    The phantom it technically a comp too. It does not work nearly as well as the battlecomp to control muzzle rise, but its better at everything else.
    Agreed. I have BCs on all my ARs except one, a 6920 with the phantom 5C2. I've found it is the most effective flash hider & compensator, for the least amount of coin. The concussion is on par with the A2, barely noticeable.

    I'm running a BC 2.0 on my 16" rifle and a BCM Mod 0 on my 10.3" SBR. Both comps do a good job at taming muzzle rise and lessening the already small amount of recoil produced by a 5.56 AR.

    During some completely non-scientific testing with both comps on my SBR, I did find that the BCM tends to do a better job at taming muzzle flash out of my 10.3" DD barrel. The BattleComp did seem to do a slightly better job of controlling muzzle rise over the BCM, but not by much. I honestly couldn't tell a difference when I came to sound/concussion between the two. Discernibly 'louder' than an A2, but nothing like some of the gamer comps out there.

    I would recommend both, giving the edge to the BCM purely for the price point.

    I appreciate all if the experience shared. I am looking into a few right now and here is what I have considered in no particular order.

    Battle Comp 2.0
    Griffin Armament M4SD
    SureFire MB556K
    BCM Mod 1
    YHM 5C1

    The most I would be willing to spend is around 175ish. And all of these are under my max limit. I guess it all boils down to, which one I feel has the best and consistent reviews and ratings.

    If I didn't have a suppressor, I would have a BCM comp on all my rifles.

    I have the proto tactical comp on my 14.5 middy. That's more of a recreational blaster... But every thing else is A2 fh.
    I also have the Z comp. Like McDonald's "I'm lovin' it."

    Look at the Griffin Armament Flash Comp over the standard M4SDII. I have a Flash Comp along with a BC 2.0 and the BCM comp and I feel that it is the best overall. Concussion is between the BC and BCM, muzzle control is better than both, flash is better than the BC and on par with the BCM, and cost is roughly $85. It is also compatible with GA's excellent suppressors.

    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

    The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
    but it's still on my list.

    I have had excellent results with the KAC Triple Tap ranging from uppers with a 10.3" barrel up to an 18" barrel.

    The downside to the TTT is that on 10.3" barrels with M193, the fireball is stupid. However, that's the only ammunition that did that to me. MK262, various 223 loadings, 5.56 BH 50 Gr., all excellent results with minimal flash and low concussion. Straight back push with little to no "crack" in the sound. Extremely smooth function with an A5 RE.

    I've ran a Battle Comp and I did not like the downward push nor did I like the deafening sound it had. For whatever reason the crack off that thing hurt. The concussion was a little worse with the BC compared to the TTT. Flash mitigation was a bit better than the TTT with M193 but performed the same with all other listed loads.

    Currently I'm looking at the KAC MAMS and the Griffin comps. So I do not have any experience with those, currently.

    I've been running the BC 1.0 and the BCM MOD 0 side by side for a while now. I run the BCM MD on a 16 inch DD V1 with the stock buffer system and the BC on a BCM 16 inch middy with a Vltor system running a A5H2 buffer. So far they are very close in rise and concussion, although I have to admit I am partial to the BCM MOD 0. Even though the BCM build has the A5 system I feel as though my follow up shots are bouncing back on target quicker with the DD than the AR with the BC. I am sure other factors are influencing this (round count being one) I have maybe 5000 through the DD and only 2000 through the BCM. I really do not think that you could go wrong with either of them but I really would give the BCM a strong look. I have not shot the griffin but I have heard good things about it also.

    Sooner or later I will switch up the MD's to really drawl a conclusion to which I prefer, but as I said they are both GTG.

    It's ridiculous on a 14.5 middy. The only time I didn't like it was shooting on the High Power range with the metal awning.

    That made it loud. In real world shooting, it doesn't bug me.
