A2 flash hider alone plus the 14.5" barrel is too short. there is a spacer nut that you would have to add that will put it at 16".
You also might want to check on your current barrel length because from what you said earlier, it sounds like your barrel is actually 16" but your thinking it might really be 14.5"....I have a fake FS but actual barrel is 16" but the FFS is pressed on 'over' the barrel no taking any length out. |

I certainly hope the ATF isn't considering the ownership of a flash hider to constitute "conversion parts" in the same way M16 parts do.

If you have a fake FS that the barrel extends through, then your barrel should be 16.1" long already.
However, because your barrel was turned down so much in order to install the fake FS, you won't be able to thread it to fit a standard FS. Your best bet would be to buy yourself a new barrel in the configuration you want, and when the time comes, install that barrel on your lower. To fix your current barrel, gunsmithing costs would come near, and possibly exceed the cost of replacing the barrel entirely. -Troy |

Thanks thats good info. My current barrel is 16.1" total with the fake flash hider pressed over the barrel. Maybe I'll just leave it alone and get another upper.
Thanks, Eric |

The BAN Is never going to Die and anyone that thinks it is has Lost their Mind !!!!! I guess then I have lost my mind, as everything I read points to no "new" AWB (as we know the current ban dies in Sept. 2004 regardless what happens). I am sticking with what House Majority Leader Tom Delay says. |
