pinned flash hider for a 14.5 barrel?

[regatoni5]

I've got a 14.5 inch upper and am in the market for a comp/muzzle brake/flash hider to pin on to make this thing legal. So far I've been looking at

-Battle comp 1.5
-Surefire 556
-AAC Brake out
-AAC black out 51t

I'm sure many of you out there have run these on a carbine, any words of wisdom or just preferences and performance reports? Thanks!

with a KAC birdcage. . . if only it could stay like this. . .

I have a FSC556 pinned on a 14.5" and a BC 2.0 on a 16". I really like them both. I can't comment on the others...

Go with the BC 1.5!!!! They are awesome!! I have the AAC models too but really like the BC!!

Why not just do a 16 inch barrel and not worry about having a muzzle device pinned on ?

What are you going to use the rifle for?

i already have a 16 upper and just thought i'd get a 14.5 for kicks. this rifle is mainly going to be used for paper punching and doing classes with.

i'll post pics up of what it looks like right now

No experience with the others listed but I do have a 14.5" with pinned AAC Brakeout. I like it and when I do the paper work for a suppressor....VOILA! It will slip right on.

I use the surefire on all of my rifles.

thats one reason why i want an AAC but honestly, i live in commyfornia so suppressors are pretty much out of the question until i change my residency.

^^this. Why have a shorter barrel with less velocity and performance? If you really want a 14 inch Ar, then do it right and just SBR it. Pinned muzzle's may as well have Hello Kitty painted on the side.

Is that a 10inch C4 rail or 12inch?

I believe your not asking you should do the pinned on break so I will just comment on what I know. I loved my DNTC break from PWS but the AAC breaks do a pretty darn good job, how ever if you do not plan on running suppressors save the weight and the external teeth and get something else.

Surefire if it was me but id also run the oppressor

Re: pinned flash hider for a 14.5 barrel?

thats the 12 inch C4 rail. whichever brake i choose it will be pinned but i think i've decided on the battlecomp 1.5. we will see how it goes

I've been shooting my 14.5" upper with a pinned PWS FSC556 for a couple years now and still love it. It is quite loud if you are standing next to it though. But behind the rifle, you dont notice it near as much. Performance wise, the muzzle climb is almost eliminated with this comp. I've heard good things about the BattleComp though.

Both my 556 14.5" pinned and 6.8 SPC 8" PSD had A-2 replaced by AAC to accommodate the suppressor. Loud and typical but nice for the QD suppressor use.
My 556 12.5" has the Battlecomp 1.5 and it performs flawlessly. Still loud, but almost eliminates muzzle rise and follow-up shots are quick and scary accurate. It's worth the small price.
