Flash hider for my AR. What should I get? Who sells them?

[JeffMan]

Who sells flash hiders for ARs? I want to replace my STAG Model-1 16" muzzle break.

What is cool and reasonably cheap? Also, I'd rather not add a lot of length to the barrel.

Best bet is to get A2 flash hider. Should be about $10.

Any pics of the Stag?

 

[Paulinski]

Sure

Can I hijack this thread and ask which side the bevel on the crush washer goes.
Towards the reciever or the flash hider?

I can't see anything on ar15.com

 

[JeffMan]

Sure

Thats the one I've got. What is it? Is it any good?

Should I even go to the A2 or what?

My Colt M4A1 in Afghan had a crush washer - the thin part was towards the receiver and the thicker part was towards the FH

Thanks!

Bump to find out if this STAG break is any good (highly regarded) or if I should get an A2?

The Stag brake is very effective, but it is loud. I would simply replace it with the already mentioned A2 Flash hider and crush washer and be done with it.

Any reason to prefer a Vortex over an A2?

Far more effective flash hider

Correct. The standard A2 does a mediocre job at best compared to the aftermarket ones available now.

I run the Smith Vortecs on my 3 ARs 2x 556 and 1x 9mm

Theses work great

We keep a few different choices in stock normally. Look under the Rock River Arms parts pricing on our website. I believe right now we have the

RRA-AR0001A A2
RRA-AR0117LE LE Muzzle Brake
RRA-AR0117T Tactical

We usually carry the AR001V Vortex as well but we're sold out at the moment.

I just put the Yankee Hill FS/comp on mine, looks sweet and works great
