Recoil or muzzle flip?
I have a 16" mid length and I've been trying to control muzzle flip and went with a H buffer with a new buffer spring that's supposedly better. I have a Levang muzzle brake so if the H buffer doesn't help, I'll probably get a new brake installed. Sucks I can't try a few before pinning it and have to rely on reviews on the net. I have a Spike's Dynacomp for my new 14.5" build but thought about installing it on my 16".
When I was shopping for a new charging handle, the best prices I could find on the BCM CH's was $40 while the Raptor was $75. I've handled the BCM but haven't tried the Raptor but after looking at youtube videos and all the reviews, I decided to get one knowing I could probably sell it off easily if I didn't like it. It's a keeper.
