I purchased a 22lr Semi-auto rifle with a threaded barrel since I live in NY I have to get something which isn’t a flash hider permanently attached. The rifle already comes with a thread protector, but I am not sure if I want to get that attached since it is kind of tacky and useless. So the question is will a compensator adversely affect accuracy. Some people seem to think it will, which sound like BS to be but I would like to know for sure. I would also appreciate suggestions on muzzle devices. I am not really thrilled about the compensator idea so if there are any exotic muzzle attachments floating around I would like to know.
