I’m looking to get some thoughts on a muzzle device to have pinned on my DD M4. It currently has a YHM Phantom flash hider pinned, but it will have to be removed for installation of a low pro gas block for a 13” Troy Alpha rail. The original FSB was removed a couple of years ago to install a clamp on type flip up front sight.
Here’s the background… In addition to shooting holes in paper, I’ll be using this rifle for tactical carbine shoots at a local gun club (5-200 yd targets) and hopefully to take a carbine class next year. It sits in the front of the gun safe and would be the rifle I’d grab if I ever had to… hopefully that day will never come. For longer range shooting, my other AR has an 18” WOA SPR barrel with a Rainier Arms XTC. That thing shoots like a dream without hardly any recoil or muzzle rise. However, it’s pretty loud and has considerable blast if standing beside it. I’d like to try to get as much of that feel with the DD M4. I know I won’t get all the way there (carbine vs rifle gas, 14.5” vs 18”barrels …). I’d also like to keep the noise, blast, and flash to a manageable level. I don’t want to be the guy no one wants to shoot beside…
On my short list of muzzle devices were the Battle Comp 1.5, Dynacomp Extreme, PWS FSC556… I’m actually very interested in the PWS Triad that I had read some interesting reviews of. If it would help keep the muzzle down and on target without the normal concussion of a comp I can live without a lot of recoil reduction. I don’t have an opportunity to shoot a rifle with these muzzle devices on them, so I was looking for some good advice from people that have. Or maybe there is something that my better suit my needs…
I’ve read endless threads about the best comps but still haven’t been able to decide… so I thought I’d give you a little background and ask for some opinions. Thanks for the help…
