Battle Comp 1.0 vs. YHM 5C2 vs. PWS FSC 556

The one on my 14.5" carbine however performs differently not only with different batches of ammo, but from round to round with ammo of the same batch. I attribute this (I'm guessing) to slight variations in the ammunition, some of it working with the optimal amount of gas (in effect, velocity) with some rounds but not others. There is undoubtedly better stuff out there for a particular application, and I'm guessing very few that run them have dived into tuning or indexing them to their particular gun or shooter's style.
food for thought.;)

I did further testing of all my brakes using my 11.5" AR, 16" AR, 20" AR, 18.5" XCR, and my friends 14.5" AR.

I believe it's primary the gas system that changes the 'feel' of each of the brakes on each gun. Certain brakes helped the guns feel less 'snappy'; Guns with carbine length gas tubes had the roughest feel (well documented by many companies), and some brakes actually smoothed the feel of them out quite a bit.

Rifle length gas systems benefited the least from the 'smoothing', as expected. In those instances, choosing a design which maximizes gas dispersion (Rolling Thunder, Titan) reaps the greatest benefit for the type.
 
Issues with PWS about cloning their brake?

ETA: GP Tactical still has some. I just ordered one.

That is obvious, but not what I was talking about.
I'm talking about running different types of ammo through the same gun and same brake/compensator and getting different results due to bullet weight, powder burn rate and velocity.

I didn't find any differences in the 6 types of 3 weights of ammo I used. Certain rounds produced more muzzle flash, some were softer shooting, but no round made one brake superior to another. All I had was PMC M193, PMC M855, UMC 55gr, UMC 45gr, AE 55gr red box, AE 55gr. 'Tactical' black box.

I don't think you will find any.

All these other brakes and comps perform better for 50% less cost.

No one wants it.

Don't know about that, since it seems like it is the closest thing to the the Knights Triple Tap. Which is a whole lot more than the cost of the KTT. At $150 USD IMO I think it is worth it. Just trying to find one at a ''reasonable'' price. Talked to Nick Gottuso from Battlecomp and they said right now they do not have the export permits for Canada. Still looking.
 
PWS states the TTO is 1.6". The Dlask unit has a fatter/longer back to it, but that is the area that threads onto your barrel anyhow. It's only slightly longer.

Dlask will not run that any more.

There were no copyright infringement issues.
It is just a PITA to make that PWS brake and
at the same time to not stray from its original design.


However, as very many people said,
that PWS design works very very well for what was intended.

If the near future, DlaskCo intends to manufacture some
muzzle devices based on their own designs.
 
Judging by the rough tooling marks, it's no doubt a pita to machine with all the nooks and crannys in the brake. But hey as long as it works as it's suppose to, I'm fine with some rough areas.

Probably why PWS charges double.
