So I'm looking at a muzzle device for a 5.56 upper I am putting back together. Specifically, I'm most interested in the griffin armament brake, or their compensator.
Recoil on a 5.56 is minimal as is, so I'm mostly interested in keeping the muzzle flat. Still, reducing recoil in turn reduces muzzle rise. I wonder, how much difference would there be between the two devices in this regard? Would the compensator have a negative effect, as in muzzle drop?
I do favor the large baffle style brakes though, especially from the perspective of cleaning. It's easier to keep the muzzle clean if it's exposed through a large baffle. That way I could better avoid carbon buildup.
Still, a quiet muzzle device is friendlier to other shooters. I haven't written the WCI off entirely either. I have one on one of my other uppers, and it's very effective.
I'm leaning towards the brake, but still unsure.
Next is the question of irons. I'm thinking simple, cheap, fliperoo ones. The front will be rail height.
What say you?
