When hunting if there isn't time to put the plugs in you'll regret having that comp on. For that reason, I only use comps at the range. I personally use comps when I'm not using a thread protector.Īnd again I'll add.if you're using a comp THAT WORKS as well the manufacturers claim (only a couple brands IMO) you'd better be putting in some ear plugs. A combo flash/comp is simply a compromise that sacrifices one to gain little on the other. To a point.a flash hider "may" help at night if that's what you want to do. At least that was my thought at the time I bought the ACC flash hider.īut if I could get the flash hider/compensator it might be the best of both worlds. The flash hider is for shooting at night without so much flash as to lose sight of the coyote at night. Battlecomp and Griffin are excellent, but they aren't cheap. IMO the only one worth having on an AR is the comp so you can see hits easier and quicker follow up shots. Comps and brakes are LOUD (unless its a linear comp). "Ī flash hider hides flash, a compensator keeps the barrel down, a muzzle brake helps to reduce felt recoil. But I want to be able to shoot more accurately and have good groups (precision). AAC also makes a combo unit that's both a flash hider and a compensator. "But I'm not wondering if I got the right thing. Besides it only about 20 deg F outside and the frost on my trucks windshield makes me stay inside where it's nice an warm. But since I got my AR15 that's all I can think about. Normally this time of the year I'm totally thinking about fishing. Since I can't get out and hunt right now (season is over and I don't have any private property to hunt) I plan on just going to the range to shoot more.

Now that I have an idea how the Ambush Firearms Modular Float 12" tube is attached to the upper receiver I'm sure I can easily put the flash hider onto my barrel.īut I'm not wondering if I got the right thing. Yesterday I finally got the time and check out some U tube videos that showed how to build a AR15 upper. The rifle comes with a thread protector cap threaded onto the end of the barrel. My Ambush Firearms 5.56 AR15 comes with the end of the barrel already threaded. Heck I even buy the tool that they make to install the Flash Hider onto the barrel. I'll make one or just buy a upper receiver vice to hold the rifle in the metal vice while I put on the Advanced Armament Corp's Black Out Flash Hider. Unfortunately the type of Flash Hider I bought does not use a crush washer.
