Sorry, your absolutely correct, I forgot that I did order mine with the optional power pack. The memory ain't what it used to be. What's the difference between the Screaming Eagle compensator and the pryor compensator? What is a compensator?

That change was a needed one. Those gears were annoyingly loud.

That change was a good one. Those gears were annoyingly loud. Not sure how I got the double post. Sorry. Was having issues with the site this morning.

Question 2011 best model year ever ?

O.k, I learned about the Screaming Eagle compensator upgrade for 2011 ( Thank you Lowcountry Joe ) but why is it your opinion that 2011 is the best bar none, I'm assuming that 2012s and '13s still have the S.E. Compensator. Are there other reasons?
