Blast City !!
This thing does everything people like about it & everything people complain about! Ah well, as the other reviewer said "Grow a pair & get over it. Use shooting glasses, as you are 'supposed' to." Got no complaints and nothing but praise! If you want a flat shooting AR..... This is the ticket. 'Nuff said!
Lay hate as fast as you want!
I did lots of reading before I picked up this bad boy,just a few hours ago I put a few rounds through it and have to say it is definitely night and day with recoil reduction. There is ZERO recoil. If youve shot a BB gun just imagine that but youre throwing 5.56 rounds as fast as you want. I had a separate unmodified AR with it, there is so much difference its magical, yes its spendy but its well worth it. I saw some people talk about the gas and fireballs it puts out Gas in the face- yep it does that. Put some shooting glasses on grow a pair and deal with it. Fireball and concussion- yep it does that too. If you dont like seeing a big awesome fireball or like your AR to sound like a .308/.50 then maybe you should go back to being a communist and go play with a .22 10/10 5stars would buy again
Exc recoil reduction, but with a price!
This is going to put two big .50 BMG sniper swirls of dirt debris, hot gas and noise back into your face, but the recoil and rise is reduced by close to 68%!! This is one of the most aggressive and effective brakes made, but that comes with a caveat. All that blast is going backwards and sideways. If you are on a firing line or hunting with a guide, this is NOT the brake to use!!! If you can stand a face full of dirt and debris, it works great, and off a bench, these are truly great!!!! KEEP PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE SIDE OF YOU AND YOUR GUN!!! I recommend this but NOT WITHOUT A STERN WARNING! THIS DEVICE KICKS OUT LOTS OF SIDEWAYS & BACKWARD MUZZLE BLAST! THAT IS WHY IT WORKS SO WELL! There is a trade off. It does what it does superbly well, but there is a trade off for doing that!
Dont believe the cryers
I love this comp. Rapid fire is totally possible due to the muzzle hardly moving off POA. Ive shot it A LOT off a 16 LRue, and even during rapid fire on an indoor lane I havent experienced any gas issues. The blast seems to glance off both shoulders without watery eyes and felt recoil at around 35-40% IMO. All my rifles that I dont expect will see a can will have this comp. Get it, dont let the gas in your face reviews stop you.
Awsome Muzzle Control!!
Due to popular demand I have installed a handful of these devices on AR 223. Bar none they are by far the best muzzle control device out there. They virtually eliminat muzzle movment in the 223! One thing to be aware of though is that they are reverse venting so DO NOT USE WITH EXTENDED FOREARMS THAT COVER BACK OF BRAKE or you WILL get some blowback :(
Awesome Brake!!
Awesome!! Almost no muzzle movement. Hard to believe from such a tiny device. A little concussive - not bad from behind the trigger but not good for the guy next to you.
Great recoil reductoin
Read a review on this brake and my father bought one, I waited to see it first. This brake is amazing. Recoil reduction is an understatement. I was so impressed I ordered mine as soon as I got home from the range. Yes it is loud to anyone standing nearby, and the shock-wave at the indoor range was a bit startling. But to the shooter, it is a small byproduct to the reduction of recoil. The gun barely moves and follow up shots are effortless when you have such light recoil. You also get a bast of air in the face, not sure if this was due to being at and indoor range with close side walls?
WOW!! Buy One
I saw a great video from a professional and some other Home made videos. I will tell you, it is a must have and I highly recommend it. It greatly reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise. I know 5.56 & .223 barely have any recoil but I swear it felt like I was shooting a 22LR rifle. I was truly a amazed plus there was no increase in noise or blow back for people standing or sitting next to you at a range like other muzzle brakes. If you are in 3 gun competitions buy it. Great price and easy to install. Also buy the Precision Armament Accu-Washers, they make the job so easy.
Noticeable improvement
I was skeptical until I tried it. You can feel the improvement as the muzzle rise is reduced significantly, almost to none, which allows for faster follow up shots. You can feel a bit of the concussion, which is aimed upward to the back and sides in a "V" shape, it is not bothersome, but you can feel it and notice that it actually works in directing muzzle forces in the appropriate directions to achieve its intended purpose. Installation required timing washers, as it should NOT be used with crush washers.
M4-72 SEVERE DUTY COMPENSATOR
I can't come up with any Con's. It's done everything I expected it to. I haven't fired it prone yet, but based on standing performance, I won't be disappointed. I chose the M4-72 from a review I found online of a bunch of brake/comp.s, and it fits my eye. More like a barrel extension, less like a tank. I will definitely buy another one when I build another.
