I've seen the JP Tank on a 10.5.....
Impressive to say the least. Somehow the AR became a bi-lateral flame thrower
BTW, Norc 223 has the biggest fire ball in all 223s I have tried.....

Not the last one I participated in
However, the compensator is not as useful in SR. You have so much time to allow your muzzle to reset into a shooting position again (at least 3 seconds), with the exception of the rapid fire matches.
In IPSC Rifle, the competitor's ability to finish a course of fire is timed. There is a HUGE advantage to being able to keep the muzzle directly on target for a second shot ;-)
You can interchange the compensator and flash-hider depending on the need... they should not affect the point of aim

In the Classic Matches (NSCC) all snaps require two shots. This includes the four snap shooting matches as well as the four rundowns. There are four rapid fire matches as well. In other words, 40 shots are fired deliberate slow fire, 80 are doubles, and 40 are in 10 shot rapid strings. In addition, there are the moving target matches. The fourth stage here requires 4 shots per exposure at 50m, standing. A good brake does make a difference.
I would be cautious about swapping a brake and flashider during a shoot. First, there is no reason to do so; install a brake and leave it on. Second, it would require careful testing to determine if zeros are affected. Even an A2 with solid bottom has a bit of brake effect. Orientation of a brake can make a significant difference in POI. Recently had one come loose during a 400m snap match and the zero just went wild. Tightened the thing up, and won the 500m snap.
Actually, in match 2 of the ORA SR CoF, you shoot modified/urban prone. A break that vents sideways kicks up a lot of dirt back into your face and onto the objective lens of your scope. Safety glasses and a Blizzard lens cap help mitigate it, but you still end up having to wipe off your lens between exposures if there is dew on the grass. It would be nice to be able to turn off the break just for that match.
Isn't there a version of the Browning muzzle unit that has a rotating sleeve that covers the ports if desired?
One problem with rotating on and off during a sequence of shoots is that the unit gets darn hot.
Even an A2 is going to vent gas downwards in this position.
That stage is pretty close range, isn't it? If there were a change in zero, it just might not matter.

Agreed. It's worse for CQB with a 10 rapid in the m-prone. No time to wipe lenses...and dust obscuring the target is a real #####.
I would love a sleeve that fit over my brake for that stage.
Doesn't that defeat the whole "Service Conditions" aspect?

Actually you are right about that DF. Good perspective. But, we are still allowed any muzzle device we want. Something like Savages, that can be spun to an off position, would likely be good. I don't know how reliable it is though, and I would think it would be expensive.
Do you have dust/dirt challenges with the Triple Tap on your rifle?

Nope! Just put on some good eye protection and Live the Dream(c)
And I don't take the Triple Tap off of my Knights either.
In the US if you buy a SR15E3 it comes with a Triple tap installed.
And Yes, I still suck anyway.
Thanks, Muffin.
Some people may get pissy about a compensator on your rifle at SR matches. I was at one here in BC a couple years later where a couple guys (who will remain nameless) wanted me tossed for having a stag comp on my rifle. Not even a space gun comp, but one like this:
No, the fact that it isn't a can does...
An A2 flashider, having a solid bottom and slots on the top and sides has braking effect. Cavalry Arms makes a unit that looks like an A2, but with smaller slots and a smaller exit hole, so the braking effect is improved.
Others are very effective, and practically eliminate muzzle flip.
On a sandy firing point, a brake that deflects gas downwards can really throw debris around.
