    In no particular order-
    -Direct thread suppressor
    -A2 birdcage
    -Battlecomp if the barrel is 16" or more

    One that I'm particularly interested in its the BRT linear comp. Pushes the concussion down range, reduces flash and softens recoil. I only have a few rounds of experience with it.

    I'm partial to the BCM line. Effective but not bad ref blast.

    6315, but I'm partial, because it's our design
    A2 based with asymmetrical ports (smaller and shorter ports at 3 and 9 o'clock), same flash suppression as an A2, same noise level as an A2 as well, but 20 to 25% better compensator performance.

    I have the BRT comp on my 20" rifle, and I like it for a range/hunting gun. It definitely pushes the concussion downrange and doesn't kick up a lot of dust in the prone (less than an A2, IME).

    The BRT and BCM Mod 0 comps I have are visibly less effective flash hiders than the A2 or the AAC Blackout.

    I am going to stick with the A2 FH from now on, although I really like the Forward Controls upscale 6315 version.

    We had a hard time trying to capture the effectiveness of the asymmetrical ports on video. The difference is perceivable whether it's slow aimed fire, or rapid strings and bursts, it's easier to show it in bursts.

    Till we rotated the 12 o'clock port to 3 o'clock, the results demonstrate the effect of 6315's asymmetrical ports design quite well.

    I'm a fan of the 6315 too... I have 12 of them.

    Something I would like to see from FCD is a flash suppressor that doesn't require any timing, kind of like an improved A1 flash suppressor.

    The problem i have with the 6315 is that it's too short for a 14.5" barrel. You listening, Roger?

    Lol, yeah I know, I'm not a fan of these extended A2s, though our 6315x does look better, by retaining the portion forward of the BFA mounting groove.
    6315KM (Keymo) suppressor mount will be out that also makes a 14.5" barrel non-NFA, so 6315x is on the back burner for the time being.

    The 6315KM, what kind of suppressor mount is it? Can you share photos? (Start a new thread, if need be?)

    Hmm.. I'd buy a few Surefire compatible 6315's.
