[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Better to have Phantom Screwed On Or Permanently Attached?

Posted: 9/14/2004 5:24:55 PM EDT

I have my 16" Bushmaster uppers at Adco and that was their question to me. I may get a sound suppressor at some point so would it be better to have a flash suppressor screwed on? Is there any advantage of having it permanently attached?

Get it screwed on. No sense limiting yourself.

the advantage of the permant Hider is shorter barrel but personally I would get the thread so you can attach a suppressor later

The ONLY reason to have a flash suppressor permanently attached is if the barrel is less than the 16" limit and the suppressor brings it above the legal limit.

May I be the first to say "Screw It".

You didn't think an open line like that could be left alone long on this place, did you??????

Thanks guys. I forgot about the <16" barrels but as I mentioned above, it's 16" so I'm good to go.

At 12:01AM on September 13th, I Dremmeled off the welds on the muzzle nut from my 'post-ban' AK-47 (that had enough U.S. parts) and screwed on an AK-74 style muzzlebreak. So I got some screwing in pretty early after the ban sunset.

Besides, if you don't have various extra FH's lying around (and a few extra crush/peel washers) you're not trying hard enough!
