I’m thinking about getting a BCM 14.5” SOCOM upper and I’m wondering which muzzle device to get on it. It is to be pinned and welded so I will have to live with this decision. The BCM mod 0 is about $40 more than the A2X. Is there a good reason to go with the mod 0 over the A2X?

Not really. The heavier barrel will help more than compromise brake.

I had a BCM compensator on my carbine. For $89.95 I couldn't really see the big whoop about it. I ended up installing a simple flash hider.

You could always get it non-pinned and use a “pistol” lower and try a few devices before you pin. I like the close-tine Warcomp.

Any chance you'll ever want to run a suppressor on the rifle?

If it is to be pinned I'd get a device that would take the suppressor I would most likely get.

Here are the ones I use (I don't have any pinned): https://www.store.silencerco.com/collections/silencer-accessories/products/specwar-trifecta-flash-hider?variant=362735069

I’m looking at the same upper and also may get it pinned and welded. This will be my 3rd AR so pinned and welded doesn’t bother me.

I ended up going with a mid-length 16” upper from BCM instead of the SOCOM. I do have plans to rebuild another upper I have with the 14.5” in a few months though. Thanks for the recommendations I’ll definitely keep them in mind.

I settled on a pinned A2. From what I saw here plus reviews on YouTube I couldn’t see what the extra $$$ made it reasonable.

Yea when I get the parts I’ll probably just use an A2 I got laying around or take the Phantom off my old bbl.

Precision armament m72 if you want to shoot fast

unless you are using your rifle in competition, an A2 will serve you well. for me, flash hider beats a comp/brake. if you plan on using a suppressor, flash hider is still a solid option.

If muzzle brake, check out VG6 Precision? I like the gamma. If flash hider, check out JP Enterprises 3 Prong (would recommend Smith Enterprises Vortex as well, but I don't think that gets you to legal length).

Appropriate muzzle device from appropriate manufacturer if you're ever going to run suppressed. Then again, there's Griffin Armament for a2x.
