Is my Warcomp 3p acceptable or should I just get the normal 3p until funds allow for the 4 prong?

So who is rocking a fully painted CQBR but has the rail still FDE? I think I’m going to turn my 300BLK into a CQBR.
Also anyone know what color cerakote is used on the RC? |

I need to find a weekend to drink a few and spray my lower. I just know it would never come out as nice as some on here.
Is step one always to get enough liquid courage?

That’s the plan. I just can’t decide if I want to do the lower and stock(Black sopmod) or upper and lower along with the stock. Definitely know that I do not want to do the fde rail.

I say just get it over with, spray the whole thing. Maybe take off the optic if you want to but that's about it |

That's one of the reasons I wanted a 4P besides just correctness - it's really what the RC was designed for. No idea if there is any difference in wear or performance 3P vs. 4P, but I figured if I wasn't going to run a muzzle brake, I should at least have the right flash hider that aligns with the ports. Well, that and... cause 4 prong :D. |

I do remember those pics. I know the ports don't line up with the mouse holes on a 3p, but I thought mouse holes were more of a way to relieve back pressure as the bullet exits. If that is the case, then I wouldn't think it would be too much different. I'll have to look back to see if there are any pics of dissected rc's. I would almost venture to say the mouse holes/ ports would be less eroded with a 3p as the gasses aren't directed at the holes. Unless they are, just in an off way, then I could see more erosion.

No expert on baffle design, but it seems to me that as the pressurized gas expands into the pre-blast baffle chamber area, it has five pathways into the baffle stack - through the bore or into one of the four ports on the blast baffle. Without those ports, any gas that didn't follow into the bore would be redirected as back pressure; the ports just allow some of that pressure to be relieved into the baffle stack. If so, it would stand to reason that having the gaps on the 4P aligned to the ports on the blast baffle would just help guide the gas along the path of least resistance (i.e. into one of the four ports).

Thank god DD wisened up on their port sizing. Not that I use DD bbls on clones thus far pre URG-I.....but I am a believer in CHF so that will change once the 10.3 URG-I is released |
