The availability of flash hiders and muzzle brakes in 5.56 1/2x28 has been 0 for a while now. Wtf Surefire. Yet we see all these Surefire suppressors for sale. It's almost worth buying a 4 prong off the EE for $300 in this depleted market.

PM Coctailer. See if he can help. Always came through for me.

I have one brand new in the package. Maybe I should throw it up on EE for $300 along with the brand new DD FDE MK18 RIS II I have.

I dunno about suppressor adapter brakes, but I got a sure fire muzzle brake from Larue as part of a larger order, only took a couple weeks.

Here
I posted this in the sister thread a week or so ago. I ordered three and they all showed up within 4 days. |

Does anyone know how to get a few of their shim sets?
I'm missing (my own fault) 2 of the special beveled washers that come with the muzzle devices, to be used as the first spacer. |

DSG View Quote Nope, no flash hiders in stock there. Only 1 of the brakes in 1/2x28 is available. |

View Quote On this note, I was reading about the Kiwis' (New Zealand) new rifle using the Warcomp and having a bayonet lug so they could use both suppressors and bayonets. Anyone know if the Warcomp is actually really bayonet compatible? Given its flash hiding performance, that would be a pretty sweet "does everything" muzzle device if so. |

True, but being tined like a Vortex and technically not having an "up side" I imagine if you timed it so it was mainly upward with an even distribution to each side of the remaining ports, perhaps you could get that to be vertical. Makes sense from my drunk headmath version of application of force. |

Been looking pretty hard for a 762 Muzzle Brake for an SR25 for a while, now. NO dice.

Planned obsolescence
or built-in obsolescence in industrial design and economics is a policy of planning or designing a product with an artificially limited useful life, so it will become obsolete (that is, unfashionable or no longer functional) after a certain period of time. SF and many other silencer companies have been doing this for years with their qd mounts. |

That is an SF endorsed option and one I utilize on my precision recce after finding it tended to walk to the left when rested. The lowest ports on the right side are actually drilled level to the deck, so an equal horizontal thrust distribution would technically require a hair of clockwise bias, though I'm not sure one would notice a difference.

Seriously, I'm a big bayonet fan and I've been looking for an answer to that without just buying two Warcomps for two months with no answer. |

I'm still hoping they release the SFCT. The closed tone flash hider is dead and has been superseded by the closed tine war comp. You could probably also call and order any other flash hider they make, if you haven't found one yet, OP. Attached File |
