To compensate or to reduce flash...

+1 for Battlecomp

Considering how dirty these things can get, with cleaning in mind alone, id go pwsfsc.

For everyday target shooting (not 3 gun), carbine class, and bench shooting, do you use a loud, effective compensator, a kick***** flash hider, or stick with the good ol A2 birdie that comes stock on most rifles off the shelf?

compensator. for sho.

[GNE]

Compensator, because a flash hider turns a featureless rifle into the spawn of satan.

use a faster burning powder.

I'll never use any muzzle device that increases the sound and blast to me. If i'm in a situation where I have to use my AR I'm not going to have hearing protection on. So I get into one fire fight and now I can't hear jack****? Screw that, I need to be aware of my surrounding and hear threats. 223/5.56 is wimpy kicker anyway. A good proper hold will do more for recoil than a brake will. All my fighting rifles have a Linear Comp on them that directs the blast forward. I can shoot 30+rds of 5.56 and 7.62x39 without ears and they actually do a decent job of reducing flash too.

I'm putting a linear brake on my new coyote hunting upper. Never know when your going to snap a shot off and don't want to deafen myself. We will see how it works. I run featureless so FH is a no go.

I doubt a linear brake will be comfortable shooting without ear protection. Especially if there is an awning you are shooting under. I use the troy claymore (linear brake). It does what it is supposed too, don't think it's the best out there, but it does better than an a2. the "loud" brakes tend to be more effective.
