Cool man, you do you, all I was doing was putting my two cents out there, because you asked for it...I'm confident my PWS muzzle device upgrades my rifle more than others, especially because the rest of my upper is PWS, they were built to be together...however, i've read that other people running said device also get great results even without any other PWS on their rifle. It's all up to you, but I feel sometimes spending the extra money is worth it, after all, the world's most iconic battle rifle runs it, not that I'm repping it just because of popularity, but FN knows what they are doing, this thing mitigates recoil like a BOSS!-and suppresses muzzle flash...i've had multiple people tell me my AR is the smoothest one they've ever shot.
