need your recommendation/s for muzzle options

[AR-Sniper]

Hey guys newbie here. 

 

im looking to get a new muzzle brake or something that will reduce my recoil and maybe barrel climb. 

 

i currently have a YHM flash hider.

i ordered a heavy buffer from heavybuffers.com

i been reading a lot of your older posts and following along for a month or so.

to better educate my self. those the reason i decided to just order it and try it out.

 

lets not have the price of a muzzle device be a factor. i want pure performance.

something that does great with recoil and muzzle climb. just to be more on the spot for a follow up shot. would be a plus if it is not over board in other categories such as flash and the loud factor. that is not a big deal but would be nice

 

a few i been looking at that i like. but want your opinion on.

-Battle comp

-PWS

-JEC

just a few names that i have heard one or 2 guys recommended. 

 

what would you recommended? doesn't have to be the 3 i listed just what would you get and why?

 

keep in mind this is for precision long range shooting. to be accurate at 100-1000 yards mostly the longer ranges though.

 

this is my setup now

-troy free float hand guard (lowpro gas block)

-16" 1.10 twist barrel (will be getting a custom made 18" 1.10 twist barrel from John Benjamin, highly recommended by a lot of guys in OR and WA.)

-Geissele SSA-E trigger

-magpul PRS Stock

-bcm charging handle

-osprey scope (temporary until i can afford a better one)

-ergo grip with shelf

-atlas bypod

im pretty sure the rest is from DPMS as far as internals go.

 

im pretty sure im ether missing some other things or that is all. 

but im sure this is more then enough to give you a idea of what im working with.

For that set-up, i recommend the JP Enterprise "Cooley" brake or Tank brake.

 

 

If you were looking for the faster follow-up shots for something like a combat piece or 3-gun, i ALWAYS suggest the BABC.

Any thoughts on this one?

Robocop is right about the JP Enterprise "Cooley" brake--you'd want the large one--but be prepared, it will knock your hat off your head when you fire. The JP Enterprise "Tank" brake (JP Recoil Eliminator) could be better in that regard but one of their reps told me the shooter concussion is basically the same for both brakes.

[AR-Sniper]

D.R.D im checking reviews on that now. looks good so far.

 

and RoboCop, i trust your advice, i read a few other recomindations you made to another member a while back i was reading on getting the heavybuffer for recoil reduction for the .308. i ordered one. should be in this week. so thank you for that :)

after doing some searching of the JP one you recomended im leaning more on the battlecomp one.

just to keep the option open for 3d as well. i shoot at the range to sight in so i think that would be more respectful then the JP.

 

any others i may want to look in to? so far im leaning on 

1) battleComp BABC

2) Griffen M4SD II (but for a .308)

3) ...

There's always Spike's Dynacomp - $100+ less than the BABC with the same performance.

 

 

I have a cheapie $30 cooley-style brake on my 308 and it works well. Been dragging my ass in making my own comp.

 

 

On the 300AAC, I'm using this guy for around $35:

 

 

Yes, I'm a cheap ass, but they work as advertised. :D

Bubbasks and I have had the opportunity to play around with a decent amount of .308 muzzle devices (I'm waiting for a new 120fps camera to finish our comparison). Of the comps we've gone through I like the Griffin Armament 7.62 Flash Comp and the PWS FSC 30 the most. The BABC was definitely an improvement over an A2-style comp, but was a bit more difficult to control due to a noticeable downward push. It's also a lot more expensive than the GA or PWS.

If you're looking primarily for recoil mitigation though (impulse straight back into you), grab a brake! Just be advised other people around you won't be very happy (I avoid shooting next to people with Surefire 7.62 brakes like the plague!). If you want something that will mitigate muzzle movement and not be as punishing to those around you, go for a comp.

AAC Brakeout. I run these with the CAR10-XH buffer setups from heavybuffers on my 10 SASS, two different 10 16" carbine's, and my 10 12" SBR. I also run them on my 5.56 guns also. Part is for the QD for the can, the other is for recoil without it. These things are nice, even if you didn't need them for the suppressors.

[Robocop1051]

The BABC has quite a bit of side concussion as well. Not as bad as the Cooley, but still present. Farkle is always whining about how loud my BABC comp is :binkybaby:

 

The BABC is not a brake, and doesn't eliminate recoil much. It does however, completely extinguishes any muzzle rise. If you want to reduce felt recoil, I have to point back to the JP again.

 

 

 

PS.

 

There's always Spike's Dynacomp - $100+ less than the BABC with similar performance.

 Fixed it for you brother B)

I forgot about the PWS FSC30!!!! That is an awesome jack-of-all-trades muzzle device. I put one on a 7.62x39 build, and it kicks ass!!! Super affordable and it does everything pretty damned well.

PWS FSC eh? hmmmm ... should look into that.

I have their compensator on my 20" barrel. It is fantastic and written up elsewhere in these pages under S.I. Defense build.

PRI brake works great on my 20", I will have to take another photo of it, because it was lost on my hard drive on my other PC took a dump.

 

 

Smith Enterprises on my 16" also works great.

[FaRKle!]

Farkle is always whining about how loud my BABC comp is :binkybaby:

I'm always whining about your .223 BattleComp. The .308 one is much tamer.

[AR-Sniper]

i guess i will hold of on buying one for now. ill wait until my heavy buffer comes in and shoot with it this weekend and see then do i need more recoil reduction or a comp for muzzle rise.

 

thanks for your help guys lots to think about

Just wait till I put the BC v2.0 on that 11.5" BCM!!

I've got one of those on my DPMS 308. We were shooting it at the Casa Grande range Tuesday (covered firing line) and after a while we were the only ones left! :ugone2far: <dontknow> <lmao>

I tried a bunch of different brakes including the JP and found the POF brake reduced recoil and muzzle rise the best.  'Course once I started killin' pigs at night I switched to the Smith flash hider.  Here's a link to the POF .308 brake.

Which JP brake was that? If it was the Cooley, they have it in two sizes. The large size is not 'legal' for most shooting competitions (the 1x3 rule), but does an excellent job at handling recoil and rise.

Tried both in .556 and they both work good.  I bought the large by mistake before I realized it wasn't legal.  Then bought the small.  In .308, I tried one (can't remember which) but the POF was better.  The three chambers of the POF have different size holes for the bullet to pass through regulating the amount of gas that gets redirected in each chamber.

Take a look at the Precision Armament M11 Brake. I bought one and like it alot, also have a Slash heavy buffer. Nice piece of machining and research behind it.

[PasoGunner]

I just ordered an Aklys Defense MOJO Magnum for my LR308. I'll let you know. It's not one I've seen before and they are making me a one off to remove the external can threads since I live in KommieFornia

Ding ding ding we have a winner.. I too run these I have them on every rifle they flat out work.. no muzzle climb and a good flash hider as well...

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!  AGAIN?!!?

 

I'm about to blow out an ass-gasket here.
