Just my second noobie post, the first being under the "ArmaLites any good?" topic of 4/2 by RifleJ. Didn't mean to hijack his thread; just wanted to tell him about my first experience with my new ArmaLite.  I'll eventually be sending my M15 Ar2 20" HBAR post-ban off to,  most likely, ADCO for evil re-mascualinization. 1.) If a Vortex FS produces a slightly less bright flash picture than a Phantom 5C2, does it emit a correspondingly quieter report? 2.) Rather than installing a new FSB, will a silver-soldered bayo lug on to the original FSB be sturdy enough to lance anything more substantial than, say, one of Gunny Ermey's screaming banzai watermelons? 3.) Will the older M7 bayonet fit over a Vortex or Phantom 5C2 FS? Thanks. - Bugler

1. If a flash suppressor cuts down the sound pressure level, it would be classified as a sound suppressor and subject to NFA. Therefore, there should be no difference in the sound signature between the two flash suppressors mentioned.

2. I'd say to go with a new FSB myself.

3. I'd say that it would fit just fine, as they should have the same OD as a regular A2 flash suppressor.

Thanks for your reply, M4Madness. Your avatar is much more re-assuring than the Good Housekeeping Seal. Just concerned that monkeying( no offense certainly meant to ADCO) with the original FSB, as non-zeroed as it remains, might not be a good idea. Thanks  for your patience and advice. - Bugler

Apologies for the dupe.

Silver-soldered bayo lug is purely cosmetic.  Why waste the time?  On the other hand, a nice way to say FU to the former regime.  Must really suck to be out of power.

I would not change FSB on my AR's just to get a bayo lug.  I DO want threadded barrels, and have one off being threaded now.
