My second AR is getting close to being finished and I'm looking into muzzle devices.
While I appreciate the concern, this is going to be a hunting rifle, and I won't be wearing hearing protection for that. On the range, always, but not in the woods.
The factory A2 flash hider was unbearable to shoot, and a standard brake was even worse.
I recently finished a 300 BLK conversion that I only used a thread protector on, and it wasn't bad to shoot at all.
So, for those that have tried a linear compensator on a 5.56, how does it compare to a thread protector? Worth the extra cost?
