Just out of stock for a little while.

Shot more with the Compensator, it is amazing how flat the recoil is with the comp. I notices without the comp. or the flashguard, there is a little push to the rear, the gases apparently do their job even on the 22lr.. It's amazing... I never thought it would do a dam, I now have to call my M&P 15/22 my new tack driver.... And I thought the comp. on my AR15 5.56 was flat..... it's like shooting an air rifle.....

I tried all sorts of thing on a Ruger SR-22 that I once had a very large number of brakes and flash hiders, barrel shrouds and fake suppressors of different sizes,,,,,, all of them changed how the rifle shot, all of them were an improvement over the bird cage,,,, I noticed this even with my M&P15R and a .223 AR,,,,,, odd thing is this one made a huge improvement on all 3 rifles,,,, but makes for a loud .22lr rifle

The book post many of his findings so basicly its a book of facts and a very interesting read. He addresses this very question in his book showing groups fired with and without muzzle devices. And he stated that its not some magical taming of gasses or anything cool like that but simply dampening of vibrations in the barrel.. so called "tuning" if you will... Your break adds weight to the end of the barrel, the weight you added just so happen to be the right weight and is allowing less vibration in the barrel while allowing it to settle in the same place for the next shot. kinda like target shooters adding pads to the end of their stocks to apply slight upwards pressure on the barrel, you are adding a downward pressure to yours

Yep..................Similar to the same effects as a Browning BOSS.

The reason it's more accurate is because you've added weight to the end of the barrel, which in effect is acting as a barrel tuner, reducing vibration. This reason alone is worth adding a muzzle brake to the 15-22. Add pretty much any heavy brake, and you should see the same result.

If adding weight is the reason, then would my Spike's CAR 1 also aid in accuracy? I had it on and pulled it off during my "simplification" phase of my 15-22.

Its like searching for that perfect balance,,, that's why there are barrel tuners as well,,, to much can hurt as well as to little,,,, its more of a trial and error,,,, get your best grouping ammo and bring a few muzzle attachment and start bench shooting 15-20 shot groups and see what happens with different items,,, that's what I did when I found out the ugly bulky and heavy flash "enhancer" brought it down to almost one golf ball sized hole at 75 yards.
