A $15 or $20 A1 or A2 wii do the job, unless you want something fancy.

Because its a .22 any one will do- its going to be just for looks.

It will do nothing for performance or flash and will be entirely for cosmetic effect so just pick one that looks cool and is in your price range.
A 22 doesn't have the pressure required to take advantage of a brake and a 16 inch will be long enough to burn all the powder by the time the bullet leaves the muzzle.

+1. I put an A2 on my 12" 10/22 SOCOM replica.

I use a linear compensator on my 16" 22lr. Does nothing for muzzle flip but sure throws the noise away from the shooter very well.

I want to put the same flash hider on it. Where did you get yours? DId you use a crusher?

I recently purchased a factory contoured 11.5" barrel. I want to put the same flash hider on it. Where did you get yours? DId you use a crusher?

It is just a standard A2 flash hider for the AR-15, any AR dealer should have them on the shelf. I think I bought it from Fabsports but my memory is a bit hazy on that. Yes, I used the crush washer. There is no way to properly index it if you don't use a crush washer or the peel and stick washers.

We have lots of different options, including the retro 3 prong & the slip over that looks like a fake suppressor, HERE.

mmattock: where did you get your UTG quad rail? I love the look, does it add a lot of weight?]
