How do they also compare to the standard A2 hider? I assume you are talking about the 3T, while I have limited experience with the 3T I have the BC on 2 of my rifles (10.5 MRP and BCM 16" ML). The BC is WAY better in terms of muzzle control than the A2. I was unable to notice a difference between the 3T and BC but most people say the 3T might be a bit more effective but not by much. ETA: if money was not an issues I would get the 3T 100% just for the cool factor. The 3T costs 2.5x more but is no way close as being 2.5x as effective. |

I have been looking at both of these compensators and was wondering what your guy's thoughts were on them compared to each other? It would go on a 10" SBR. How do they also compare to the standard A2 hider? I own and shoot with both. The Battle Comp is very close to the KAC. The KAC was the first of its kind on the market, and is the first production muzzle device to use Inconel. R&D costs, the ability to use a suppressor, exotic materials and gov work keep the price of the KAC Triple Tap very high. The KAC unit was designed without cost in mind, and was originally not for civilian/ commercial sales. It was only after there was a large outcry in people wanting them that KAC decided to go ahead. Is there a market for a $430 muzzle device? Yes, there obviously is as they are usually out of stock and they sell quick when available. The Battle Comp is machined from a lower grade material, though I'll point out that just about everything is a lower grade material than Inconel, so that is not a cheap shot by any stretch. The Battle Comp is machined from Stainless Steel bar stock, and a suppressor mount variant should be available soon. The Battle Comp has been known to generate enough redirection of gasses that the weapon feels as though it is being pushed slightly downwards, as opposed to the usual up and right feel that we get when shooting typically with an AR15. At less than half the price ($150), the Battle Comp offers performance not seen by anything in its price range. It does a good job in dealing with flash, but does an impressive job in dealing with the felt recoil. More importantly, it does all of this without creating strong blasts out the sides. There are certainly a few other muzzle devices that tame flame better, and there are others that handle recoil at least as well, but not that do so without creating a massive concussion to the sides. This becomes highly important when shooting near objects, or when going into shooting positions like the "roll over prone". In the end, its like building a high performance car. If you want to go fast in the quarter mile, its going to cost you, and shaving off those last few fractions of a second is going to cost you the most. |

Hey Stick, when is your full review on the BC1.0 due? I've been keeping an eye on the thread on WeVo.
And back on topic, OP as you can see by my avatar, I love my battlecomp. Compared to an A2 it's a bit louder and definitely has more muzzle flash. The latter isn't noticible during the day at all but shooting in dark conditions with an optic can be a bit annoying. The recoil is very well reduced and works beautifully with my Spikes STT2 buffer. All in all.. GET ONE! |

Stick, I read somewhere, when they were first released, that a BC should not be used on precision builds. Since then I haven't been able to find that post. Can you comment on the BC and any affects,adverse or otherwise, it may have on on accuracy? |

Hey Stick, when is your full review on the BC1.0 due? The Battle Comp that I'm using in on one of my "Lend Lease" weapons, and is in the hands of a fellow LEO/ Firearm instructor who has been doing a bunch of shooting schools. I need to get that back, and do one last part of the testing, and then an article will go up on Military Times. Whether it gets picked up by Army Times or one of the print editions is up to an editor, but I think I'm guessing its a little too specialized for the military periodicals. I'll link to it on WEVO and give my thoughts over there also once the article is finished. |
