Do you want a brake for a flash hider? For brake the brake battle comps are nice and flash hiders I only run the vortex I love them!

I don't know anything about the Fortis Rev, but damn it looks cool.  Thinking about trying to pick one up for one of the rifles around here.

 



The Seekins SAR is pretty sweet, and still has a reasonably large inside diameter if that's your thing... which it sounds like it's not for this build.




Sorry... I'm not much help.  Good luck.

I just finished one with the same barrel.  Samson EVO 12.37 covers the mid-length gas block well.  I also went with the Battlecomp 1.0. Very light.

what should i look at for a gas block
also you have any pictures of the setup?
How is the battlecomp is it worth the price tag

Gas block is entirely up to you.  Just make sure it is .625 diameter.

Pic of my build

Since I know the build list questions will follow:

Armalite lower
PSA LPK with Giessele SSA
Emod stock, grip and Tango Down VFG.  VFG cut down and blended by my friend.
Aeroprecision upper
locally sourced BFG
PSA 16" pencil profile mid-length barrel
BCM gas block and tube
Samson EVO 12.37" Rail
Magpul gen2 MBUS
---ETA Battlecomp 1.0---
I have my M3 to mount as well but it wasn't in this pic.  The sling mount on the rail is Samson's QD mount.  Very low profile.  Not sure I like the placement so it may get moved.  VTAC padded sling also not in pic.

Hope this helps.
