Hey guys. I'm looking to get a barrel pinned and welded. I've had this flash hider for a long time and I am wanting to use this rather than an extended A2. Does anyone know who made this? Will it be long enough on a 14.5 barrel to hit 16.1?

That is the determining factor.

It's a hair under 2 1/4 inches

If I am thinking right, it should come out to about 16.25 once installed with the crush washer, if you have the barrel, just put it on hand tight with the washer and measure.sh

Take into account depth of thread engagement and crush washer if using.

I measured a couple of my loose MD and the threads are about 1/2 in, with the crush washer adds about 1/16th of an inch which comes out to about 16.25 in when put together.

How are you getting a standard crush washer to a  0.0625" thickness????
I use BCM A2X hiders, and standard crush washers. Mine all have turned out @ 16.1875" OAL.

Obviously, different muzzle devices will yield varying OALs.

Well I just eyeballed a used crush washer I took off a commercial built barrel and was talking in approximates, I estimated 16.25, I just assembled it all and measured it with a bolt inserted and the OAL came out a bit more, it came out at 16.3125

Either way, it comes out long enough to be legal without a stamp.

I recently had one near kick my ass. Had to go near 360 degrees to time....by the time it was timed it was pretty  damn "crushed".

First time I have run into that.....hoping it wont effect accuracy.  If it does,  I'll try peel washers....
