not the rail itself but the BC inside the rail. im not very knowledgeable on the LVOA so maybe someone who is can chine in. I do know that it is like a freaking laser rifle, literally I have shot 22lr's with more recoil.How does the rail contribute to reducing recoil?

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

I was in Copenhagen, Denmark, and shot the IPSC Danish Open Rifle back in June. One of the competitors from Spain, Mr. Alvaro deOrleans, ran a quite short carbine (I believe a 12.5") with a BCM and a Troy rail that pretty much covered all of the ports of the brake. You can see him at the 11:24 mark in this video, as well as in these pictures (1, 2, and 3,) from ClassicTarget.dk's gallery.
As far as I know Mr. deOrleans didn't have the same problem as the TS (or he didn't have it at that match I should say,) but at the same time having a rail or tube that shields the comp will restrict the gas flow thus impeding the benefit of having a comp to begin with. You would probably be better off using an A2 FH if you want "that" look - still not saying it's a good idea though.

Well if you'll all excuse me, I'm going to go back my weaponlight another rail notch away from my battlecomp.
Just wanted to let everyone know about the awesome customer service provided to me by Paul at Fortis Mfg. I was contacted by Paul yesterday in regards to the thread here. Paul stated that he was informed of this disaster I caused by Stickman (huge thanks to Stick for putting his name on the line for me) and wanted to replace the rail for me, as long as I didn't put the muzzle inside the rail again. Paul was very helpful and related that he wanted to do everything he could to help get my duty rifle back up and running.
I can not believe the customer service that was provided to me, Paul went above and beyond what I ever expected of a company especially when I was the one that caused the rail to fail. Fortis has earned a customer for life and I am truly appreciative of what they have provided me. I want to thank Stickman for putting his name out there for me, even without knowing one thing about me. I also can not thank Paul at Fortis enough for being so helpful.
