AR15 flash suppressor recomendation (Noveske pig style)

Brianma65 said:
isn't the noveske a comp with all the ports going out the tip? Nothing to align there , is there? I understand the diff be tween a comp and a flash hider and I thought op was referring to a comp. my S&J linear comp has all the port holes on the tip all going forward. Be fore I got the crush washer I used blue locktite , didn't have any trouble. I do know that the linear comp is much quieter that the flas hider I had. The flash hider made my ears ring for 20 mins , when I accidentally forgot my muffs. I can shoot , no prob , without muffs, with the linear comp.

Correct. The KX3 does not need to be indexed to function properly; only for esthetics if you want the logo to be readable from the side. But I believed the question to be a broad one regarding indexing as a procedure in general. The KX3 was designed to increase backpressure to aid in reliability and help create a little dwell time for the short barrels as well as direct blast forward, so it's the next best thing to a suppressor in a way.

As for blue locktite working, I'll take your word for it, but heat is a known way to break the bonds of blue locktite and the muzzle of an AR does get hot. If your muzzle device didn't back out, it might be due to other reasons rather than the product itself.

I agree with not using blue locktite , it just worked for short period while I waited for the crush washer . I have the S&J linear comp on a 18 1/2 barrel. There are 2 models a 2 1/2 inch one and a1 1/2 model. I beleive the shorter one is for a shorter barrel ( but not sure about that). I use it for looks only , and it didn't make the rifle any louder , the flash hider I had , was deafening. Thanks for the great info, I've leaned something else today.

The KX-3 is a compensator. It "compensates" for the felt recoil experienced as a result of the firing cycle and redirects the hot gases forward, away from the shooter.

No offense X-man but I don't think that's quite right...meaning a compensator is not designed to reduce felt recoil. That's the job of a brake. Compensators reduce muzzle lift :cool:

Does anyone with an NEA15 (or specifically one with a 12" hand guard, 14.5" barrel) use a KX3 or KX5? Someone commented to me that the KX3 won't fit with NEA15 hand guards.

Kind of true. A compensator will in fact reduce recoil as well. It has to. You are redirecting gas. A compensator and a muzzle brake are two different terms for essentially the same thing.

I'm fairly certain the kx3 won't "nest" inside NEA handguards, but this is only an issue if the handguard is longer than the barrel.
