[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Threading barrel with RRA faux flash hider

Posted: 7/16/2004 1:24:57 PM EDT

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I was wondering if it was possible to press off the faux flash hider and if there was enough barrel underneath for it to be threaded for a real flash supressor or would a chop, thread and pinned flash suppressor be necessary? If it's possible, could you provide the cost of the procedure? Finally, when we send a barrel in for threading, do you want the barrel separated from the upper receiver or should we just send the whole upper in?

Thanks!

We've removed a few of the faux FS from RRA barrels. It can be threaded, but would look kinda funny because it's a smaller diameter.

$56 to cut and thread

No need to remove barrel, but it'd save you a little on shipping costs.

By this, do you mean that the threading is standard so that any AR type flash hider will work, but that once a flash hider is put on, there will be a portion between the end of the flash hider and originally exposed barrel that is of smaller diameter (where the faux brake used to be)?

$56 to cut and thread

After a cut an thread, will be barrel be less than 16" long?

Cool. Alternatively, are you guys going to make it to Minifest?

Yes

If you want it to be, or you can keep the 16" The "cut & thread" is a thrown around term. to have a barrel just threaded is $56, to have it cut and threaded is the same price because its just as much work

Whats minifest?

To clarify my question if the barrel is cut so that there is no skinny space between the flash hider and the original exposed barrel, will the flash hider need to be permanently attached because the overall length of the barrel without the flash hider is less than 16"?

Whats minifest?

See this thread.

last year, we held a really cool 'private' shoot that was more or less 'by invitation only'.

this year, we are opening this one up to the boards and we hope you can attend.

this is held at jack black's farm and is a perfect facility for those who like to shoot...it's safer than snode's and we had a riot shooting there last fall.

just like bulletfest, we haul in the targets and get the line ready to rock and roll.

machineguns and semis shooting side-by-side.

camping onsite is available and jack generally has some grub available.

this shoot is turning into an 'end-of-the-summer' bulletfest...lots of nice folks and cool firearms ripping up the cars and appliances.

What if you used a spacer of some sort, like the lower half of a FH. This would fill up the skinny part.

Sure, I could cut the end of the fake thing and put it back on if you want.

here's a barrel without the FFH

Just tagging along on this thread... I've got a BM Dissipator with no muzzle device. Can that be threaded to fit the vortex or A1/A2 FH? Is that $56 also? It's the whole upper if that matters. I've heard some say that it can be threaded while on the upper, others say to remove the upper.

thanks
