| Is there a difference in suppression, when using either of these methods of attachment? Specifically the Surefire suppressors. |
|
Not that I can tell.
My FA556AR came with the compensator and I purchased a brake. I tried then both on my 12.5" Noveske and could not tell any difference in suppression. I did notice less recoil with the brake so it stayed on the 12.5" and the comp. went to the MRP. |

I have the same can, and have the comp, and have heard that the break leads to different weight projectiles having vastly altered points of impact (just up and down) than through the comp. thanks |

I tried both the brake and the comp. on both rifles (12.5" and 18") with several types of ammunition, factory and handloads. I tried 77gr. Sierra and Nosler, 55gr. and 60gr V-max, and some 73gr. Berger bullets with my handloads, and for the factory loads I used 77gr. and 55gr. Blackhills reman. and some Mk262 seconds. None of my testing showed any dramatic change in POI with either of the adapters or with the suppressor. |

I'll be looking to pick one of those up, if SF ever catched up with demand. |

How did you apply the rocksett when you were installing the compensator? I've been messaging people but haven't gotten a response yet. I coated a qtip with the rocksett and applied it to the threads, the area of the barrel where the comp goes back over and the inside of the compesator as well as per surefires instructions I don't think i will ever get it off |
