Hi all, Working on my first ar build and I have a friend who is parting with a bushmaster upper with a Permanently Attached Izzy Compensator. Is this compliant with NY laws? Barrel length is 16 with compensator and no bayo lug to deal with but Im not 100% sure on exactly what to think about the compensator, Is it a muzzle brake? Thanks for any info Dirty |
it is legal, but it sucks balls. I had it before and everytime i fired a shot, a huge shockwave punches back and it felt like someone punched my face. |
Really?? That is contrary to my experience. I have one mounted on a Bushmaster 14.5" post ban 5.56 upper and one mounted on my 16" BAR10 in .308. I don't find any increase in muzzle blast over an A2 or plain barrel and find that they do a decent job of flash reduction. |
Here is a Bushmaster 14.5 inch with Izzy Brake. I like it. It probably makes it a bit louder as any brake would do, but a 14.5 inch barrel is going to be loud no matter what. No getting around that. I do not notice a big difference in blast or 'shockwave'. I would recommend it. |
You must be thinking of a Bushy Y-Comp/Mini-Y-Comp. It does exactly what you described. 
|
Oh thats right, it was the y-comp sorry hahha Yea so whatever you do, stay away from the y-comp or else this -> is what you will end up with after shooting

Keep in mind that there are Izzy brake compensators and Izzy flash suppressor compensators. www.bushmaster.com/products.asp?cat=8 |
