Someone finally figured out how to execute a concept with greater precision, higher reliability, and/or lower costs.

I have ordered and sold to many guys, the Battle Comp. They love them. Two days ago, I tried one for myself on an AR on which I test new products/accessories. I was stunned by the gas coming back in the gun and around the muzzle. It blew more carbon back into the action and mag than most modern suppressors. It creates a weird recoil impulse too. Fortunately I am capable on handling that "wicked " recoil of the 223 round by using just a simple old A2 flash suppressor. Funny you mention this now…

That barrel gets very hot after a few bursts. There's a range nearby that rents both M1A1 and M1928 out so I found out the hard way my first time. My thoughts exactly.

Apparently, the aiming point was the apex of the pyramid, which was located in the exact center of the field. You could hold over, or anywhere on the target and nothing would be blocked out." Sounds an awful lot like an ACOG type reflex sight doesn't it? Except this quote comes from "A Rifleman Went to War" and the German prisoner in this case was captured during a battle in World War ONE.
