Steger SL8 Clamp-On Flash Hider - COMING SOON

[Morc]

He obviously meant ID dude.

Can I just ask my entirely reasonable question in peace?

Do you see the specs of the internal diameter of the flash hider on the Steger website and what calibers it supports? I sure don't.
Their website says they support the TRG21 and Remington 700 which have 308 variants.

Is the flash hider designed in a way where the muzzle side diameter is the same between models and only the diameter of the clamping mechanism changes?
If the SL8 variant isn't compatible then would the R700 or TRG21 option work? There's a lot of variability in those platforms so diameter is hard to determine.

Thanks Captain Obvious for your mindless assumption.

Maybe I already checked that the barrel diameter is very close. 0.762" vs 0.788″.
Then went to the Steger website to see if they list any specs and they don't show anything.

Hence the entirely reasonable question.

Yes sure go ahead.

Any guess if this would work on a 308 FNH FNAR?

This product is made specifically for Heckler & Koch SL8, it does not fit any other rifle other than the SL8.

LOL. Work out if a FLASH HIDER makes your rifle too heavy.

You have terrible reading comprehension, nowhere did I say I found it too heavy, the gun is simply front heavy due to the barrel and that is a fact. But LMAO just mindlessly add #### to the end of a bull barrel with no care on gun that's weight distribution is disproportionately skewed to the front.

It's a precision rifle designed for supported shooting, I don't believe h&k put any real thought into weight distribution. That said, I'll be picking one of these up.

Who is carrying this??

[$kull]

I would try one. Maybe in combo with the recent G36 conversion announcement

On second thought, it is pricey.
Another factor is how it will affect barrel harmonics. The statement says/implies this clamp on device wont affect shooting patterns. I have a hard time believing this.
Like barrel tuners, it could improve things, but it could make things worse as well.

What g36 announcement? Can you link?
