ATRS "Eliminator" flash hider now with video comparison

I know many of the RFB owners running AR brakes/hiders currently. Would it be possible to test an eliminator with 5/8 threads on an RFB to see its performance?

According to computer generated data it would not be a good plan, the chances of damage being caused to the action or flash hider due to extremely high backpressure.
Having a gun blow up during an experiment is just not cool.

The Eliminator was designed for a specified amount of exiting gas generated by the 223 and 300 whisper calibers. We never worked out the numbers for 308.

Any chance of getting one of these to put on a 6.8 spc? Shouldn't have much more gas than a 223.

It should not be a big issue. You would need to use the 1 for the 300 Blackout/ Whisper. It will not be as efficient due to the larger exit bore diameter. The other potential problem may be the threads on your barrel. The 300 version is threaded 5/8x24

We just finished a new flash hider that you should also be aware of. I hope to have photos up in the next day or 2. The new flash hider is just as effective, HAS some muzzle control attributes and is far less heavy and is also less expensive.:cool:
Stay tuned, more to come in the next day or 2:D
 
Photos of the new "LFE' Flash hider
We will be shooting another video comparison similar to what we did with our Eliminator flash hider in the next few weeks.
Expect about the same results.

Greetings, I've pretty much decided to purchase the Noveske Flaming Pig for it's effectiveness for cycling 7.5" SBRs/AR pistols. That is until I discovered the ATRS Eliminator. I watched the flash hider comparison video on YouTube and was very impressed with the Eliminator's flash suppression capabilities. I'm interested to know if it is as equally effective as the Flaming Pig with regards to improving the cyclic operation of barrels 10" and shorter. Is it inherent in the design of these oversized flash supressors? Thanks.

Our Eliminator like the Noveske Flaming Pig and Dlask version of the pig all increase dwell time and this seems to help cycling with the short barrelled guns.

Thanks. I will adjust my build plans accordingly and save a bit extra for the ATRS Eliminator. Your timely response is much appreciated.

As I do not have a Vortex as they are not legally exported from the USA, I don't know yet. We tried our product against a Dlask version of the Vortex and
our product reduced the flash better.

IF someone has a Smith Vortex that they could lend us to compare it to it would be great, the more flash hiders we can A-B test against the better.

If you're still looking for a Vortex I have one on the way right now you guys could try when it arrives. I ordered one of your LFEs as well which is what I'll likely end up keeping for my Tavor.
 
the AGW linear comp I have is throwing alot of flamage from my nea PDW. Very distracting esp during low light. I think I will have to try this!!! too bad I'm poor right now.
 
I installed my ATRS LFE flash hider last night. I wasn't able to get it indexed properly with the crush washer and I ended up using the jam-nut from my old A2 birdcage. With the crush washer I was over 180 degrees out when finger tight. I tried flipping the washer the other way and had the same results. Any hints for getting it indexed correctly? The jam-nut works fine for now but ideally I'd rather snug it up using the crush washer.

Sounds like the thread tenon on the barrel is slightly longer than it should be, sight unseen it is hard to say, but possibly a shim style washer behind a crush would solve the problem?
If possible bring it by and let us see what we can do to help you with it.

Thanks, I'll try and bring it by sometime when I'm in the city. Works good as-is for now though.
