Wakal Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Actually, I'm stationed in Turkey now and I don't make anything anymore However, you can talk to the nice folks at Flatlandforge (Jim and Kathleen Poor) and they will be able to hook you up. They also make a neat "secondary" iron sight rail that is light years ahead of anything else available http://www.flatlandforge.com/GunMain.htm For the record (since I'm sure it will come up) I have no relationship beyond friendship with Jim and his wife, just as I have no relationship beyond friendship with any of the other fine folks whom I also frequently recommend in the strongest possible positive terms (such as...in no particular order...Dan Bedell, Benny Hill, Beven Grams...).

Jaxshooter Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I have 3 of the comps pictured on guns presently. The Cooley, Miculek and the JP comp. They all work well, the JP is a little softer but extremely loud. Shooters around you will hate it. I am using all of these in cojunction with the JP low mass operating system and thier adjustable gas block. I may order the F-2 to see how it compares.

KentG Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Using the advice of this board I ordered and just recieved my F2 Comp from Flatland Forge. It looks OK however there was no crush washer included. Its not a big thing but I dont exactly keep them laying around. I ordered one from Brownells and with shipping it was over $6. Its not the cost but I would have gladly paid a few more bucks to have one included to save the trouble of ordering one. We shall see how well it works soon I hope.

Religious Shooter Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 It's pretty common to not use a crush washer to mount a comp on an AR. I know Triangle Shooting Sports does not. If you file/sand/polish the face of threaded end of the comp you can get it so the comp is able to be hand turned until it is 1/4 or so of a turn short of being aligned. After that use a mechanical means (wrench, a wooden dowel thorugh the ports, etc) to torque it into place. No washer needed. If you take a look at the installs on the first page and on the Flatland Forge webpage I don't think you will see a crush washer used in the installation.

I would rather just use a crush washer to install it and I dont see how it would hurt. The Noveske Flaming Hog I just put on my SBR was very easy to align, came with one and in the past the few other brakes/flash hiders that were directionaly sensitive I have used have all been installed and indexed using one. First time for everything I guess. Edited May 12, 2006 by tnek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 You can install comps with crush or peel washers, but it doesn't look very professional. Whatever works, though, is fine. Functional over pretty Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbullgpd Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Of the comps listed previously in this thread, F2, cooley, Hill, JP, miculeuk, which are allowed when shooting iron sight class no matter what standard of rules you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 All of them are legal in all venues except for the JP Tank brake. The JP BC brake is OK though. The rule on muzzle brakes used for Iron and Tactical/Scope everywhere is 1" maximum diameter, 3" maximum length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentG Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I have to add one more thing concerning the crush washer issue. I installed my F2 and discovered that my Colt factory barrel is not threaded all the way and the F2 is not counter bored so it will not thread all the way on. I HAD to use a crush washer and would with any kind of flash hider or comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 When we thread barrels in house, we leave a bit of a step between the threads and the shoulder (a "CD" trick ). Some barrel makers do the same, and some thread right to the shoulder. Colt, obviously, is in the latter group I'm rather fond of Sabre barrels; they do it the "step" way (and make a hell of a nice barrel for very little money).

philip52 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 If anyone here is interested in an F2 comp, I am selling mine (brand new never installed). I'll be moving stations and don't have the time to use it...send me a PM if interested. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I know it's a little late, but the Rolling Thunder from Benny Hill is awesome! I put it on the night before our last match and it really tamed the 16".. The Eotech dot doesn't come off the upper A/B at 40 yards. Saweeeet... Thanks Benny..

glock_forty5 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I have heard good things (except for it being loud) about Bushmasters Tri Y comp. Anyone ever try one of those? G45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Seen it in action. There are flatter comps. It's really hard to tell unless you know if they are running a lightened carrier, adj gas system etc... But he was running all and it still moved. The F2 and the Rolliong Thunder are the flatest legal comps I've seen.. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken hebert Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I am by no means an expert here, but I do have a Bushy Y comp on one AR and a Bennie Cooley comp on another AR, and I can most definately say that the Bennie Cooley comp works better.
