Truegent2004 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I want to get a Cooley comp for my DPMS AR-15. I noticed some shooters don't have them straight up and down but twisted (Canted) a little to the left or right. Does it make a difference? How should this lefty have his set up?

Mines straight up and I'm a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I seem to recall that there are instruction with the comp saying what to do for left vs right handedness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Some folk like to "Clock" the brake on the basis of the recoil is up and out towards the strong side for ergonomic grip reasons. The "Clocking" is supposed to help with this, I don't go for it myself and feel a muzzle brake, or comp should always be neutral, or vertical as the case may be.

SGDM Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm a retar...I mean left handed and keep my Cooley at the 12 o'clock position. I have tested different comp positions and did not find any difference. JP makes a Cooley with a hole in the side, RH/LH, but did not notice any change.

cking Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 The idea is that we all swing and twist in response to the recoil. So if you trace the movement to your muzzle. It will travel upward and toward your strong side. So one idea says to put your comp on to react to rise and twist. I don't go along with that. I think our rise and twist motion is a slow reaction to the recoil. If comp is doing it job it removes the recoil before you can react to it. Therefore put them on centered.

Chuck Merriam Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I had them put a hole on the right side of the comp to push the gun into my left support hand. I wouldn't know the diff because I have only ever had this comp. So for a lefty you may want to drill the hole on the left to push toward your support hand....but I have nothing to compare to. This way you can try it straight and then drill if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 The Cooley Comp as I see it does matter on whether or not you're right or left handed (see the small hole behind the first large baffle). Whether it is or is not necessary is completely seperate. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Or...just buy the more effective F2 already set up for left hand use? Fifteen bucks cheaper, works better...at least according to Beven Grams and a host of other shooters. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Clocking a compensator is a mechanical solution to a technique problem. Work on your technique, it will make you a better shooter in the long run. Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Clocking a comp?? Wouldn't that hurt your hand?? You Feds ARE tough!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Ha! that's nothing. You should see what I can do with a rubber hose and a telephone book. Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
