I have a dd mk18 10.3 barrel I’m looking for a comp I’m using it for lawenforcement I was looking at battlecomp , gunfighter, and noveski pig I want something that will shoot pretty flat and not kill people in stack or next to me.
I’ve not used it but this gets good reviews:

ETA: Above is a comp with flash suppression properties. Here is a thread on a flash suppressor with comp properties:
I have the Griffin M4SDII on my 16" middy and absolutely love it. I’ve never seen it run on an SBR, but it definitely keeps the muzzle flat for quick follow-up shots, and the concussion/ noise isn’t bad at all. Not sure how well it would keep the flash down on a 10" barrel though.
Using the search button will reveal a few threads on this.
If you are not going suppressed, the gunfighter is the least offensive.
That griffins looks nice I guess I should have mentioned there is a chance of going suppressed that’s why I was looking at the battlecomp I’ve even considered surefire but I’ve heard it’s rough in a stack due to side blast I’m completly new to suppressed do I need to modify a dd mk18 upper or will it run suppressed from factory? And what do you guys think about the gentec halo
I’m running a Griffin on my 11.5 BCM and will be mounting it on my new 16" build. It works as advertised if not better and I get a kick of punishing my squad mates who are next to me on line. But I find the concussion to be to much if not distracting on my SBR and will be installing a BCM Mod 0. Take it with a grain of salt, if it works for you awesome, just my personal preference. Stay safe.
I know the BC is currently the Flavor of the Month but I like the Griffin Armament unit far better. I sold the BC1.0 shortly there after. Everyone I have talked to that has owned both all say they like the Griffin better. Spikes Dynacomp is also one that I want to try.
Both the BC and the GA are excellent, I also prefer the Griffin.
The Dynacomp is out classed by these 2 devices IMO.
If your plans to go suppressed change the noveski pig is a good flash hider. Especially for stacks, most of the blast is projected foreward. It is a bit heavy but does an exclent job of controlling flash and blast for your team.
I’ve talked to the guys at battle comp they are all cops and are awesome guys they said its ideal for law enforcement that’s what it was made for plus I’m looking at the gentec halo anyway so I ordered the 2.0 ill let you guys know what I think when it gets here if not it will be for sell and ill prolly check the griffin out lol
Lets be realistic here…how many times per week do you find yourself “in stack”? Be truthful here.
Because honestly, I’ve never been killed by a rifle’s concussion. Just saying.
well for one I was not meaning for real kill, I was being sarcastic and im in a stack in training once a week so it is a big deal
I would get a Troy Claymore, Noveske PIG, or one of those BrakeShields for the AAC or YHM Brake.
Something that projects the blast forward.
The Battelcomp is still gonna piss off your buddies next to you.
This post is of interest to me because I’m currently trying to decide on a FH to pin to a SR-15 14.5 upper.
I’ve considered the following:
- KAC 5.56 MAMS (couple of month/indeterminate wait and a bit pricey)
- Griffin M4SD-II Flash Comp (seems fairly similar to the MAMS, inexpensive as compared to a MAMS and available)
- KAC NT4 FH (can get to 16.1 w/ just a shim, small and lightweight but also not in stock)
I would welcome any feedback regarding the above configurations…
I’ve seen some Battle Comps and they seem to provide a good balance of muzzle control vs noise.
I can tell you with certainty not to use a Dreadnaught F2. At least not for an entry gun, mine has enough blast to scour the paint off of a wall (no joke) and is absurdly loud. Shoots nice and flat though, and allows me to spot my own hits at 15X magnification on a prairie dog town.
Just curious if your department allows the use of a suppressor, that would seem to be the ticket on an SBR.
If side blast is your utmost worry the Pig does a fantastic job of alleviating it. Last year my buddy stood beside me all day long at a carbine class with his 7.5" SBR w/the Pig mounted.
Didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary the entire class. That impressed me as I had never been beside one while being fired until then.

You’re running a 10.3 and you don’t want to blow out the fillings in your buddies teeth? I think the Noveske may be your only option. A suppressor would obviously be the best answer here though. If your department has no issues with a 10.3" barrel they probably wouldn’t care about a suppressor either.
That was my experience as well. I tried the BattleComp for a few weeks and didn’t care for it…nor did those around me.
i would say you don’t want a compensator at all. Your rifle is meant for work not gaming. Any muzzle brake you have substantial concussion even some to a degree like you said it can be defremential to you or some one in your team. i would say stick with a A2 or if your runnin a suppressor, a flash suppressor mount. also stay away from 4 and 3 prong “tunning” fork flash hiders. i promise you the little added recoil is worth not messing with your teammates consecration and attention.
That’s pretty horrible advice.
The open end flash hiders are some of the most effective. Well, not some of, they are the most effective.
Brakes have a place on short barrels when used with a suppressor. The brake will take the brunt of the escaping gas, instead of you $1k suppressor, limiting the erosion on the baffles.
An AR15 with a 10.3" barrel fired close is going to suck no matter what, especially if its done indoors.
The Noveske was designed for added back pressure in the firing of short barrel AR15s.
