Muzzle break, Compensator vs. Flash hider - Help?

Recommended Posts

I'm new to shooting and would like to know the forum experience and recommendation for rifle muzzle break, compensator or flash hider or a combination of the three. I'm thinking to get to a 3 gun local match with my MP15 Sport with box standard muzzle break. Any thoughts? recommendations? do & dont's?

Welcome to the Forum. :cheers:

Lots of discussion here on the subject of The Best comp for

5.56mm rifles -

No one agrees on which is The Best, but most people feel

you can't go too far wrong with the Miculek for $35-$50.

Leading experts on this panel seem to be PEKelly &

Marko in regards to rifle comps. They'll probably be

along after the sun comes up to clear this all up for

you. :cheers:

There is a current posting entitled "VG6 Precision

Epsilon Comp" which provides some comparative

testing of comps conducted by P.E. Kelly a few years

ago - lots of great info right there.

p.s. When you decide to add a scope - lots of great

reading here also - all comes down to how

much money you want to throw at the scope

and how far you'll be shooting.

your standard a2 flash hider that comes stock will do just fine on your M&P15 sport for your first few matches. but Unless you're shooting at night alot, you'll find that there are more useful muzzle devices for 3-gun rather than flash hiders.

there are alot of options in the world of Muzzle Breaks and Compensators. you'll find that the most basic designs are probably the most effective. but alot of people get obsessed with the way their gun looks and therefore overspend on a cool-looking compensator that is no more effective than a cheaper one.

i have to give another +1 for the miculek compensator for an effective design at an affordable price.

Flash hiders are largely cosmetic unless you are in a fire fight. Breaks and compensator are different words for the same thing.

Search the rifle section on the word "break" and you will find numerous discussions.

The correct spelling is "brake"................ :sight:

If your referring to the Gas Hog then I'll agree with you Steve. I haven't shot enough other brakes to be able to do an honest comparison to the other popular brakes but I can say it is without a doubt the least concussive brake I've ever been behind or next to.
