Compensators

i wouldnt think the compensator would effect it, but i would imagin if you changed your loads to get the most of out of the compensator , that would change your bullet trajectory more.
 
If it strike the comp...your bullets would make some strange holes, and it would be crack in no time......

That all depends on the amount it touches, I had some just touching the last baffle and since not every bullet hit I got two distinct groups on target about 5" apart. It wasn't enough to cause any tumbling and once we reamed the comp the gun went back to grouping fine.
 
As Pat said, proper clearance is important. Note also that over time some comps, depending on the material they are made from, can slowly erode around the inside edges of the baffle holes. This can throw up a hair edge that encroaches into the bullet path. Of course the bullet end up "skidding" off this edge as it transitions the hole and thus be deflected. It can be hard to see and creep up on you incrementally, so it's just something you have to watch for.

But of course...I was just answering the post...:cool:
 
Does anyone know if the compensator on a cz has play on the threads. It does not tighten up, it stays on very loose fitting, is this normal? Sorry for the stupid question, I put a NEA heavy brake on my cz and it will not screw in all the way to lick on the locking pin.

On Czechmate compensator rotates a little as much as guide rod permits, but there is no other movement.
 
Contrary to the above the compensator shape can effect trajectory if the cutouts are not deep enough the bullet may rise due to gas pressure under the bullet. If you have lots of hybrid holes and a lot of slow powder the bullet may also rise, so the comp holes have to be slightly egg shaped up to allow for this.
Also comp guns will tend to shoot different bullet shapes to different impact points ..up to 2 - 4 in at 25 yards. HAP at dead center will allow round nose to shoot 3 high and 3 right in my 2 guns.

This is the answer I was looking for and it jives with the results I got from shooting with it!

Thanks !
