Deckard, I will know the answer about the
possible compatibility when I will have in my hands
the M9, the T97 and the AR FH at the same time,
hopefully in a few days.
Clobbersauras,
You have to realize that you are actually firing a 223
in a very short barrel in a bullpup gun.
The muzzle is VERY close to your face,
even if oriented in a opposite direction.
Yes, I know it is un-pleasant.
The brake on Nemo’s gun is a muzzle-raise compensator
and is good at what it is supposed to do,
but its intentional secondary effect is that of a recoil reducer.
Because of that, you will have even more gas (and smoke)
thrown in your face (from a very short barrel in a bullpup).
Originally that design is intended
and it is very effective for 14.5”-16.5” AR’s.
It was copied by few companies,
but people know mostly about PWS (Primary Weapons Systems)
who pimped that design very much,
but they didn’t invent it
(how they want to make people to believe).
Here’s a demo of the gun stability
(click the links at the bottom of this page):

Noveske type FH’s will work very similar to your existing gas booster
as they are based on the same design.
They direct most of the gas forward,
but some gas will get back and slap you in your face.
Between yours and a Noveske, I am not sure if you will feel
a whole of a difference concerning that.
You can go ahead and buy a Noveske if you feel like
for the LCF and if you have nothing else to spend your money on.
Whatever you do,
do not buy the Chinese copies of the Noveske
that started to appear on the Canadian market,
because they are very badly made.
I tested several from 4 or 5 different batches, and I found
that they are machined so eccentric that they wobble
when you screw them in
(and on a particular one, the bullet was touching the diffuser),
the O-ring gets pinched and cut in the thread,
the thread for the muzzle is never calibrated (either too big,
or so small that I almost wrecked a barrel).
If you can’t find an original Noveske but you can wait,
there are 2 Canadian companies (that I know of)
that are about to spill very close copies on the market.
The product of at least one of these companies
is of very outstanding quality.
More than likely you will see threads in here
in maybe less than a month about those FH's
with Canadian symbols on them and the whole shabang).
