    I can't hate on them for it. I've tried the pencil eraser thing and Chapstick/oil works better for me. Just wipe off. Either technique is very easy. Some folks need a commercial product and some don't.

    Though cosmetically it reminds me of the Vortex, it may perform more like a PWS Triad. Isn't one of the prongs on the Triad also larger?

    I think the upper slot on the Triad is deeper, which is how it compensates. The prongs all seem to be the same width. I had high hopes for the Triad when it first came out, but reports of overcompensating and pushing the muzzle down turned me off from it. I'm glad some manufacturers like Griffin Armament have actually tweaked their comps to be more neutral (i.e. their Flash Comp).

    I guess I'll just stick to buying their, 'mag chalk' then.... you know, for lubricating my magazines

    Per their webpage it can prevent a bolt-override malfunction.....

    ..and why again should I just decide that any claim they make about a muzzle device (something they have not offered before in the past..) is legit until proven otherwise?

    Like I said, I advise people to remain skeptical until further evidence is shown.

    You see black and white, I see gray. We can agree to disagree.

    The thing works well. I tried one on a 12.5" SBR with PMC ammo- I couldn't detect any flash in an indoor range. Doesn't ping, either.

    I put one on a 14.5" CA barrel. It is a local company (though I have no connection), and I figured I would give it a shot.

    -Fossa 556 is about 1/2 oz heavier than an A2X.

    -It reduces flash to essentially zero, on par with an AAC Blackout. Far better than an A2X. After observing that the PWS Triad reduces flash only marginally better than a A2X, this was a pleasant surprise.

    -Absolutely no annoying 'pinging'.

    -After 300 rounds side by side with a similar upper sporting an A2X, I was convinced that there really is SLIGHTLY less muzzle rise and sight picture disturbance with the FOSSA 556- but it is subtle. This was again a pleasant surprise after testing the Triad, which I found actually pulled me off target. If you want a real comp look elsewhere, but be prepared for a lot more noise, blast, and flash.

    -No detectable increase in noise or blast over the A2X.

    -Dust signature no worse than an A2X (at least in a non-arid environment)

    To me, it is essentially an AAC Blackout that does not ping and offers some very slight improvement in muzzle compensation. If money is no consideration, I think it is definitely an upgrade over the A2. Whether it is 'worth the extra money' is going to be a personal decision, and I can understand why some people might think not.
