Good Info Thank you
Yeah, leave the gas block alone.
If you don't want to grab a new muzzle device, take a look at the lmt enhanced carrier....but just the carrier. It serves the same end as an adjustable gas block and helps reduce recoil. I use it with the A5 system and there's no going back for me.

I forgot, I have LMT's enhanced carrier installed also.
I have to disagree with this. I've encountered several "true brakes" mounted on barrels from SBR lengths to a full 20 inches. All have been significantly more concussive than the Battlecomp mounted on a 16 inch barrel. I grant that the BC isn't as efficient at reducing flash as an A2, but it's much better than a bare muzzle or brake. I can't say the BC reduces recoil but it does soften it significantly.
I don't know about other "hybrid" devices, I've only experience with the BC and the Belgian combo device on an FAL
I think the Battlecomp does a pretty good job of reducing/softening/changing/whatever-ing recoil...not as good as a more aggressive brake though. There isn't as much concussion, but it's much closer to a muzzle brake concussion than an A2. Certainly the Battlecomp may qualify as best of breed here. I'm just not sure that the breed serves much purpose.
I don't really want to take this thread off the tracks, but I guess my point is that recoil reducing muzzle devices and flash suppressing muzzle devices are pretty much mutually exclusive. The compromises wind up pretty damned close to either being brakes or being flash suppressors. Even the A2 is a little bit of a compromise away from being a true flash suppressor. The Battlecomp is much more compensator than the Vortex, but the A2 is much more suppressor than compensator. I'm not sure that depending on your needs the juice of a brake or the juice of a flash suppressor isn't worth the extra squeeze to get as compared to those sitting on the fence.
Not totally fair as it's through a PVS14, but here is footage of a Surefire brake, a Battlecomp, and an A2 at night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN3ID...=share&index=7
Heavier buffers or a carrier weight system will help smooth out your recoil impulses without monkeying with your muzzle device.
heavybuffers.com is a good place to start.

any experience with the Daniel Defense Climb Mitigator in comparison with the BC?
Great info, thanks Sinister.
