Muzzle brake recommendations for featureless AR build

[Gundam]

What do you guys recommend for a comp for a featureless AR15 build? As much as I would like to go with the battlecomp, the $150 is just too steep. My budget is $100 or less. Recoil reduction for follow up shots takes priority, then concussion/blast. I don't want to annoy the piss out of fellow shooters.

PWS TTO - MSRP is right at $100, you can find them cheaper online though.

JP Bennie Cooley, someone has one (NEW) for $75 shipped in the private sale section.

If your spending about $100 anyhow, what is another $50. The BC seems pretty cool. You may wish you bought it after the fact.

Looking for the same thing. Need a compensator for a featureless build. I plan to use a Sabre 14.5 barrel, so I'll need the comp attached permanently. Looking at 3 different comps:

Rainer Arms XTC:


Primary Weapons FSC556:


Battle Comp 1.5:


I'm leaning hard towards the Rainer Arms XTC. It is half the cost of the Battle Comp, and I've heard good things about it. Actually heard good things about the 3 listed here. I just need to find out if Rainer can remove a permanent muzzle device on a 14.5 barrel and install their comp. BTW, all pics linked are from Rainer's site.

Pretty sure the first 2 on your list are comp/flash suppressors. The fins at the end are for suppressing flash. They may not be listed as one but I wouldn't take the chance.

YHM Phantom Aggressive End Comp

I like mine so far.

This. I wouldnt risk putting those on with the flash hider cuts. From what I've read, the TTO performs like the FSC without the flash hider fins at the tip.

I have one on a SU-16CA and I like it. Looks good too.

Yep, the PWS TTO is pretty much the FSC556 without the flash suppressing tines.

Not sure what the "fins" have to do with anything.

Primary Weapons has written documentation from the Federal BATF that the FSC556 is classified as a non-flash suppressing device:

This has been discussed many times before.

What BATFE has to say doesn't matter. How CADOJ sees it is what matters. Both the FSC556 and Rainier XTC have flash suppressing capabilities due to those tines at the end and they're marketed as having flash suppressing abilities. The current interpretation is that using either of those on a featureless build is extremely risky.

^^ agree.

The Battlecomp is ALSO open to potential felony creation of an assault weapon prosecution if used on a featureless build.

I have the yhm muzzle break and its loud as hell with a nice concussion to it. I would get the todds tinny one.

Its made by pws and its a pws fsc556 with the tongs cut off. It does a great job and the concussion is not bad at all. It costs $100 though. I would just spring for the battlecomp if i had to buy another.
