I almost got one of these for my lr-308, but I want a compensator with a bit more compensation.  Looks awesome though, and who cares about comp on a 5.56?

You are right I must have lost some of my edge when I started hanging out with real live females! Thanks for pointing out that it does look more like Saurons mace than Gandalfs staff.

Gogun Talon.  I don't care about the looks, and this is heavy, but it its not as loud as most brakes, somewhere louder than a A2 but less loud than even the tamer combo brake/fhs like the XTC and FSC556, and very easy to keep on target, takes out most all recoil.

ive seen these 5 1/2 in flash hiders that DPMS makes but havent seen a pic with one on a AR. anyone have pics of these suckers actually on a rifle?
...5 1/2 inches seems a little much to me.

Those are normally permed on a SBR type barrel to make it paperwork free.

Looks like that deal is expired - they're back up to $80 for now, although Ranier Arms has posted here saying they may run another soon.  Reviews I've read on it were identical to the FSC30 as far as controllability goes, with the XTC being a bit heavier on the recoil and a bit quieter for the shooter, although most people said they didn't really notice any difference.

I still say you get the Tromix, it could be used as a bayonet in a worst case scenario!

Stick with the a1 or a2 those are great FH if you want a break get a break that works.

Most of these botique devices are simply bush and twig catchers that will always be poking holes in or tearing stuff like gun bags, car uplostry, pants, jackets, and bead spreads if you are a range shooter.

If you are a hunter or carry in wooded areas even a little most of these muzzle devices are a major hinderance.

Nothing like sticking your barrel up against some rebar, pulling the trigger, and hoping for the best...

Looks aside, sharp and pointy things on the end of a muzzle device are a good way to put holes and rips in things you'd rather have in one piece, including yourself.  Whacking something or someone with a regular flash hider works just fine.

I can see that being a pucker-inducing experience the first time you try it, but guys who've used them say they work like gangbusters.  It's actually a really, really cool piece of engineering but not of any practical use to me, along with being probably rather heavy and very expensive.

I bought a Phantom 5C2 because it looked cool, and it turned out to be a great flash hider.  It's going on another build once my can arrives (the ultimate flash hider).

that's mine. I love the looks, but I can tell you it is NOT a hider.....it makes for a nice fireball and isn't very quiet either

I have this one on several rifles... 3 ARs and 1 AK.  Great compensation / brake, and still hides flash very well.

It makes a 7.62 AK recoil like a 5.56.
