Hey guys i am thinking of running this barrel, i like the price and have been recommended by some guys. https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=2267. also im looking for a decent muzzle brake for a decent price. I have to stay MA legal so i was looking at these.http://www.carlsoncompsinc.com/Mini_Comp.htm or this YHM phantom comp http://yankeehillmachine.com/store/muzzle.html.
Thanks
Need to define “good price” for us so we can give you good advice bro.
Alot of the shooters on here seem to be going with either the PWS FSC556 or the BattleComp
PWS:$99.95

BattleComp $149-$159 depending on model

They’re pricey compared to the examples you’ve shown but, they’re superior examples of their class of muzzle device.
I’ve personally installed over 100 of these in the last couple of years but, I haven’t had an order for the battlecomp yet. Everyone who has one has raved… but I’m not much of a joiner.
Might have to get one and give it a try 
The problem is i live in wonderful MA and this state blows. So anything that has the possibility of being called a Flash suppressor is illegal. The two i threw out are ones i know are MA legal. i have a miculek type on my stag and i like how it functions but it looks horrible. plus i would like to try something else. i would like to stay under 80 if possible. I like the Troy Claymore too.
The pws is considered a brake, so you would be fine. I have one, they work well…
I would check out whiteoak armament. I have one of ther 18" spr barrels. Great choice for the money.
Also, for a barrel look into Centurion Arms
If it’s legal, go with the BattleComp 1.0. I have one and there is the finest muzzle device I’ve ever used.
BC is a California approved muzzle brake & compensator. Not sure what that means in MA, though.
The Battle Comp is a brake (I think they have a expert determination), and it’s a really good one. I second the motion regarding Centurion Arms barrels. They’re top notch.
I avoided the entire mess of worrying about what parts I could have here in NY by purchasing pre-ban lowers (that were complete guns), and just built them the way I wanted to. I paid more, but at least now I can shoot comfortably in a t-shirt and a jacket withthe same gun by merely adjusting the “evil” stock. That could be an option for you.
Who manufactures the Rainier Barrel? I like the barrel a lot and am now considering one. I would just like to know who actually manufactures that barrel.
