    So I decided to try out something different.  Got the Fortis brake and the optional control shield.  This way if I’m next to others shooting with obnoxious brakes I can use it naked or put the shield on when I’m around pistol shooters etc.

    Have several VG6's and a few Surefires.  The Surefire is probably my all around favorite.  Both are rarely concussive since they are, well, muzzle brakes.  

    Neither is great at an indoor range but there is the Warden for the Surefire which works very well.  There is also the cage you can buy for the VG6 which somewhat helps.

    Thanks for the response.  Unfortunately I need the Gamma SL to be compliant and the cage won’t compatible with this model.  Surefire discontinued the Warden. At this point I’m just looking for something that’s no more annoying than my battlecomp brake.

    I've been using the BCMgunfighter comp on all my rifles recently, MOD 1 is the long version for 14.5" barrels. It offers a lot useful functionality while being marketed as a compensator. 

    Thanks I was leaning towards the BCM.  Do any NJ shops sell it?  
     

    Also I read some good things about the Precision Armanent AFAB and EFAB.  Would these be a no-go in NJ?

    Another vote on the VG6 Gamma.  I have it on "more than one" rifle.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  The problem is I have a 14.5" upper and the Gamma is too short.  They discontinued the EX model which would've worked . . .

    Hi there,

    I was wondering what muzzle brakes/comps everyone is using.  I have a Battle Comp on one of my rifles and a KVP on an "other."  I'm looking for an option to pin on a 14.5" barrel to exceed 16'.  I was hoping for something milder than the Battle Comp, which exhibits too much concussion for my tastes.  A few people recommended the VG6 Gamma, but I would need the EX for length, and it looks to be discontinued.  The Epsilon has the length but VG6 said it's not NJ legal.  The Bravo Comp looks good, but on some old threads here it wasn't clear if it was GTG from a legal standpoint.  Please let me know what you would recommended for shooting in an indoor range.  Thanks.

    I ordered a few items from BUDS over the years.  They are good to go.

    Good to know. Only problem is they’re only showing the hi-caps.  I’d rather wait for the neutered mags to come with it.

    Dumb question. Does a 320 FCG count as a pistol in NJ? Sorry to detract from the OP, but that just occurred to me. Hmmmm...

    I would think it would have to but I understand why you’d ask.  It would be sketchy to say the least if it had to be transferred as a receiver.

    Just wondering if anyone's seen these out in the wild yet or knows what the ETA should look like.  I have a permit I'd like to use before it expires.  Thanks.

    Thank you!  Going with a stainless target.  

    EDIT

    All of these are actually out of stock so the hunt continues.

    Haven't been on here in a while so wasn't really aware of the whole SBF thing. Saw Howell Gun Works post the Mod Mat SBF on Facebook and said oooo that's cool and pulled the trigger.

    Taking to the range tomorrow to sight in as I just got it kitted out the way I want it. Ended up swapping out a ton of parts and now that I've read through the thread I think I will start another sbf build, either a KAC or HK 416 clone.  

    Swapped sba3 for sba4, stock trigger for G SSA-E, ch for a raptor, fh for a surefire fh that accepts a warden.

    Slapped on a eotech exps3-0, dbal a2, sf m600df, rail scales, qd sling mount, src3, and a ms4 sling (getting swapped for a slingster or vtac). 

    She got a little heavy kitted out at 8.6lb loaded but it balances pretty well due to the short barrel. 

    Will see how it shoots tomorrow.

    Damn that’s heavy.  My build with a 10.5” pinned barrel and Trijicon Credo 1-6 is under 6 lbs.

    IMO the Accupoint is a superior choice to the ACOG - especially in the area of eye relief and eye box.

    At that price, it is a no brainer. Get the Accupoint.

    Buying a fixed power scope in today’s age of affordable, robust, reliable and lightweight LPVOs is crazy.

    Thanks for your feedback. I’m not really that familiar with them as all my variable scopes are much higher on the magnification range.  I love the brightness and clarity of the ACOGs. Will the smaller objective of the typical 1-4x hurt in the regard?  I’m content to put it on 4x and leave it, which is why I was looking into a fixed scope. Having variability I’m not going to use must have some detriment, no?

    Just wondering if anyone has seen any really good deals.  I have two 3.5xs, a green horseshoe and a red cross hair, and was hoping to find a 4x chevron (green or red) at $800+/- in either LED or Tritium/FO.  Primary Arms has an Accupower 1-4x @ $469 I was looking at, but I don't think I'd ever take it off of 4x, making variable redundant for my needs.  Please let me know what you come across.  Thanks.

    n Black Friday. Adams Arms PZ upper, since I feel piston runs better with shorter barrels (may eventually suppress it, which is another plus for piston). SBA3 brace, MOE-K grip, KVP linear compensator, and a SIG ROMEO 5 on LaRue mount. MS4 sling, as well.

    Just wondering what you think of the KVP comp.  Thanks.

    What does everyone think my odds are of NICS coming back before close of business tomorrow. 
     

    have a permit that I misread the expiration date on...expires tomorrow

    I’m still waiting for mine from last Wednesday.  I’ve never waited more than a few hours.
