Does the PWS FSC556 comp/hider effect accuracy? I don't mean POI shift, I mean does it tighten or spread out groups? Thanks. I had them on two carbines both 16". One in 5.56 and the other in 5.45 and saw no change in accuracy using Russian surplus in the 5.45 or PMC 55gr, TAP 5.56 75 gr TAP and various 55gr and 75gr handloads in the 5.56. I have pulled both off because they are TOO LOUD. They were tollerable untill the gun club changed the firing line cover to all metal with no sound absobsion affair. Now they make my head rattle not to mention that one of my shooting buddies started refusing to shoot next to me. |

I'm not suprised that it makes things louder
 . Just a trade off for the effectiveness of the brake. I've seen a lot of photos of ARs w/ this brake on ar15.com . Anybody else have some say?

I sold the one that came with my SCAR for the same reason, excessive noise. I had to wear plugs and muffs to shoot it, but it was like shooting a .22 rifle, follow-up shots were very fast, the only recoil was of the action cycling.

So if you set aside noise....you see some serious results....a fellow awesome arfcomer sent me one yesterday so i guess i will know soon enough. I am excited to try it out for sure

NO, NO, NO
Installed it on my 16" carbine and i notice bearly any to no noise difference. As for accurracy, i consider this VERY good. Pulled LC M855 projectiles, irons at 50 yards. 
The FSC556 is GTG. And it makes your gun sexy looking

Its really nice if your using a higher powered optic too. When im at 9-10x i bearly have to move to get back on target. The target stays in sight the entire time. |
