    Heavily greased springs don't sprooinnngg either, and that is much cheaper and if it slows down and you get short-strokes you are a rag and some CLP away from fixing the issue.

    Short Answer-
    No

    Long Answer-
    Follow-up shot accuracy is determined by the sights. A good compensator will reduce muzzle rise (dot bounce) better than buffer gizmos. So will a good stance and grip.

    A decent compensator like the DNTC or FSC556 is worth the price. Training will help regardless of upgrade.

    Cool. I'm gonna try greasing the spring. I contemplated the DNTC or PRI QC for quick follow-ups, but wanted to FH. So now there are some choices, like the FSC and Vltor. I wonder as compensator design evolves, hydraulic/pneumatic buffers will lose some share in the aftermarket.
