Making a muzzle device is a lot more difficult than one might think.
The steel has to be of a strength and heat treat that will take the repeated explosive effects of hot gas blasting out within it once the projectile clears the barrel's muzzle, and that gas is pressurized enough to blow apart aluminum handguards.
There was another company a few years ago that said, "We can build AR15s too. It shouldn't be that hard!"
They sent rifle samples to a guy who is brutally honest in his reviews, and their imitation A2 muzzle devices blew apart repeatedly.
They were made from steel alloy, but either the wrong kind or not heat-treated properly.
It isn't a simple matter of of throwing stock in a CNC with a cool design and pressing GO.
There is actually some engineering and applied physics involved that need to be done correctly, otherwise the part will fail quickly under muzzle exit pressure and expanding gas effects.
The market is flooded with companies who are competent at making basic parts like muzzle devices.
