Robert King Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I have a budget 10" upper. Nothing fancy about it but it functions very well and I really like it. I need to finish it off with a comp. Keeping with the theme, I want an inexpensive comp, not looking to spend the $80+ I am finding. Any suggestions on a low end that is good for the short barrel? I was told a $40 DPMS worked well, but it is out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dauntedfuture Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I would look at a BCM MK0, battle comp or levang comp. A "real comp" on a SBR will be crazy loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polymerfeelsweirdman Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Not sure how the DPMS/Miculek works with a short barrel but it works well with longer barrels for sure. I think there is also an affordable copy of the Noveske flash hider but I do not know if that is what you are after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Joe Bob Outfitters has a good selection of cheap comps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert King Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'm looking for one with no openings on the sides, just the front. I want to direct as much forward as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyscott999 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) I have this on my 10.5" gun. It is not as loud as my open pistol. Only $34.00 Basically a Noveske Flaming Pig copy. This is the slim version to fit under a troy rail.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OGNLEAC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edited December 27, 2014 by Shadyscott999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think It depends on what you want out out of it. If you want to throw some sound etc out the front and make it more pleasant to shoot specifically for the RO and people beside you the dpms linear levang, the KAK clone or the one scott posted which are basically copies of the pig work. If your wanting it to work like a comp and keep that muzzle down then there are other options out there. The Miculek does work very good on an SBR and yes it keeps the RO off your ass because it's stupid loud to the side (not bad behind the gun) but it keeps that gun flat. Another option is the TTO which is a comp but just under A2 flashider size. It's not quite as effective but it works pretty darn good(not like a true competition comp) and is small and light. It is also not as loud as the competition ones but not as flat either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlehendrick Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 If you hate your RO, or ever shoot through barrels, I would suggest not using a full on brake. It will give you a solid rattle, even with two sets of ear pro. I have a Surefire brake on my 10.5" SBR. I run it with a silencer 99% of the time just to keep things civil at my range.

wgj3 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Last poster has it right. The clear option is a suppressor mount for whichever can you decide on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon49erfan Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 "I want an inexpensive comp" get a suppressor. don't worry that the stamp alone cost more than 4x what you were looking to spend. another +1 for a cheap linear comp. I put a Miculeck on my 12.5 and it was very uncomfortable to shoot. putting a linear comp wasn't as effective, but it was much more pleasant.

littlehendrick Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) All I was suggesting was do not put a full on dual/multi port brake and expect to make friends with others on the range. Now if you want to create space around you, go for it!Getting a suppressor for competition is mostly silly anyways...the shot timer doesn't pick up your shots being fired.My suggestion for what you are wanting would be something like the BCM compensator. Not too obnoxious, but still tames things down. Maybe find a used one floating around here or m4carbine.net.

dauntedfuture Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Levang makes a linear comp that fits the bill. All blast forward. I run one on a 12.5 AR. There is no real recoil reduction, but it does keep things civil. Small, light-ish and 30.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would look at a BCM MK0, battle comp or levang comp.

Robert King Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 The DPMS Levang was out of stock, but our local gun store had some made branded for him and they are almost identical, just a bit lighter. I went with that for $50. Will install and shoot it this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
