I am looking for a compensator to put on a carbine length AR with a 16" barrel. I have store credit for BCM, so I am limited to their selection. I am leaning towards the PWS FSC556
Here is the link to their options: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Flash-Hiders-and-Compensators-s/43.htm Any suggestions? |

I haven't tried the BCM Gunfighter, so based on your choices, I vote Surefire. I used to own the PWS556 and quickly sold it. It was obnoxiously loud, a PITA to install with the peel washer, and I didn't notice much difference in recoil compensation.
I now have a Surefire Procomp 556 brake on a 16" midlength and it is the bee's knees. On recoil the gun pushes straight back into your shoulder, and the barrel does not jump up. I don't perceive it to be any louder than an A2 flash hider. When shooting I can feel a slight percussion with the 16" barrel, but I haven't stood next to someone shooting it so I don't know how disturbing it is to others. It is beautifully machined and finished with the Melonite coating. The only downside for me is the lack of flash compensation, so I am looking forward to the upcoming Warcomp. Good luck. |
