I have the standard "bird cage" flash hider on my Oly, when I was in the gun shop the other day the guy behind the counter tried to sell me one that didn't have the "cut outs" on the bottom. I told him I already had one at home and he told me I should put it on my weapon because "it is better!" What's the difference? One is solid on the bottom and the other isn't, how could one be any better than the other? - Clint hinking.gif http://ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=270911 Nevermind I just read this and pretty much answered my own question........... |
Your flash hider is just fine. The A2-style flash hider has one slot missing-it's left closed and assembled on the bottom to reduce a shooter's dust signature when shooting prone. THAT'S ALL. Your gun shop guy wants to make some money off of you. You do NOT need to help him do that.
