I have a preban Colt Sporter that I bought stock (in factory condition) and have given it a facelift. I'll post the finished product next week, however I'm thinking about changing out my standard A2 flash suppressor. Is this recommended or should I keep this one. Being my first preban, I have never changed a suppressor out. Is it a right-handed thread or a left-handed thread? Will I need a new peel/crush washer? And finally what other flash suppressors do you gents recommend and where to buy? Thanks much, Nick |

I like the look of the A2 F/H the best, but there are others out there that work much better. I like the look of the Phantom or the Vortex best on a carbine-length AR, and of those 2 I have only used the Vortex. It's nice!! Threads are right-hand, you will probably need a set of peel washers, which are ridiculously expensive for what they are. I have used them, the old lock washer that came on my SP-1, and the new crush washer. I had to file down the thickness of the crush washer to make it work, and would have rather used the peel washer, but the crush washer was a gift. Never look gift AR parts in the teeth....... Check out Bushmaster, CMMG, or some of the other parts places for flash suppressors. Don't torque the F/H down too much!! Not sure what the torque spec is, but it isn't a whole ton....... Good luck........ |
