[ARCHIVED THREAD] - flash hider

Posted: 6/19/2007 10:19:26 AM EDT

I have a colt m4 target match and it has a muzzle break on the end of it. The muzzle break is pinned on the barrel and I would like to get a flash hider instead. Would I have to get the barrel threaded for a flash hider or is there one that just pins on the end like my muzzle break? Are there other alternatives?

Thanks, John

FYI, this is a flash "hider":

this is a flash "suppressor":

Hiders are normally not made for newer rifle, as the one above was for an old M1 carbine IIRC, most folks nowdays use flash-suppressors on their rifles...

I just ordered a vortex flash suppressor. If I get my barrel threaded by a gun smith could it reduce accuracy?

If the gunsmith sucks balls!

But to answer your question, no, it will not reduce accuracy as long as the gunsmith knows what he/she is doing.

The Vortex is AWESOME! I replaced the birdcage on my rifle and saw more flash from the action of the rifle at times when it cycled than from the flash Eliminator!

You really need a new picture, one where the crush washer is installed correctly...

I suggest this one:

RANDALL that looks just like my LMT DEFENDER

THATS how I do mine

I have seen the washer the other way also?

Does it really matter?

The small end should always be against the barrel and large end against the muzzle device.
When you put the large end there, it seats on the inside of the cone, not on the edge.
There will be more force required to crush it that way.

I said I would post a picture of it up. There it is!
