

Simple, durable, tool-free

Machined from metal with a matte black finish that blends with a standard outer barrel, it fits hand-tight with no gunsmithing. The Battleaxe build quality means the threads engage cleanly and repeatably, install after install.

Build out your setup

Pair it with a suppressor or tracer from our airsoft accessories range, and if a thread ever gets damaged our airsoft repair service in Kent can help.

Frequently asked questions

What does this adapter actually do?

It changes the thread direction at your muzzle. Your barrel has a 14mm CCW (anti-clockwise) thread, and this piece gives you a 14mm CW (clockwise) thread on the outside, so you can fit CW-threaded muzzle accessories.

Which accessories will it let me fit?

Any 14mm CW muzzle device, such as CW silencers, tracer units, flash hiders and compensators. It is the standard way to run CW accessories on the more common CCW airsoft barrel.

Do I need tools to fit it?

No. It simply screws onto the 14mm CCW thread of your outer barrel by hand. If a game site check requires it, it can be removed just as quickly.

Will it fit my rifle?

It fits airsoft AEGs and gas blowbacks that use a standard 14mm CCW outer barrel thread, which covers the large majority of modern replicas. Check your barrel thread before ordering.

Does it change how the gun shoots?

On its own it is just an adapter and does not change velocity or accuracy. Any effect comes from the muzzle device you then attach. Find compatible parts in our airsoft accessories range.
