Ok, so it showed up today and I happened to be off...
These are quick and dirty iPhone 5 pics, bear with me.

So I was running a PWS FSC556 (actually a KAC556 so I could mount a QDSS suppressor at some point).
I installed the BCM (no pin) on my 16" barrel and went out back to test for concussion and muzzle rise. I'll probably use this on my 16" gun until I get a 14.5 middy barrel or a Mod 0 is available.
I tested this quick and dirty as I have not re-checked zero on the gun; close range fast shooting. I tested for concussion by standing beside my fence so I could gauge my concussion as compared to the PWS. I was alone so I had no one to stand beside the comp and gauge true blast/concussion.
RESULT: Subjectively, I can feel about 40-60% LESS blast/concussion than the PWS. I think this is significant if using in CQC or carbine class applications as well as small shooting bay competition.
I tested for muzzle rise by trying to keep the dot as solidly in the same place as I could with single, double, trip and quad tap shooting as possible; again close range, quick and dirty.
RESULT: I felt like the dot moved less than it did with my PWS. Now, admittedly the blast from my PWS was so objectionable, even in the open, that I found myself noticing that even when I was trying to focus only on the dot. The dot seemed to move less with the BCM, especially the more rounds I fired in quick succession.
I am in the midst of changing the setup on my carbine so the AFG was off and the LaRue FUG was in to be DuraCoated so I was getting a good grip on the SCAR panels on the HG. This was fine with me as I shoot my 1873 rifles super fast locked down in my shoulder in this manner; I'll be interested to see if it changes when I get my FUG back on the gun!
I guess this is similar to the MSW Review here:http://modernserviceweapons.com/?p=1047
The only regret that I have is that I do not have a BattleComp to test it against.
There you go a raw, super quick and dirty test. I know some of the pros on here will do a more thorough test and I am waiting with breathless anticipation of them. Until then, this was something y'all can refer to from someone who is definitely not a pro on here!;)
Enjoy!
