Duke, I think you might owe Chevrofreak another flash supressor for the commercial he made

I hope that its ok with Chevro for me to post this over here. If not let me know.

He responded to a question in the EE and I thought it was great stuff and deserved to be posted here.

take a look

It went from throwing flames to throwing sparks.  Big difference to me.

I found in my homegrown test (going out back and blasting) it made a huge difference.

That is a HUGE difference.  I just got one of these in from Mr. Ryan.  Good fellow to deal with FWIW.

Take off your sunglasses

Really - it's like night and day

Bet a Vortex would be even better.

My laptop has a 9" screen, and 256 megs of ram.  I guess it can't handle the video, because I can't see any flash at all.

I'll forward the link to my wife's ThinkPad.

Okay, now I see the difference.  My laptop struggles with video.  Glad I posted a response, or I would have went with a slant brake.

Does anybody know if a bayonet will work with these?

Yeah that thing works like a champ now I'd like to see what the others look like in the dark compared to the birdcage.

Wow! very impressive, I had no idea a flash hider was that effective.

My Bayonets won't fit over mine.

thank you for posting this!

Thank You for this post.Very large difference.
I noticed a big difference on the amount of flame on different shots without the flash hider.
I wonder if that is variable powder charges.What ammo did you use?

Is this the same birdcage flashhider as on this page?

I too was wondering if it worked with bayonets, but I guess not. Which flash hiders can be used with bayonets?

It's too bad YHM doesn't make Phantoms for the AK. I'd be motivated enough to have a machine shop thread my Vepr barrel for a YHM Phantom 5C1 (for 7.62x39 and not .223)

Hey, what kind of bolt-hold open was he using? Or was he using the modified safety lever?

WOW! That does make a huge difference! Thanks!

Like said above, difference of night and day!!!

wow! that sob really belches flames without a flash suppresor>

While not authentic, very effective. I have grown to really like the looks of this one.
