I have an 18" bull barrel and was thinking of having it threaded to take a compensator etc. My gunsmith says it won't effect accuracy. He will not effect the crown. What do you guys think? I would hate to ruin a good barrel. It's a DPMS heavy bull.
Whether adding a compensator is worth it or not depends on the use of the rifle. While the recoil of a .223 AR isn't obnoxious, it is there and there is muzzle climb. A compensator can almost completely eliminate the climb and reduce the recoil even further. The result is the sights barely moving on the target making a very rapid follow-up shot or shots much quicker. Where does it matter? 3-gun and IMO coyote hunting. For a range plinker, I wouldn't bother. I wouldn't thread a 20"+ bull barrel for a suppressor either.
Now THAT I can agree with. If you want to thread your bbl that's your business. I had a 20" post-ban threaded and it got messed up-threads weren't concentric to bore. I sent it to YHM and got them to re-do it. Lost an inch and wound up with a 19" bbl. So just make sure the guy know's what he's doing.
