Set screw FH’s/brakes can have a tendency to vibrate loose. A better option would be sending the barrel off for threading and installation of a conventional FH.

If you dont mind it "permanently" installed  I would just go with a Vortex It would be much cheaper than buying a new barrel, or having the existing one threaded.

I once got hold of a bunch of fake flash hiders that looked like the real deal during the Billy years. They were just closed cage. What we were doing during the ban was take one set screw out at a time and center punching the barrel thru each hole. Then we would drill a small divet for the set screw to bite into. Then we would either locktite the set screws or get them tight and weld them and clean up the welds. They looked like preban rifles once they were touched up. They never came loose either.  It would work for you.
