Do the Swiss Arms rifles have integreted/non-removable flash hiders or are the barrel ends threaded? Just thinking I haven't seen any Swill Arms with aftermarket brakes on them.
 
The CQB flash hiders are removable.

I think if the barrel has the grenade ring then expect an integral flash hider.
 
I have seen 2 PE90's with a threaded flash hiders, they were a custom orders from Swiss Arms and were for sale about a year ago. I think the guy took a 1 1/2 years to get them just to flog them on the E&E because he had different projects on the go, and needed the $.
 
Swiss rifle's and carbine's come with 1in7 barrels and 1in10 barrels. Both models of barrel do NOT have removable flash hiders as they are machined as part of the barrel.

As far as I know, most 1in7's have the interior of the flash hider threaded. I've heard some of them do not have this, but to my knowledge, most 1in7's are threaded. The 1in7 barrel I just had removed from my CG has a threaded flash hider.

The 1in10's have no threading.

The CQB's have removable flash hiders.
 
The interior threads are also for suppressors that are designed to thread into them. Used them before, pretty good set up, can goes right over the flash hider.

Steve, my Black Special Target has the 1-10" twist and has the threaded muzzlebrake.

Very cool man, yours is the first 1in10" twist I have heard that has a threaded muzzle. Have you measured the Twist yourself??? If not I suggest doing so, I have heard of a few people being sold a 1in10 only to find out it's a 1in7 (or vice versa), even by retailers. So I would measure myself.

But if it is a 1in10 with a threaded muzzle, yous is the first I've heard of...

On the standard rifle the FH is machined out of the barrel, all one piece.


 
Yes, I measured the barrel twist with a patch and cleaning rod. When I first received the rifle I was very excited as I thought I had a 1-7" because of the threaded end. But no matter how many times I tried it was always 10. It won't shoot the Hornady 75gr factory ammo at all, but I've had really good groups with handloads using 68gr Hornady, and with Nosler 40gr all over Viht powder.

Then it truly is the first 1in10 I've seen with a threaded flash hider
 
I purchased one off a retailer and was insisted on that it was 1/10. Only when I got it in my hands and measured it after seeing the threaded muzzle did I confirm that it was 1/7, which is the reason I sold mine and am still on the lookout for a 1/10.

Why not take it up with the retailer???

I would not have let them get away with that....Where did that occur if you don't mind my asking?

I bought it from an out of province retailer so I didn't want to deal with the hassle of shipping, especially when they gave me such a great deal on the rifle to begin with. I ended up getting equal trade-in value for it at my LGS so I wasn't too upset over it. It was through Fishing World, I asked them to double check the twist rate and was told 1/10 but I guess I was either just told what I wanted to hear or there was a genuine mix up.
 
I've never seen it done but I can't see why not, it's 20" so you have 1.5" of safe cutoff room. I think the flash hider prongs are only about 1" long so you should have lots of room to safely cut it off and thread it. An AAC micro muzzle brake in 1/2x28 would looks sweet on that!
