I just bought a new Bushmaster about a month ago, and I was wondering if the Mini Y Comp on this post-ban rifle can be removed.  I havent had a chance to shoot it yet, but are they a bad thing to have on there?  

Just curious as to if I can put something different on there.

Yes you can put something different as long as the minimum lenght is 16in.
The only good thing about the brake is at night when you get that fireball to scare people, lol.

I had a gunsmith remove mine and replace it with a Phantom flash suppressor.  The Y-comp is exceptionally loud and the gas that blows back out of it makes it unpleasant for people behind you.  
Besides all this, really the only reason it has the Y-comp on it is because of the AWB.  So I guess I also replaced it as a matter of principle.

I can't, but Steve at ADCO can...

Actually, the Mini Y is a pretty good compensator. It really is good at reducing muzzle jump.      I have one on a Bushy 30" extra HBAR I bought  and there is virtually no recoil.   It is really frickin loud though.   Mine is pinned on. Been debating on to just leave it alone or cut it off.

IIRC you have to be very careful when removing either the mini-y or AK type Bushy brakes. They pin it in such a fashion that if you're not careful you'll ruin your threading. I know, I've seen it done.
