That's the guy from ebay. I ordered them and they are rock solid. Don't think I will ever need another pair again & yes he ships to us also.
 
Yep I've got the same pair, they work great and are as mentioned rock solid.
No problem with comms or shipping to Canada.

You should go to one of Hungry's clinics.

Also, if you don't already know, the Norc/Poly flash hiders are welded on by two nasty spot welds on the bottom...they're a ##### to get off.

I used my bench grinder with semi circular cuts to remove one. I had to grind down into the bottom of the hider in a circle, till I was almost through the welds and hider, but not through enough to hurt the barrel. Suddenly the welds let go and I was able to drive that baby off.

Finding a good hider to replace it isn't so easy or cheap unfortunately.
 
At the Halifax clinic NavyShooter and Fusilier had a great technique for busting the welds.
I'll let them publish the details, but basically it was a shock whack with a brass driver and mallet to each weld, then keep tapping the flash hider assy while turning the castle nut down to walk it off. Worked great. We didn't have to drill it out or anything.
In all but one case, the original flash hiders were cleaned up and remounted.

*The whack was applied at the base of hider inline with the barrel, one good whack to each weld spot.
 
I'm with dent on this one. Navyshooter showed (really he schooled me) a new technique for removing the welds, and we removed about 6 or 8 of the flash hiders all in that Halifax M14 Clinic afternoon.

Thanks to NavyShooter, our dicks are intact. Now if we could only source some bayonet lugged flash suppressors because I just checked over at Brownells and their Sproingfield Armory flash suppressors DO NOT have the bayonet lugs!

I don't want to paint myself as a bayonet lug snob, but really I am! :eek:

Okay back to the flash suppressor castle nut pliers discussion.... :nest:
 
On the topic of castle nut pliers, here is a pic of this evenings project.
Worked great, and another tool for the m14 kit.

Kind of funny that I took an hour and a half to file it down, then it took seconds to tighten the castle nut.

Dent,
that is the tool Thomas M14 DR uses to remove flashiders .... unscrew the castle nut and tension it against the front of the flashider, and a few hits should pop the welds.

It is the tension that makes it all happen happily.


Personally, to remove flashiders, I use Mr. CHOP SAW.

Hey Lazerus2000, after you chop the flash hider off do you have to re-crown it? I was thinking of removing the flash hider off mine, but then I would have to get a barrel cap and gas block front sight. I thought about using the hack saw.
 
Something was mentioned at the halifax clinic about the norc castle nuts being different thread than SA, so to avoid a pita hold onto your nuts when removing the flash hiders :p

hey, if you have the bayonet, you HAVE to have the rifle- it's one of those "rules"- just like the compensator- and of course, the m7 simply won't do on your ar15a2 or later - it's GOT to be an m9- and you're not being a snob-
i'd still love to see an in-country flashider configs for the m7/m9 series but chambered to screw on to the m14- the m6 (even the german ones) are getting hard to find- there's no trouble with the m7/m9
