Battlecomp

Anyone have any experience with Battlecomp compensators for AR rifles?

Love mine. It's mediocre at dampening recoil and flash hiding (think FSC556) but is amazing at keeping the muzzle on target. Also the concussion isn't even close to an FSC556 or 5C2.

I have BattleComp 1.0's on three of my AR's. I had an FSC556 previously, and although it did a pretty good job of controlling muzzle rise on followup shots, it was a noisy thing with a lot of blast. The BattleComp in my experience does about the same job of controlling muzzle rise but with noticeably less noise and blast.

It's not magic. The advantage that it provides for me is better muzzle control on multiple shots. I suppose it mitigates recoil to some degree, although the AR15 isn't a punishing weapon by any means. I do think that controlling recoil to the extent possible does make for a more controllable weapon. Certainly training plays a role in that, but anything I can add on top of training, such as an A5 system, mid-length gas, or a compensator (I have all three on my Light Recce) is a plus IMHO.

Thanks guys

By far the best single accessory you can put on a carbine. I have used a myriad of comps and brakes, and the BC is far and away the best. Most of my shooting involves rapid fire shooting with failure drills, box drills and NSRs, as well as multiple shot engagement shooting at ranges of 50yds and greater. Again, great muzzle control with virtually no movement.

good info, my closet rifle needs something better than an A2.

I'm of the opinion it's an overpriced accessory that performs virtual the same as other compensator like Carlson Mini Comp.

You've owned one, then? Actually shot one on your rifle?

Carlson minicomp is an over-glorified A2 birdcage. It has 180 deg of blast release, whereas that BC has ~270 degrees with a different geometry. If you had said "Spikes DynaComp", it would have made sense. To me, it's nothing like the Carlson. Different design has a different dynamic.

Of course different designs have different dynamics. In the case of most muzzle breaks, compensators, and barrel attachments; those overall differences tend to be aesthetic in nature between similar products. Gas is escaping the end of the barrel and there is only so much you can do with it. Then again I'm sure a lot of folks disagree with me. I'll let them diddle with their Ares Armor tunable compensator while I shake my head.

Sorry can't answer that...you know OPSEC and all. To answer you though. No I haven't owned one. Actually yes, but not on my rifle.

I have a Bravo Company 14.5" BFH with a pinned 1.5 Battlecomp. Don't have a ton of rounds on it yet but I like it so far. Seems to allow follow-up shots a tiny bit faster. Not sure it is worth the cost but I am happy with it.
