Gentlemen, Esteemed Warriors, and Vile Unwashed of the Horde: We have the opportunity to be the first in the nation to have a 5/8x24 version of Faxon's new "Flame" Muzzlok three-prong flash hider. MSRP $60. If we do it here as a group buy, the Horde, of course, would pay less.
I think it looks cool. I like that it doesn't need a crush washer, but is timed by the interaction of the lock nut and the muzzle device. Easier to install and remove than a crush washer system. Sometimes I want to test accuracy on a barrel without the device, or I want to easily remove it to mount the Magnetospeed. Others might have a direct-threaded can.
From what I've seen, prong flash hiders are the way to go if one is really serious about flash suppression — for home defense, early morning and late afternoon hunting, or for use with night vision, for example. At least that's what I see in test after test and read in a military study. And the longer the prongs, the better, but obviously one has to make a reasonable compromise and there is a point of diminishing returns.
Here's a summary of just some of the competition:
Smith Vortex $60.
AAC Blackout $59.
Surefire 3P Eliminator $53.
Wilson Accu-Tac $52.
I have no doubt the new Faxon Flame Muzzlok is just as effective as any other prong-type hider. And I'm particularly interested in it for those fire-breathin' SBRs.
You guys interested in getting a quality lock-nut system for about the price of a crush washer system?
Let's hear your thoughts.
