Does anyone here use the DNTC Comp at all? I am looking for something other than the A2 birdcage or Phantom for my AR and thought it looked like a good way to go. What can you guys tell me about it? http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/catalog/dntcani.gif |

I love 'em. Best comp I've tried while still looking more "tactical" than "race gun". I have mine mounted on a Colt M4 and a LMT 10.5 uppers that I use for fullauto blasting on my M16. They really work on keeping the muzzle down and lightening the recoil. Blast is a tad higher, sort of like the MSTN QC - nothing nearly as bad as the dreaded Bushmaster AK74 brake. Flash - well it's not a flash suppressor - so out of the shorty you get a nice fireball and can feel a little heat; with the M4, much less so. But that's what's fun about a shorty: they are flashy, fast and loud. |

WolfiePacker, They work very well, and like flannagan_bryan pointed out, they don't look space gun. I've had another instructor run a weapon with the DNTC comp while I walked around the firing weapon (obviously not directly in front), and found that while there was a little breeze, there wasn't an increased "blast" like the Y-comp and many others. To me the actual shooting was like running a different weapon as I am able to make 25 yard double taps without any trouble. As already pointed out by another poster, the recoil seems smoother and more directly to the rear, instead of allowing the muzzle to jump up. Here are a few pictures that show it a little better.   |
i would love to know the answer to this as well. anyone have both? |

Don't own a 5C2, but I have shot a buddies AR-15 with one. It's a better flash suppressor than the DNTC but the DNTC is a better comp. On the other hand, my informal "testing" says a Vortex is a better FS than a 5C2. Alas, seems like you can't have a muzzle device that is both a good comp and FS. If you want to keep the muzzle rise down and take some of the recoil out, have something more tactical than race gun, minimally increase muzzle blast and don't need flash suppression, the DNTC is the dilly bean. Then again, with the DNTC, you can have the ultimate FS: it's a standard 22mm NATO mount for a can! |
