    I cannot comment on the BC as I've never used one. I could speculate that it'll be the same but then again, everyone is different.

    Once the suppressor is on, the break does not matter. Meaning, you get a suppressed weapon as opposed to having a straight brake.

    If you aren't shooting at least 75% suppressed, go with a FH.

    Meh, Im stuck in that decision process too.

    "Do I want to put a Battle Comp on my 10.5" MK18?" .....

    I wish I could try that setup out before I go buy another BC and install it and then decide to take it off.

    But I mean, crap, I don't think people give the standard A2 enough credit sometimes.

    I have been using a KAC QD FS on my Block II SBR. I have not tried the Triple Tap on it yet because (as others have speculated) I think it will be "too loud". I run a Triple Tap on my SR15 and have no issues with it. But, I ran a BC on a Colt 6933 for a while and I took it of and replaced it with a Surefire FH/mount because it was "too loud" for me. I suspect I would have the same reaction to the Triple Tap on the block II but can't confirm this.

    I'm the odd duck. I find suppressors to be virtually worthless on centerfire rifle calibers. I own a can, and am around people shooting them rather frequently.

    I still have to, or am supposed to, wear hearing protection as the suppressed 5.56 is not hearing safe. So what's the point? I get the priveledge of adding extra weight and length to my gun for... what, exactly?

    I shoot my 9mm SBR suppressed because I shoot subsonics and can shoot without ears if I want to. I also shoot it in a steel match and if the RO doesn't hold the timer just right it means I get extra turns.

    I'm also weird that I have A2s on my personal guns, and most of my T&E guns. I hear I need to get a comp though. and a trigger.

    Yeah, you're the odd duck.

    But hey, look at the bright side. At least you get the full benifit of running an SBR. Which would be length.

    I prefer a suppressor. In fact, I hate shooting without them.

    Here's something else I find amusing, from those that never seem to examine what they are doing and why, and forget where they've been.

    1. My gun is too long
    2. I need an SBR
    3. My SBR is lighter and so has more muzzle climb
    4. I need a brake to reduce muzzle climb
    5. That brake is loud!
    6. I need a can to make my brake quieter
    7. I now have a gun just as long as the one I started with and still have to wear ears but now it's heavier too. Plus it's a year later and my pocket is a good $1-2k lighter!
    8. Yay!
    9. Post pictures on teh internets!
