The origin is that it keeps your butt out of jail. Those are permanently mounted on the 11.5 inch barrel they also sell in order to get you on the legal side of 16 inches.
My opinion is that if you legally have to have 16 inches, you might as well get a barrel that long in order to achieve a higher velocity. |

I thought the ATF considered the original XM177 muzzle device as a type of suppressor requiring a Class 3 tax stamp?
I could be wrong!  This was despite the fact that with the XM177 muzzle device, the decibels actually increased! Eric The(UrbanLegend?)Hun

Sorry, I need to clarify.
I know that the 5.5" flashhider is permanently attached to give 16 inches. It is just that I have never seen this "hole" type flashider as opposed to the "regular" XM177 sytle flashider with slots. Does anyone have experience with the "hole" type? Thanks

Hmmm, I have both of those muzzle devices, but I have never fired either one of them on a weapon!
Sorry, but I tend to collect AR-15/M-16 muzzle devices just for the heck of it! Eric The(Collector)Hun
