| I currently have a 14.5" bbl with a perm attached mini-y comp. I've been himming and hawing about sending it to ADCO and having a phantom attached instead. The comp is too loud as well as being neighbor unfriendly when shooting next to someone. How much difference in recoil/muzzle jump (although there is little from a .223 cartridge)? Should I just box it up and send it in or do I stick with the mini-y? I;ve never shot an AR except for my own so I have no idea what to expect. As far as I know there should be no trouble without it ripping off a few shots and expecting decent accuracy without it. |
| Do it and you won't look back. You won't miss the gas in the face and the noise. I did mine myself with info from this website. It's very easy and I have the same or better accuracy since the switch. You will notice a diff. in muzzle jump. The mini-y does of a good job of eliminating jump, but the difference isn't outweighed by the other drawbacks. |
| I did my own swap. You won't regret it. Send it off or do it yourself, but just do it. I got the new Phantom which has the closed bottom. It won't send up a dust cloud from prone, and it also directs the gasses upward and to the sides which has a brake effect. Much quieter and no more gas in the face of everyone else. |
