AR15 Compensator

[MichaelJR]

Not yet. Don't know anyone that has one. Most of the people I shoot with a not concerned about flash hiding ability. Not that it would be a bad thing.

It's advertised as being only 1.5db over the a2 birdcage, pretty quiet considering it's a comp. I don't believe all hype though....I will do more research

 

[ChevyGuy91]

I have an FSC556 on my M4gery, I don't know that I would call it quite. I have not shot it in low light, so I can not vouch for the flash hiding capability short of the videos on their site.

For a tacticool rifle, for 50 bucks more and you could get a battlecomp, which is smaller, and I like it better.

My .02 on the matter.

 

[Dan S]

That is what I did, and found one I like.

I know you did! It's appropriate advice, isn't it?.

 

[ChevyGuy91]

Absolutely.

 

[Dan S]

have you shot the fsc556?

I had one that I won at a match. I sold it before taking it out of the package. I knew it wouldn't work as well as comps designed for competition.

After reading this thread, I think I want a battlecomp on my AR. But it looks like the manufacturer likely to release battlecomp 2.0. Should I wait or should I just purchase 1.5 now? What is the differences between 2.0 and 1.5?

 

[Underwhere]

The Battle comp 1.0 is the 1" version designed to be almost the same dimensions as an A2 flash hider.
The 1.5 is the longer version to be used with 14.5" barrels to make them 16"+
The 2.0 is a redesign of the 1.0 that is suppressor compatible.

People have used the 1.0 with suppressors without incident.

I have the Battle Comp 1.0 and like it. My brother switched to it from the FSC556.

Elite Iron makes another comp that I spotted at SHOT...Haven't got the stats on it yet and am waiting for one to review, but it looks promising...

Thanks for the info, underwhere.

Miculek comp. Just to piss off everyone else on the line

I tried a Miculek comp and was not happy with it. I then went to a JP "Benny Cooley" comp that was a significant improvement. Virtually no muzzle flip and small enough for Tactical.

PS The Miculek is for sale for $25.

I'd prefer flash hiding capability over compensation, and while a flash hider is a no go on a post-ban rifle in MA, apparently the FSC556 does a good job of it. I wish I went with one in the first place, instead of I have generic three vent comp, which seems to work, but is slightly on the loud side and does nothing for flash. IMO a the AR platform doesn't need a comp period. I don't care enough to change it though.

That depends on what you are using your AR for.

That Custom is a great comp

Pretty much the only one I use now.

 

[Underwhere]

Here's a video of the flash hiding capabilities of a few

BCE and AAC are included in there.

It's a custom comp a friend of mine makes.

However, I am looking into an SJC Titan for an other build I am throwing around, and I have a JP cooley for my gf's next gun.

Care to share contact info for this friend? I need a brake too!

First rule of Custom comp is not to talk about its maker. You must first renounce "Tactical" and all of its evil ways, it is the first step of the journey to the glory of the custom comp. In the end, if you make it, the Maker will bestow its greatness upon you.

This is true, the first question that was asked of me was "What kind of rifle are you building? I don't do the silly tactical stuff."

If you needed to know, you already would. You will need to start the journey and along the way the answers will come.

If you really need a comp, I have a Benny Hill Rolling Thunder Comp I could be persuaded to sell.

Just drill some holes in your barrel and be done with it.

I renounce the foolish ways of TACTICAL and welcome the light of the custom comp into my life!

Haha, that's why I'm posting and asking questions here! I'm putting together an 18" upper, was looking at the SJC Titan, but the custom stuff always intrigues me.

What type of fore arm are you using?

I'm leaning towards that JP XL tube that I think you're running too?

Nice, you are following the path to glory

Cheese Graters and Ghetto Grips are No Go's. Competition guns do not have BUIS on them.

Depends on whether your "competition gun" is used outside the pits. My competition gun has BUIS and no brake.

(and the damned trigger pin walked out last match so I had to use a plain old A1 model to finish.)

I wouldn't call it a competition gun, more like a gun that you brought to a competition.

Yes, I love mine. If you have a long reach like I do, it will serve you well.

JP anti walk pins are a cheap solution./

Well, yeah. It's not a race gun, but it does fit nicely into the Tactical division.

I used the KNS Gen II pins.
