[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2281949, member: 4235"] FF handguards are nice because there is little to no POI change when going between supported, unsupported, sling supported, etc. like there is if the handguard/bipod/sling mount is putting pressure on the barrel. The accuracy benefit comes from the barrel harmonics always being consistent from shot to shot. For a good reliable bolt, the main things you want are at least Carpenter 158 steel, high pressure tested, magnetic particle inspected, with at least grade 8 screws on the gas key, and something to ensure the gas key screws don't back out, like staking. Some of the different coatings help with not needing lubrication so much, and with making it easier to keep clean. Flash hiders make the flash less noticeable from the shooter's perspective (nothing can make it invisible from down range), muzzle brakes make the rifle recoil less, and compensators keep the muzzle from rising as much. How well they work depends on which one you have, but there are models of each that are very effective at their respective roles. [/QUOTE]
