First off... is there a diffence in a muzzlebreak or a comp? or is it just different names? I'm in the market to put a muzzle break/comp to reduce the recoil on my Colt MT6601 20" HBAR... Any recommendations on to brand/style? I dont care about the loudness, looks, color finish or price (well, maybe a little on looks  ). I just want one that is of good guality and will serve its purpose to the fullest.... I'll take any comments (pros, cons) or recommendations. NO JP PRODUCTS

FSC556 by PWS http://primaryweapons.com/store/pc/catalog/FSC556_L_1.jpg Some one please correct me if Im wrong, but my understanding is that a muzzle break reduces felt recoil, while a compensator reduces muzzle rise. |
I assume if a comp is for muzzle rise then that might not be what I need (that would be for quick target aquisition... JUST A WILD GUESS ). What I want is to be more accurate... I hear the less recoil the more accurate the shot... with that in mind what would it be a comp or break?

| The less recoil a rifle has, the smaller chance you have of flinching before the next shot. Reducing recoil doesn't (to my understanding) make a rifle anymore mechanically accurate that it already is. Have you tried installing a match trigger instead? A lot less chance of you moving the gun while pulling the trigger, which in turn would make you more accurate. |

I have to say that I am wicked happy with my YHM aggressive comp. In reviewing videos of my shooting, the muzzle basically doesn't move at all. It's awesome. http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc282/shruggerxd/Zombie%20Killer/137.jpg http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc282/shruggerxd/Zombie%20Killer/126.jpg |
I do have a somewhat better trigger. I bought a new Colt lower to go with my MT6601 20" HBAR upper. I dont know the lowers model # but here is what the invoice reads: LE W/ INTERNALS... COLT L/E ONLY RECEIVER W/ INTERNALS "COLT'S LAW ENFORCEMENT CARBINE" 1 499.00 499.00T SA06005 HAMMER, LOW MASS (0.170) 1 52.50 52.50T 64224 HAMMER SPRING, LIGHT (SPK94774) BLUE 1 8.00 8.00T I will not be doing any rapid firing, I will take my time in between shots. I will be mostly at a bench, rarely standing. I will be shooting 50-200 yards. I will only be using the A2 sights. Noise will not be an issue where I shoot. I still firmly believe that the less my rifle moves after/while pulling the trigger, the better results I will see. I have seached for some and hoping you guys can help me choose or recommend another one. All based on the above info. Thanks!! 1. Rainer Arms..

MSB392, This is the best compensator available today. I know, cause I designed it.  Here is the 308 version. (Ignore the machine marks, this was a pic of the original prototype. The production version has no marks.)  Here is some video of the comp in action. Notice how flat it is in relation to the horizon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOjqwd6Ea-Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5E5ovU6j4g You can purchase them at SJCguns.com, under the AR section.

The 9mm buffer was the BEST thing to help my AR15 I Have a LMT M4 14.5 with PHANTOM closed Bottom Flash Hider SOME SAY THEY ACT LIKE A COMP/BRAKE I myself dont care. The Shooting off my RANGE BAG the BARREL DOESNT JUMP UP like it use to! Makes for very Fast Follow up shots! I have a Back Up LMT M4 14.5 + phantom 4slot and a H buffer You can tell the Difference MIGHT Try a ENDINE for a RIFLE |
If I had to have one it would be # 6 Then #2 |

I like how the QC compensates for the 2:00 direction toward which the muzzle normally jumps. I think Flatland also does that, but would likely be much louder...then again you said that doesn't matter where you shoot. If I had your parameters, I wouldn't buy before seriously checking out the FF. Also maybe poke around at Brian Enos' three gun forum. I would be interested to know if your hypothesis is true: that recoil reduction will assist in accuracy. |

Has anyone shot the QC vs. FC556 under controlled comparison: back-to-back, similar guns? Based on availability, price, and function, I think that would be good info to know. I would expect the FC to do better controlling flash, and the QC better for countering the 2:00 upward muzzle jump and maybe a little quieter

I saw this on the Bushmaster FAQ section: Does the AK muzzle brake affect accuracy? In our experience, the most accurate muzzle is the post-ban crowned muzzle. Many competition and target shooters we have talked with confirm this. As the bullet leaves the muzzle, you want - for greatest accuracy - to have no alteration of, or influence on, the bullet's flight. With an 11 degree competition crown, the gases behind the bullet flow out in an even pattern of dispersal at the instant that bullet exits the barrel. This affords the least chance of disrupting that bullet path. Thats what I felt...You line up your scope... You can be as still as you want, holding the gun as tight as possible, get your breathing right...But when you pull that trigger the riffle is going to jump..Which IMO will throw the bullet off the intended path a bit. |
