Company needs to make a shorter version of the Vortex and Phantom for 16" rifles. They just look too long. I'm sure they can easily cut off about 1/2 inch and it'll still perform as advertised.

If they could don't you think they would?

I haven't, but others have with favorable results. Does shortening the tines affect its reputation as the best FH out there - probably, but I have no data to support or deny that. |

It is dimensionally identical to an Ops Inc brake. IIRC, I take off just over .2" |

Mongo, how long are the factory tines on the vortex? How much for your version? Anyway to get it even shorter? I'm thinking about taking about 1/3 off the original....

You supply the Vortex and tell me what you want done to it and I can very likely do whatever you want. |

Mongo--
Why does that Vortex have external threads? |

It is physically and dimensionally identical to the Ops Inc brake. The Ops Inc suppressor would thread onto the flash hider. That's all theoretical, of course, as I can't own a suppressor in MI, and Ops Inc cans aren't, as of yet, available to the public. So, for now, it's just for show. Something different. |

They can, they're made 1.5" for a reason. To add on a 14.5" bbl for a legal 16". I'd buy a Phantom on a A2 length in a second. I'll probably buy one anyway . I do understand where A96 is coming from. If the extra length is really neccessary for it to work properly then Oh Well, I'll have a longer rifle.
