Now this may sound silly, but as stated before I am a FNG! Does the standard military type flash hider have any value as a muzzle brake? Or does it simply diffuse the muzzle flash. I am wondering if it would be worth while to buy a new complete "pre-ban" upper next fall. |

Does the standard military type flash hider have any value as a muzzle brake? * A [i]compensator[/i] provides a downward force to counter muzzle climb. A [i]brake[/i] provides a forward force to counter felt recoil. The A2 FS should work as a compensator, but minimally. The real reason for the lack of slots on the bottom is to keep it from kicking up dust when shooting prone. I am wondering if it would be worth while to buy a new complete "pre-ban" upper next fall. |

to answer the second question. i feel you need two uppers. one for target shooting and one for plinking. it sounds like you have one that could be a potential nail driver. for about 350.00 you can pick up a M4 upper with bolt. it would be a great investment if you shoot a lot. a local gun smith shouldn't charge more than 50.00 for the threading work. plus 30.00 or so for the FH. |
