Looking at throwing a linear compensator on my rifle. Just wondering if anyone else here is running one and your thoughts on them. I'm looking at the KAW Valley Precision one. Thanks for any information.

I have a Levang Linear Comp on my AR, only have about 100rds through it but I like it.  It throws the concussion down range much more so than the PWS FSSC I have on my other build, so it does sound a bit softer to those shooting and around the shooter.  As far as recoil and muzzle rise, I can't say I notice a difference between it and the PWS, maybe if anything a touch more rise, but recoil feels identical to my shoulder.  

Cool.  Thank you for the heads up.

I had drinks with the Ian, the owner of KVP and designer of the KVP linear comp.  He said he designed it to redirect the gasses and concussion downrange however flash suppression and muzzle rise were not specifically targeted for reduction in his design.

Hey Ty.

 

I kinda figured that.  Given the design, I can't say that I'm surprised.  FWIW, I am going to have to skip Ian's brake anyway.  It's not long enough.  I am having one made to my specs.  Thanks for the heads up.

 

Enjoy the show.  I'm kinda jealous that you're out there.  I likes me some Vegas.

I'll be picking up KVP and Griffin Armament this month in addition to a bunch of other stuff.  How long of a muzzle device are you looking for?

 

And man, Vegas is chewing me up and spitting me out each day.  I'm walking a solid 10-12 miles a day, running around meeting vendors and key contacts.  I have done zero truly leisure activities while I've been here.  Oh well, at least it's around guns 'n stuff.

Hey Ty.

 

I need a 2.75" comp.  However it kinda needs to be a linear so I don't blow up my handguard.  Also, I kinda like the look.

 

And yes, Vegas tradeshows will do that to you.  I used to work in a bicycle shop and would go out there for the big trade show.  It was cool getting to ride the new toys but it was a LOT of work.  Enjoy the weather and the fact that you are out of the office. 

 

All the best to you.

Def need a pedometer for that show man!
