compensator, flash suppressor, muzzle brake...the only thing different it the name you choose to call it...any one of them is legal for a post ban AR as long as it is pinned, or welded on. i would go with the standard A2 style

That is bad advice if I have ever seen it.
Pick a comp/brake, and have it drilled and pinned in place.
ETA; didn't realize this was the same post in 2 different sub forums. That is annoying.

Fail.
Good job providing false info that will result in a felony if this person makes the same poor choice you do.

Thanks to ALL for the replies. Yes I know the difference between a compensator, flash suppressor,muzzle brake.
Just looking for opinions on how to put one on and not be a felon. Sorry if I found two good places to post this.
I was thinking of not threading and going with a light press fit, pinning and silver soldering.

See if you can find some on friends' guns to try first. Some of those compensators (like the bushy mini-Y comp), are excellent at making your gun louder and irritating to the guys next to you on the firing line.
On the first NES AR group buy, I had Anvil Arms properly mount a Branson A2 Comp on my upper. It gave me the look of a flash suppressor without the legal issues. Sounds about the same as a preban with an A2 suppressor.

I buy a threaded barrel, by a compensator, mount it, and pin it. I like the EGW compensators that were reviewed highly here for ARs of carbine length and rifle length. I own 3 rifles with these compensators and I really like them.

Yes, they are pretty awesome, but expensive.
Depends on what you think the "hype" is. The best comp out there, No. A good compromise of recoil control and noise, yes.
If you were going to put the best comp on your rifle but stay in tactical class what would it be?

That is what I did, and found one I like.

Which one did you end up going with?
That Custom is a great comp
Comps work by slamming gas against baffles and redirecting it to the sides and back. The more gas it stops and redirects, the better it works. Nature of the beast.
I've shot the titan....it's loud, but it feels like I'm shooting a 22lr. Damn barrel doesn't move. Trade off is worth it, control is ridiculous, but I wouldn't want to pop one off indoors without electronic ear protection.
Yep, Its just awesome.
Not yet. Don't know anyone that has one. Most of the people I shoot with a not concerned about flash hiding ability. Not that it would be a bad thing.
