I've purchased a AAC M4-2000 (waiting on ATF) and both my rifles now have the 51T Brakeout Comp on them.
I've found that the brake does wonders for muzzle rise. I really do like the Brakeout Comp.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” –Thomas Jefferson, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in “On Crimes and Punishment”, 1764
I used to think the A2 was fine but depending on what you're doing and what ammo you're doing it with more flash suppression may be necessary. As has been learned in Afg.
I've not found anything that I'd replace an A2 flash hider with. It's not the best at any ONE thing, but it's the best overall muzzle device for me.

Same here. The A2 does its job well. I keep that on my AR's. My SBR will runn something different for a can. Like another poster said, I would like to go with the HALO also
As a civilian it is unlikely that I will be in a shooting at a location with no ambient light or face an adversary with NODs. For a title II rifle the A2 is in all likelihood all I need. On an 11" gun with military ammunition the signature can be downright obnoxious and my preference would be for a more effective unit. In Afghanistan the military is finding that from 14.5 and 10.5" barrels the signature is drawing enemy fire and they've tamped up the issuance of suppressors and blackout flash suppressors. I expect at some point in the future line units will have suppressors as a standard item.
Not entirely true. CT state law is ambiguous in regards to sound suppressors/silencers as it does not define what one is at all statutorily. From what I understand, the BATFE defines a suppressor/silencer as a sound and flash suppressor, which is a Federal definition, but CT does not address it.
Many people in CT own suppressed post-ban rifles and suppressors are legally sold by Class 3 dealers. I know LE and civilians who own such weapons. There is also a Class 3 Match held annually in CT and there have never been any issues regarding these weapons.
Being in LE myself, I've contacted the CT State Police Licensing and Firearms Unit, the guys we in CT LE would call with questions about guns and gun law for advice, and they can't or won't provide a clear answer because I believe they are unsure as well. The only true way to know would be if a case were to be brought upon someone and tried in court, unfortunately.
As it stands right now, it seems that if it is illegal to affix a suppressor to a post-ban, then it is likely being overlooked and/or not enforced due to the ambiguity in written CT law. Furthermore, if it isn't explicitly defined as illegal by law, then wouldn't it be legal?
Safe bet would be to use a pre-ban lower for sure, though.

The A2 is very hard to beat for the benefits it provides and its low cost. I can shoot better with other comps/brakes, but always at the cost of more flash and blast. It just depends what is important to you. I want to shoot faster and maintain accuracy, so the A2 sits in the parts bin.

This is a good thread as I have been thinking of replacing the A2 flash hider on my duty AR with a battlecomp. I thought the BC was supposed to be just as good at hiding flash as an A2 but with the added benefit of compensating. Anyone that has it can you confirm its at least as good as an A2?
Great question.
Your choice of muzzle device starts with knowing or figuring out what factors are important to YOU for your intended uses and selecting the device that meets those needs best.
It may be helpful to list some muzzle device performance factors in no particular order.
Primary Factors:
- Accuracy / POI
- Flash
- Noise / Blast
- Muzzle rise
- Recoil
Secondary Factors:
- Cost
- Length and Weight
- Back pressure / Cycling
- Suppressor Mounting Capability
- Caliber / Thread availability
- Appearance / CDI Factor
Many devices focus on one primary factor ( like flash reduction ) and are very effective at that one thing, but sacrifice performance on other factors.
Some combo devices address several factors, and may do many things well. However, they generally are not as good as the dedicated device at any particular factor.
So, good advice would be to start with the A2, shoot it a lot, determine if it works for you or not and go from there.
