I got this new upper and it has a a2 flash hider on it. I dont really care for a flash hider and was wondering if there were some thread protectors out there that would cover the barrel threads and make it near seemless?
If any one knows I sure would appreciate the help. On a side note what the heck is the use of a flash hider anyway? I understand compensators and things of that nature, but dont get the flash hider? |

Well looking at dictionary.com we have the following: flash –noun 1. a brief, sudden burst of bright light: a flash of lightning. hide –verb (used with object) 1. to conceal from sight; prevent from being seen or discovered: Where did she hide her jewels? Therefore a flash hider hides the muzzle flash of the weapon being fired, hence the name flash hider. |

Take the rifle out some night and fire off a couple rounds, then remove the flash hider and fire some more. Tell me if you notice a difference. |

I guess my point is what the hell do I need a flash suppressor for? Im not military or LEO
I know it dampens the flash but not so much you cant see it? Look I dont need one and I just want to know if people make a thread protector to cover the threads. I cant seem to find one. Oh does anyone care to give me the definition of a jack ass. Oh never mind see half of the people that posted on this thread
