All of the Phantom ones are good. MUCH better than the A1/A2 ones. If looks matter to you, the Phantom 5C1 looks the most like the standard A2 one though. |

I love my blackout
But the most praise I hear is for the vortex and the phantom |

The Vortex is very good. A friend has one on his gun and loves it.

I am probably the odd man out on flash hiders. I like the standard A2. However, I do like the look and function of the Vortex.

I'm going to have my Clinton era bbl threaded and put a flash hider on it. I'm leaning towards the A2 style, as it's cheap, and pretty short. Any other recommendations, and why? Thanks, A flash hider should hide flash. The two that are frequently talked about are the Vortex and Phantom. I chose the 5C1 because it works as well as the Vortex at 1/2 the price. See this thread for proof. there is a guy in the EE that sells them for about $22 delivered. |

I never understand these kinds of replys - in this kind of thread. What if the guy has a 20" barrel ? If so, do you people think that bbl. would really need a Phantom or a Vortex or a Blackout ?? 
To the OP: How long is the barrel ? |

Thanks for all the responses. I have a 16' bbl.
How hard/much money is it to have a bbl threaded? Is it a simple 50-70 dollar job, or enough of a hassel to move towards a lock screw type slip on FH? Thanks, |

Anyway, contact ADCO. The threading is a simple job for them ... Have them throw a $10.00 A2 birdcage FH on the end, and you are GTG. HTH. |

But at 16", the phantom and vortex WILL cut down on flash compared to the A2.
If it was a 20", I might tend to agree with Winn. You will see a difference with the 16. |

Going from next-to-nothing with an A2 on a 16" ... to, 'a little bit less than' next-to-nothing, with the others on a 16"... is going to be essentially indiscernible for 98.9% of the users. Not trying to start shit ... So with due respect, if that's your claim ... then it would be nice to see some sort of demonstration of it. |

During hours of daylight, you won't see much flash from many rifles with 16" or longer barrels. I got a Vortex because it doesn't have to be timed. You just screw it on and go. I plan on buying an AAC Ranger 2 suppressor, so I can switch the two between my two rifles depending on which on I'm shooting.
If I wasn't going to use a suppressor, I'd just keep the A2 that I have on it. I don't shoot at dusk or dawn. |
