I picked up this product today and I am very satisfied. Now I have a real artillery compass! As a surveyor, I immediately understood how it works. There is nothing like it in the military. I recommend it to everyone—a quality that's, as always, top-notch!
The M2 compass is an accurate reproduction of the M2 artillery model utilized by the US Army. Its design ensures precise azimuth and direction measurement, making it an essential device for both field navigation and tactical purposes.
The sturdy composite casing in green provides excellent protection for the mechanism against damage. The snap-lock closure keeps the dial secure during travel. With a dial diameter of 65 mm, the compact closed dimensions are 70 x 70 x 22 mm.
The sighting function allows for accurate directional readings, while the integrated sighting devices, including the front sight and rear notch, enable precise targeting of field objects. The compass needle, mounted on a pivot, functions with a 1-degree scale and can be adjusted with a side screw.
The lid, featuring an inbuilt mirror with a sighting hole, improves measurement precision. The two integrated spirit levels ensure the device is correctly positioned, even in difficult terrain.
The fluorescent dial and needle enable the compass to function in low-light environments. A locking mechanism holds the dial in place when closed, preventing accidental shifts and maintaining the chosen direction.
Thanks to its robust build and carefully chosen features, the M2 compass is an ideal selection for military missions, outdoor pursuits, and field navigation.

Overall, the equipment is very durable. The height is measured correctly, and all elements work as they should. However, the biggest downside of the compass is the reversed scale and wind rose. You can get used to reading the direction after some time, but taking magnetic declination into account gives me some trouble. Maybe it's a manufacturing defect, or maybe it's just an American peculiarity.
