cold Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Mike,Before the "flaming pig" was introduced Noveske was taking AK47 Krink style brakes and retro fitting them for use on the AR15. One of the origional comm-block versions can be seen in this pic: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-3/1159284/P4230125b.jpg ... From what I'm told, once the supply dried up he went into production of his own version the flaming pig. As was pointed out earlier, the device wasn't ment for reducing muzzle flip, it was for redirecting the gases and blast away from the shooter on a short barreled rifle. At half a pound and adding 2.75" to the overall length of the barrel, it has a very narrow application: 03designgroup | Noveske KX3 and Barrel Length Considerations The muzzle brake from the Mapgul videos is a Knights Armament Triple Tap. It was effective for it's size, big draw back is the price tag. I found that the Surefire 556k muzzle brake was more effective at reducing muzzle flip: 03designgroup | Knights Armament Company (KAC) Triple Tap Muzzle Brake Hope this helps Good to see you here.

1911vm Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 For tac, Rolling thunder hands down. Don't bother screwin around with anything else. There is a reason why the best 3-gunners in the world use them. M +100% on Rolling thunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 For a non "Competition only" comp I like the PWS TTO. It is actually shorter than a std A2. It works well for the size(not as well as the competition comps), isnt near as loud either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 One thing I rarely see mentioned in regards to compensators is noise. It's my understanding that the nature of a compensator results in increased noise. My question is, are there breaks or flash suppressors that actually reduce the noise? Not reduce noise as in a suppressor, so much, but redirect it away from the shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The quietest, with out a suppressor, will be either a plain crown, or a flash supressor. A comp of any design will deflect the noise in the direction of the shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 There are several that work great but like Jim said, personal preference is a big part of it. I've shot the Rolling Thunder, I like it. I've shot the JP, I like it too. I settled on the F2, I like it a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
