I have a colt comp/target h-bar. The barrel is not threaded nor does it have a flash hider. I want a flash hider. The gun is stock and shoots sub MOA with most any type of ammo––55 grain.
Question–– Should I change to a different threaded barrel and hider or thread the stock barrel or use one of the adaptors that has set screws or a hider with set screws? The set screw method is cheap and easy, but my least favorite thought. Thanks for your input, SSC |

Quoted:
forget the set screw method. Amen. I tried this on one of my AKs. I got the thing on as tight as it would go. About halfway through a mag, I saw a huge hole in the target. I looked at the end of the barrel and it was gone. Found it embedded in the berm with a bullet strike so bad that I could not separate the slant brake from the adapter.  Lucky I did not hurt myself or destroy my rifle.
Get it threaded. Just make sure it is done concentric to the bore. You can also try here: www.ar15barrels.com www.tornado-technologies.com |
