Will a flash hider mounted directly on the muzzle/crown vs the shoulder of a barrel affect accuracy?
|

This is what I was referring to:
How well does the R3L-long flash hider work with the Scar 17. What is different about its design that allows it to mount to the thin shoulder? Will this work on the Razor 7.62? Thank You! It works fantastic - but I'm biased. It shoulders on the barrel crown instead of the shoulder. Where the flash hider would normally shoulder on a standard barrel, we've machined it larger to go over the barrel then it seats on the muzzle of the barrel. Yes, all of our muzzle devices work with both the Surge and the Razor. |

| I saw the info on this R3L. Only time will tell its effect on accuracy. I am not a fan of having any metal-to-metal contact with the actual crown of a barrel. I'd be worried that eventually the crown will be damaged from that contact either during installation or from percussion hammering against it with every round fired. I'm not a Scar 17 owner, so I'm not conversant with specific barrel and flash hider limitations. I do have a healthy respect for protecting the barrel crown, however. You are right to be asking the question. |
