Polytech m305 flash hider replacement

[ksb122]

Hello, was wondering if anyone could direct me to a website where I could buy a new front sight for the m305? I'd like to remove the flash hider(I understand it's only decoration on my model) and replace. Thanks very much

Thanks.

Would getting something like this work? http://www.brownells.com/rifle-part...ppressor-muzzle-brake-prod27563.aspx?psize=96

Would that be enough for a gunsmith to replace my stock suppressor and re-use the stock front sights that came with the gun? Or would I have to buy new front sights as well?

Just out of curiosity, why are you replacing your flash hider with a different flash hider? Is it a cosmetics thing?

"...only decoration..." Nope. Mind you, a flash hider doesn't actually eliminate the muzzle flash. It just spreads it out a bit. The star shaped MF you see in pictures/movies is caused by the FH. They don't do anything in day light anyway.

m14 FH reduces muzzle rise a little bit. muzzle flash not so much. recoil not so much

For only decoration, it could be like my m305, which has the flash hider, but there are no actual cuts in the flash hider, so its just an add on to the barrel if that makes any sense.

I'll be doing a review of a direct thread on break soon

Great if you run rail mounted optics on your modified M14S/M305

Canadian made.

SEI 5/8 24 threaded castle nut adapter with a thread protector , for those looking to retain front sight while keeping muzzle options

Yes exactly... I hate superficial!

Bakersfield7.62 - looks sweet, baisicly what I'm looking for. Ideally install it myself, save some dollars though I don't have the tools and probably not the skill/experience.

I'd like either a muzzle break or flash hider.. or just front sights with the muzzle cleaned up. My understanding of the poly m305 is that the flash hider is purely cosmetic, no actual function.

I think most (if not all) of the M305s being imported these days have fully functional flash hiders, yours might be an older import if there are no vent grooves cut. That SEI adapter looks like it would be great to try out.

Hi, bought mine 3 years ago and had exactly the same phony flash hider. Have you tried Hungry. I got mine with FS from him.
Good luck

Another option is to move the sight to the gas system. the end result is the ability to add remove recoil suppressor etc and not have to sight in the rifle everytime. It requires a skilled gunsmith.

If the spines on your flash hider are not cut then it is only for decoration. If the spines are cut and you are happy with the front sight keep it.

M14/M305 without flash hider will produce a flash as large as a beach ball. Check it out on youtube yourself. The issue flash hider is surprisingly effective. Other new designs are even better.
