Clobb Comp **NEW VIDEO POST #65**

I've been a fan of the smaller comps/brakes for a long time. So I decided to design my own and have it made for my own personal use. I've been researching the science of flash hiders, brakes and comps for a while now and the features in this comp reflect some of that research. Holes in the body are drilled at very specific angles (not just 90 deg), as are the holes in the baffle face. Chamber dimensions are very specific.

Those that know what they are looking for can see what I'm trying to accomplish, which is make a reasonable effective comp/brake that won't be annoying to shoot because of the blast.:redface: It should offer some very small measure of flash suppression as well.

Testing in a few weeks. :D

That a Kick ass design, I just had an Ideal, maybe you can mill out channel about .060 where the four hole align, Or ofset the hole to each other.
Very Nice!
 
I'll buy 2 in 1/2-28 too

:eek:

That looks kick @ss. Are you planning on blacking it out or just leaving it stainless? I'm a fan of the smaller stuff as well. Waiting anxiously for the test results.

Thanks! For testing purposes stainless is fine. I'll blacken it if the testing goes well. Hopefully it will get plenty black from the testing alone! Some people like the stainless look though...

Sorry, I'm not sure exactly what you mean, would the channels just be for aesthetics? If so, there is a bunch of stuff that could be done to it to make it look better, ribs and such, for her pleasure. :D

Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? ;)

:bangHead:

I finally got the time to take it out to the range today. I'll try to report my findings as completely as possible based on my notes. You can judge the videos for yourself.

Test gun was a 10.25" AR.

The following test was done just to test muzzle rise. I shot the rifle supported only by my shooting hand, not snugged into my shoulder. I placed the vert grip on the seam of the sand bag. Just click on the image for the video link.

You can see that with no muzzle device that muzzle flip and flash were very pronounced. It was LOUD and the muzzle blast was obnoxious.


Testing of the A2. You can see that muzzle flip is much less pronounced and there is no visible flash. Muzzle blast was greatly reduced.


The Clobb Comp. Muzzle flip was noticeably less than the A2 and more linear. Muzzle blast is much more pronounced than the A2 but much less than with no muzzle device. Lots of flash.:)


Off hand shooting....so much fun, the rifle just vibrates in your hand during fast strings.




Impressions:

The A2 muzzle device is really a great value. It hides flash well and is a decent compensator.

The Clobb Comp worked well. There was less muzzle flip and less recoil impulse than the A2. Actually, in singles the comp seemed to push the rifle slightly lower than center. It really shined during fast strings. It just vibrated there until you got off the trigger. I was actually amazed how easy it was to fire as fast as I could and still be able to keep my shots centered on my target. I ended up burning through 300 rounds of ammo because it was so fun.:) If I could change anything it would be to try to mitigate the muzzle blast with the device. It was quite pronounced (I think I pissed off a few of the club members shooting beside me:D), but that's life with a 10.25 barrel. I would really like to try the device on a 14.5 or 16 inch barrel. I bet it would be outstanding. I'm sending the device to CarbinOne on this board for further unbiased testing. He's agreed to test it against other muzzle devices, including a KAC Tripple Tap. I can't wait to see his results.

Oh yeah, and the Fenix LD10 chugged through the whole range session.. The only little problem I had was that during very fast strings it would turn to strobe mode. Not a big deal, but I wish I could find a quality single AA flashlight that just had two settings, ON and OFF.

More pics: The flashlight and FSB were coated in brown powder after the session...if wiped right off with some solvent. I like the scorched look of the comp. The scorching didn't come off with solvent.

Nice job, Clobb. Looks like it really works well -and certainly an improvement over the A2. The performance during rapid fire was outstanding!
