May I suggest ...Triple Tap Flash Suppressor/Compensator from KAC

The recoil is with factory rounds makes it like a pistol round. Reloaded .223 is even more amazing thru this device.
Is it worth the cost for you ? Depends what you will be using it for.

Nice as that is, the triple tap is a very very expensive unit. I would personally recommend the pws fsc 556.

S&J linear brake, with flutes to match your handguard holes?

What length barrel and gas system?

Do you want a flash hider or brake?

I run Troy Claymores on my shorter rigs, and have a comp from Griffin Armament for another.

I have run both in varying competitions and they fulfill their roles very well and my shot placement shows.

But these are not flash hiders. They are a tad loud, and kick up a lot of debris while prone or shooting on my side.


I am about to order another Griffin Armament brake for another build.
 
Depending on your barrel length I have a couple suggestions. Not going to tell you which one specifically to buy but will try to help you decide on a type of muzzle device instead. Your budget and what you hope to get out of it will determine which one you buy.
If your barrel is less than 14 inches i suggest staying away from any device with a brake function as they get very loud and uncomfortable to shoot. I had a Rainier Arms mini-comp on my 14.5 inch and loved it then sold the rifle and put the brake on my 12.5 inch and it was so loud and the concussion blast was so intense it became uncomfortable to shoot after a few mags. I then installed an Allen Gunworks linear comp and it was great, comfortable to shoot all day and my buddies next to me on the line appreciated it much more. I now have a PWS triad on it and am happy with it.

So depending on your tolerance level for concussion I would say for 14.5 or longer go with any brake you like, I like the ATRS brake but many options are out there that will work fine. If your barrel is shorter that 14.5 then a compensator is probably a better option, 10 inch or less a linear comp is the most comfortable.
I personally don't want to p!ss off the other shooters around me when I go to the range so I don't advise the use of a brake on a short AR even if you like the idea of your rifle barking loudly. There are guys that think it's cool to have the loudest rifle on the line but I want other shooters to have a good time at the range as well and not go to the next meeting complaining about the obnoxious black rifles and wanting restrictions placed on us.

There have also been a few threads in the last month or two with guys doing comparisons on muzzle devices which may help you decide which one you want.

Good luck, and post some pics when you get your new one. I'm a big fan of Spikes AR's :)
 
S & J Hardware linear comp. They come dimpled. Check their website.

Then my Fav! YANKEE HILL MACHINE 5C2 FLASH/COMP

Good enough for Arms East (Stag) & Daniel Defense ,)
 
My favorite remains the SEI Vortex. It can be a little obnoxious on a short barrel rifle so I'll keep that one cased until I have the range to myself.
