Need help choosing a muzzle comp for <$100

PWS FSC556
Troy Claymore
Troy Medieval
Levang Linear Comp

Looking for something to replace my standard A2 flashhider. Want something to manage recoil to help followup shots, and directing muzzle blast away from me.
I have a DelTon 16" barrel, I assume the .5X28RH threading is standard for M4 style barrels?

Thoughts and inputs, especially if you own one of these very much appreciated.

All of the ones listed are great.  Of the list pick out the one the looks the best.  IMO.

Yankee Hill Machine has there Phantom 5c2 that are also nice and I have heard good things out of.  They are cheap to boot.


**Edit**
Just looked at the Levang Linear Comp  and I am not a fan of the styling.(i also know nothing about it)  But if it functions then go for it. Looks can't kill.

unfortunately, I have no experience with any of these... Right now, I'm wondering if what the FSC556 has over the other ones that makes it worth twice as much...

The only brake I have installed is a JP Enterprises Bennie Cooley brake. I don't know how it compares to those you've listed, but it is quite effective.

Ross Schuler brake.  $40.00 shipped in either stainless or carbon steel.  Custom diameters available.  He has an ad on EE.

Thanks for the input guys. I actually just made a purchase on Ebay for a PWS FSC556 Quickcomp (G5) for $66 shipped. At the price, I couldn't resist. Will report back once I get it onto my rifle.

If it doesn't work as I like, I might just get that Ross Schuler... Looks almost like that JP break.

I've done a review of the TROY CLAYMORE & LEVANG

You will be happy with the FSC556 but THIS brake is a better comprimise between the three.

Just make sure it's not airsoft

Hope not, he has 100%+ feedback though, so shouldn't be too big of a problem.

any idea how a FSC556 stacks against a KX3 by the way?

Edit: nevermind, found some reviews on the net that says the KX3 is more a FH, than a comp

what comp does the military use on the SPR? (must be the best - right?)

No clue, but the SJC titan is getting some great reviews.

What does the military use for SPR? And wouldn't an SPR break be different from a M4 build?

Military SPRS use the ops inc brake and collar for the ops suppressor.

Out of the ones you listed, the FSC556 will be the only one that will actually help significantly with muzzle rise. The others are designed to direct gases forward.

Any muzzle device that reduces muzzle rise or recoil will increase the blast you feel with the exception of suppressors. Some work better than others.

The SJC titan is a monster. It's the best brake I've ever used, but it's also the loudest.

This why we double plug at rifle matches.  Esp when solid walls are near.

Get some data........Then make an educated choice based on your own needs and budget!

I use a JP Bennie Cooley and absolutely love it, there is no muzzle jump whatsoever, but that could also be because of the 18 inch bull barrel i have on there
