Thought I'd check with the troops on this one. There are not tons of big bore AR (.458 socom) options for comps / brakes, but one option from Tromix is their linear comp. For other calibers I've had good luck with comps from VG6, ALG Defense, and others like the Cookie Cutter. The Radical brake on my .458 rifle is decent. They are generally effective brakes and anti-muzzle jump devices, but all are loud and some are insanely loud.
I understand the idea of a linear comp is to direct the blast downrange which minimizes the noise and concussion especially for enclosed areas like an indoor range. Uh, doesn't a muzzle with NO device already do that? Other than typically distribute the blast into several forward facing ports, does a linear comp actually accomplish anything with that function? I"m planning to get the tax stamp then build (AR language for 'assemble' ) a SBR .458 and will want something effective on the business end. A linear comp is intriguing to me, but will it will it significantly lighten recoil or only lighten my wallet?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
