I'm thinking the OP is unlikely to want to grind his muzzle into the floor of a vehicle (are you OP?) and anyone who grinds crud into the end of their barrels deserves what's coming.
Your gun has a recessed crown like all the millions of bolt gun owners throughout the world. They don't have muzzle devices and more importantly, don't want or need them. If you want the best accuracy then don't put anything on the end that might compromise the gas flow blasting out from behind the bullet as it exits. You don't want to introduce yaw in the bullet for the sake of wanting more crown protection than you need.
(No offence Kilco but your justification for a flash hider doesn't stack up when compared to the millions of shooters who also use their target-crown bolt guns in the field. I agree, a thread on an AR is almost crying out for something like a flash hider to complete the military provenance 'look' but from a purely practical point of view, if the barrel is crowned then it's not needed).
