So I got mixed feelings about this BT-15 and wanted to share my experience with it to my fellow gun enthusiasts.
To provide some context:
I go out a few times a month with my wife to the range to shoot 50-200 yards with this BT-15 since I last purchased it a few months ago and my wife has refuses to be anywhere near me when I pull this out b/c of the inevitable blast waves (concussion?) she gets from standing next to me.
To address this, I picked up a SureFire Warcomp and the SF Blast Warden because the Rotex V Blast Deflector was sold out and backordered for several months.
Ok, well, she is now able to stand next to me as my spotter because of the reduction of the blast waves and it being forwarded down range...BUT, now there is a spectacular fireball / flash that is distracting to me as a shooter (which is not the case with the Rotex V Blast Deflector off).
Does anyone have this issue / or have a similar set up? I watched a video by someone at B&T use this (presumably on a 16" rifle) and I didn't see any fireballs. I know my BT-15 has a 10.4" barrel, is that the reason why it's spitting out fireballs? I'm not an expert and I have a hard time finding much information on this gun.
Also an FYI, I swapped to the Rotex V Blast Deflector from the SureFire Blast Warden because:
A. it fits on the stock BT-15 nato spec A2 flash hider.
B. the stock flash hider is more flush than the Warcomp, the Warcomp muzzle device has a very noticeable "gap" (see photo attachments)
C. Minimal POI shift...pretty good groupings at 100 yards (what I zero'ed in at on my x1.5x16S Trijicon ACOG)
Another gripe I have is that the barrel is threaded 15x1 RH and it's hard to find a muzzle device with suitable suppressor. Who knows when the B&T RBS 556/.223 Suppressor is going to be available...I've been eyeing it since the beginning of the year.
It appears that if I get another 15x1 RH muzzle device, there might be a high chance that it won't "fit flush" like my SureFire Warcomp didn't because of how "thiccc" the barrel profile is? (lol) My original intent was to get the SF warcomp and put a SF suppressor on it but I don't want to go that route because of the terrible aesthetics of the "gap" on my barrel.
Contemplating selling this in the classified, other than these grievances, it is an excellent firearm. Oof...realized I posted this in the wrong thread, it should be under pistols.
