AR flash hider/comp/muzzle brake preferences? What do you run?

[Titanium_Frost]

One not mentioned here but I run on a 5.56 and .308 AR is the Jerry Miculek style brake. It is the biggest brake you can run in the Tactical divisions of Multigun/IPSC/USPSA style rifle competitions and works really, really well with not being super duper loud to those around you.

It did tear up the mat/paper targets I was shooting from the bench on though, so prone in the dirt is going to get messy lol.

I used to always buy vortex flash suppressors until I realized what kind of folks own/run Smith Enterprises...

Sounds like a story that's begging to come out so go ahead and spill it

They made some M1A receivers, some customer was not happy with the fit and finish, company told him tough luck that it was the best. He wrote a bad review of the receiver and the customer service.

Smith Enterprises went after him legally for defamation, and did so hard core. Enough so I would never look at one of their products ever again.

Actually, I don't believe they ever shipped his receiver. Speculation by the customer about the delay being due to heat treat issues is what I recall prompted the suit.


Beyond that, I read a number of the pleadings in that case. I have little tolerance for those who love themselves that much, especially with whining thrown in.

Ouch. Not a very good PR campaign. How did it turn out?

You should have enough info to do some digging with google over it.

I don't know what the conclusion was, I'm actually going to look.

It was dismissed on defendants motion because SEI went forum shopping and filed it into a court that lacked jurisdiction.

running a Lantac Dragon on my AR, as is a buddy. and another friend has one on a Tavor. never used anything else to compare to. but i like it. Albiet very loud. got excited one day and forgot the ear plugs. my ears rang most of the day. wont make that mistake again.

I love my AAC Blackout. Very good product. Very little flash.

I also favor my Lantac Dragon 5.56 for a compensator. As good or better than the surefire in my opinion. I have a new BCM Gunfighter pinned on a new 14.5inch barrel that is no where in the ballpark of the Lantac as far as muzzle control but it is meant to be of the new trend for "combo" comp/flash and less concussion. Haven't stood next to that rifle while someone else fires it yet to compare the concussion to other "pure" comps.

The Vortex Flash Hider is the absolute best flash hider out there. It is the most effective, the most rugged, the highest quality materials and finish, and is sound suppressor capable.
