Comp question

[cold]

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:

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:

Hope this helps

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.

+100% on Rolling thunder

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

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.

Graham,

Do you want an effective muzzle brake, or something quiet? The two are mutually exclusive.

Something quiet.

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.

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.
