I read a lot of negative talk all over the web about the Mini-Y being too loud. I can see this if you're siting next to someone on the line but when I'm the one doing the shooting it doesn't bother me. As long as it manages muzzle rise and recoil what's the big deal? Isn't louder better anyway for instilling fear in your enemies?

Good idea. Who cares if you're making everybody else hate life so long as it doesn't bother you. In the carbine class I took a few months ago I noticed that not only are they loud, but there's a lot of side blast. _A LOT_ of side blast. Enough to tear pieces of masonite from the barricades we were using to practice shooting around corners. You'd better hope that blast enhancer of yours instills enough fear in your enemies that they don't notice the dust cloud that is marking your position. |
Sounds like a good deal to me. I'd say they average closer to $900.00. As far as noise and blast, check out the Smith Compensator for that. |

I have mini-y comp on my Bushy 20" Yes, its loud. I'm sure there's brakes that do a better job. But shooting XM193 and M193 my muzzle hardly moves, which is good enough for me. I don't think there's a brake that will to a better job preventing muzzle climb better then the y-comp series, but it will do same job but with less decibels. Anyone know which brand that is? I'll put that on my next AR, my second, which will be built by me.

| be afraid.. be very afraid...the .223 does NOT need a muzzle brake....i have a bushy m4 w/ mini-y comp and YES IT IS TOO LOUD...but i guess i thought it looked cool at the time..WRONG...if you used this gun in a situation where you had no ear plugs, yes, your ears will bleed...but the other guy would be deaf, too.....i'm ditchin' my m-y asap..probably get some kind of faux flash hider...oh yeah- i will NEVER buy another gun w/ a muzzle-brake aka the chest rumbler. |

I just got to try out an M4gery with a MiniY comp ... I would rather pull the trigger on an AR10 than that gun because of the noise to the shooter. It was very effective though. While brakes may not be necessary, they are very nice to have and a decent one will not noticeably increase the muzzle blast. |
| Dear God in heaven that brake is loud! I know that there are breaks on the market that do as good a job (if not better) reducing muzzle rise as the mini-Y. Also the back blast is unbearable, I know in a perfect world this is not an issue, but occasionally indoor training is a necessity and then that comp just blows. |
