CaseyJ Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 The first question you have to ask yourself is does the gun shoot in it's current configuration? and how well MOA? 1/2 MOA?? If it shoots well DO NOT CUT THE BARRELL!!! I know quite a few people that had a great shooting gun that would shoot 1/2 moa or so and then the decided the barrel was too lond and Voilla the now have a gun that shoots barely 2 MOA is the lost weight worth ruining your accuracy? If it shoots like crap then don't worry that much and go with an F2 comp or a Bennie Cooley, I have heard that the F2 is the best one you can get and it is the same price as the cooley. You can get them at Flatland forge, do a google and ebay search you will find them. Happy Shooting and I hope this Helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Cutting your barrel shouldn't reduce accuracy unless you used a sawzall or something. The crown is very important. I haven't used one, but Benny Hill's rolling thunder comp seems to be well liked and I'll bet he could make your barrel whatever length you want as well. Nothing like one-stop shopping.

gotm4 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 If you're going to get an AR barrel cutdown use Randall Rausch at www.ar15barrels.com He's cut two of mine, one (a Noveske) 14.5" to 13.7" and another (a LMT) 14.5" to 10.3" he rethreaded both concentrically to the bore and put a target crown on both and opened up the gas ports. Both shoot quite a bit more accurately than then had before. His prices are very good and turnaround time is usually about 2 weeks or less. He cut a co-workers 20" stainless barrel to 18" and I reassembled the upper, at 18" it shoots .220" groups at 100yds with 60gr BH V-MAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I would recomend Benny for the whole job. I don't think there is a brake as good as a rolling thunder out there, the F2, and Cooley brakes come darn close, but I think the Roller is the best!

PacMan Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 ...I don't think there is a brake as good as a rolling thunder out there, the F2, and Cooley brakes come darn close, but I think the Roller is the best! KURTM I was amazed at how soft my 16" middy shoots with the rolling thunder comp, even when compared to my 20" JP. However, it is heaviest of all the brakes I own. Benny, can you put it on a "fat free" diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtdShooter Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Doug Jones at Acc-U-Rail builds a great comp. Give him a call at (248) 852-6490 and ask him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rolling Thunder on my M-4 (yes it's here in Afghanistan with me) is suweeet! They hate it on the range but I like torturing others.

bigbrowndog Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 hey, USC. If you can get some pics of the comp in Afstan, on duty, if benny doesn't take them and the comp and give you an new one, i'll pay for a new one just to let Benny have it with the pics.

LtdShooter Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 If anyone has been around long enough to remember the comp that McDonald used to build, Doug Jones is similar but more effective. Give him a call you will be happy you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDave Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Is Benny's comp less than 3"x1"??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 If your AR has a heavy barrel most of the comps wont match the dia. Send your barrel to Benny, he will cut it, crown it and match the dia. of the comp and barrel, looks seamless. And it is the best comp out there.-------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotm4 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 DNTC from Rainier....Dave Neth Tactical Comp There's even a group buy over at AR15.com with some video links as well. I'm currently running a AKConcepts DNTC (Dave Neth Tactical Comp) which works extremely well. If give a little more muzzle rise than my old Bennie Cooley comp but I can shoot it much faster because it's easier to figure out when to pull the trigger again because I can see the reticle rise and fall (very slight) which is much like shooting a Limited/Production pistol vs. an Open gun. The Cooley just wandered the reticle around like an Open gun does, which for me is harder to predict when to shoot again and slows me down a little.

Merlin Orr Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 With my comp, there is no rise & fall of the muzzle, only a flat picture through the scope. It does not get out of the head of a target at 50 yds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
