Forgive me if this has been asked. I searched and came up without.
How does the muzzle flash of a typical varmint rifle compare to that of a standard AR15 with a muzzle break? How easy/costly is it to have a varmint barrel threaded to accept muzzle breaks? Or is it not worth doing? Thank you! |

A muzzle brake will give you more flash. You may mean flash suppressor, and during daylight hours, you probably won't be able to see the flash, especially with a long varmint barrel. During dusk, flash will be more without a flash suppressor.
ETA: http://www.adcofirearms.com/shopservices/shop_.cfm?code=1 They can thread and crown your barrel for $65. If you plan on shooting during dusk or night, it is worth it. |

Another thing to consider when dealing with Flash Hinders is the length of the barrel. The shorter the more need for a FH and longer barrels you have complete burn of the powder so, you have less need perticularly if your varmint rifle has a bbl longer then 22". Most ARs are 16-20" and some as short as 7".
