Jeff Matzka Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I have a Bushmaster XM15 E2S Shorty [16" barrel"]. I've scoped it for shooting Open, and installed the JP Fire Control system for one sweeeeeeet trigger pull. Now what's the best comp/muzzle brake to use?

kurtm Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 SuperGlider: I shoot a JP rifle in limited/tactical and am very impressed with JPs brake. His tactical brake is one of the best.......BUT.... Benny isn't lieing to you at all! I have the one he gave me on my open rifle. ITS THAT GOOD!!! Its the perfect size, doesn't get in the way, and didn't change point of impact at all. KURT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I don't claim to be in the same class with the rest of Bennys references but I use his comp. too It works, its better, it will let you be a better rifle shooter. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I have not used bennie's comp but I'm sure it works very well. JP's comps are excellent, either the new Bennie Cooley tactical comp or the open. Lots of shooters in AZ like the Miculek comp, which is priced right and is tactical/limited legal. I use the Accuracy Speaks Jakenator on 2 ARs and 2 FALs. It's similar to the Miculek comp. I think Jake's break is the highest quality and it's worked well for me.

benny hill Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 all of my comp's are limited, open, & limited tactial legal. 1 in. dia., 2.95 in. long. flat top & sides. Very compact & light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Benny, Do you make a comp for an AK? I have one that is not threaded for one and am looking to get one, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillL223 Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 I have the original JP comp on two rifles, one 16"and one 20", and they work very well. I have snagged a port or two with the comp while moving to the next position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooterj Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Miculek comp works great for me. JP comp for open works really well also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Superglider, I like the TTI eliminator comp., Its very similar to the Bushmaster Y-comp, or ZM's comp. Its a little flatter and lighter than the JP comp and it doesn't get hooked on ports or walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahauptman Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 (edited) I have a Bruce McArthur on my 16" AR and a Miculek on my 20" The McArthur is a better comp, but doesn't make most 3 gun competition rule of 1"dia. (1.125 dia) The Miculek is a good and economical comp. A gentle push rearward and very little muzzle rise. My splits are the same with both comps at close range shooting. At distances of 100 yards + the McArthur is by far superior. Edited June 21, 2003 by sahauptman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matzka Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 Thanks for the all the great input, everyone. Wow, tough decision to make. I'm leaning towards the JP in post-ban configuration. With set-screw installation, I can take it off when I want. Who knows, though...I may never want. Thanks again.

glockster96 Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Benny, Do you have a website or other info on where to get your comp? Thanks! (Edited by glockster96 at 3:08 pm on Feb. 18, 2003) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Glockester, reach Benny at 361-241-1091. His website is http://www.triangleshootingsports.com. Good shooting Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickster Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Lots of good advice here. So I finally removed my Bushmaster AK style brake and got the Miculek Brake. The gun handles better than with the AK style brake, even though the AK brake was pretty good. Shoots very flat with just a tiny bit of lateral movement to the right in the offhand position shooting off the right shoulder. There are 3 slots per side with the slot closest to the receiver being cut either slightly higher or lower than the bore (depending on how you index it) than the other two. I have it mounted so that those two slots are higher. Is this correct? There were no instructions. Common sense dictates the slots should be in the higher position, but you never know.

kurtm Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Mickster: Yep! The 2 back slots that are milled deeper go up! That is why Jerry says it,s a fully indexable brake. Turn the slots slightly twards the way the gun moves laterally and it will counter act this "wiggle". KURT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 i just got the miculek brake for mine too, and think it's a great set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Speaking of compensators on ARs . . . How do you respond to Tactical Tommies when they derisively dismiss the utility of a comp on an AR? Obviously, recoil with an AR is not much, but it's absurd or at least intellectually dishonest to claim that they serve no purpose (in my opinion). When you point out that they're not shooting fast enough for it to make any difference, they will counter with some example of shooting a select fire weapon into a small group at very close range. Do they just not "get it" and never will, or is there a way to reason with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 ' Joey Da Score' Did you just ask if there was a way to reason with a "tactical tommie"??? You gotta get on that stand-up - reality - comedy - competition show. That was a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta get on that stand-up - reality - comedy - competition show. That was a good one. Wiseguy! Allow me to rephrase . . . assuming one wants to engage in an exercise in frustration and try to reason with a tactical tommy . . . and there's a finite (albeit small) chance that one might actually listen with an open mind . . .

kurtm Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Rhino: I am "tacticle tommy"...the shooting kind, not the hot stove kind. Anything that helps fast second and third shots ( blattent slam on .223) in any carbine or real rifle is a good thing!!! KURT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I agree! When I assert the same, however, I often get some mix of the following: - "you can't buy skill with gear" - "recoil with an AR is minimal, so compensators don't make any difference" blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
