    The new'er HALOs (post 09) I think, will take A1, A2, VORTEX, BC2.0,
    I use the A1 with no peel washer, or a VORTEX, the one thing I like about the VORTEX/HALO is it will only go on in 4 positions, it kinda clocks its self... The HALO is a little heavy, but its a good can.

    I'm partial to the free part of the A2 as well.

    There are some things that I will tinker with even if nothing is wrong with it just to squeeze a little more of a desired result out of the object. I'm that way with my Harley, but I know a lot more about them. However, I don't know enough about the AR to go screwing around dumping money into every possible "upgrade" to make it worth my time and money or risk screwing something up. For some things the adage, "If it ain't broke don't fix it." is sage advice.

    My use of differing flash hiders/comps is more from curiosity than anything else. Miculek, blackout for aac can, a2, etc... Blackout for can is mandatory, but I wanted the others for F/A to try to reduce movement as much as possible. But, I admit, I'm still looking for the perfect flash hider/comp, and will probably be looking for a while longer. On the other hand I agree with markm, the a2 not the best at one thing, but it is still one of the best all around especially for semi.

    The A2's performance is more than adequate on carbine and rifle length guns. However on SBR's, you might want a muzzle device with better flash suppression.

    On two of mine, I changed the A2 out for YHM Phantom Q/D's. I run my Phantom can on these. On my BCM Middy I run a Troy Medievil, but only because I got it for nothing. Other wise I probably would have stuck with the A2. Bang for your buck, it's hard to beat.
    The difference between a revolutionary and a dictator, is a matter of timing.

    Very informative thread. I was going to order a battlecomp immediately for my first AR, but I think I am going to start with an A2... see if I like it or not... and go from there.
