A 16" 9mm? Does it have any flash now?

That's a good question, I don't have it yet. Was wondering if folks here would have any experience on this. I can't imagine it would have much, so other than the coolness factor it might serve no purpose, and would actually limit which lowers it could go on. Definitely no need for a brake on it.

Flash hider is not needed on any pistol caliber uppers that I have, .45 and 9mm. other than cool factor.

Thanks Paul, just what I was looking for. I think it will look bling bling enough on the preban lower with telestock, M4 RAS, KAC verticle grip and maybe a light system... Gettin psyched!

Another option (assuming you want a flash hider): have the barrel threaded so you don't have to permamently attach anything. You just need to keep it on a preban lower until next fall.
Nothing against crowned muzzles, but if you're going to add all that high-end stuff anyways, you might as well go all the way. |

Another option is to thread the barrel then "permanently (silver solder)" attach a 3 lug adapter to the threaded barrel so you won't have to worry if you put the barrel on a POST ban lower.
You can then put on a 3 lug flash hider or if it goes on a postban, a 3 lug Muzzlebreak. Below is a picture of mine on my RR Colt. It is showing a 3lug flash hider from Gemtech (no longer made). [img]http://home.cfl.rr.com/c3stuff/m16/colt_curved.jpg[/img] |

Another option is the thread it for a can.

What type of mags are those curved puppies and what block takes them?

They are curved madsen mags.
Any block works. I mainly use factory Colt mags for the bolt hold open feature which is handy for SMG competitions. I have all the details here: [url]http://www.c3junkie.com[/url] |

Neat, I just checked that site out. Are the modified Suomi mags legal? I mean, you welt the colt mag on and you no longer can use the Suomi mag in its original weapon can you?

All my suomi/M16 9mm and suomi/Uzi drums are PREBAN. They were made before 1994.
You are correct, you cannot do that today. |

I would put somthing on the barrel just for looks.
Every time I see a crowned barrel, the rifle just looks like it's missing somthing. Dos'nt matter how many other goodies are on it. |

Back when I had a 16" 9mm I had No flash whatsoever...Now that It's a 10" 9mm I have a very little flash...Curiously The rifle runs a lot cleaner with 6"'s less barrel as well....UNDERDOG

This may be too "retro" considering all the 21st Century AR stuff you're going to stick on there, but what I wanted to do with one I JUST let slip through my fingers [>(] was to have the barrel shortened to either 11.5" or 12.5" and add a 5.5" or 4.5" CAR style supressor on it.
Like Underdog mentioned, there are definite benefits to having a short bbl on your 9mm AR as opposed to 5.56. It weighs less, runs cleaner, and while I don't know for sure, I would suspect that muzzle velocity might be a little HIGHER from a 10" - 12" bbl than from a 16"???? |

Car style flash suppressor... now that sounds interesting... but once done it will forever have to be on a preban lower... still, could be pretty bad ass!
