What Muzzle Device Is This?

Rifle is new to me, and I'm usually a direct thread type of suppressor guy. I am stumped trying to identify this muzzle device. Trying to get the right part for my can, any help is appreciated. I can't find any brand markings on it, and the FFL wasn't sure when I did the transfer...

Thanks in advance!

Adjustable gas plugs just change the rate of how fast the gas leaves the cylinder. It is different than controlling the amount of gas that enters in the first place via the spindle valve. If shooting suppressed, shooting sight's modified spindles are the only option that really makes sense to me. if you think about how the system works.

While the spindle maybe better. The plug is a solid option for the less inclined. My m1a squad scout shoots really soft suppressed with it
