Excellent piece of kit
By: JP on 24 March 2022Flash Hider & Blast Shield is spendy - but worth it, particularly if you shoot with tubed or digital IR night vision sights. Eliminates flash and sensor white-out on shot release, which is great for seeing result downrange and avoiding damage to sensitive components. Made from steel, the birdcage type flash hider and blast shield do add a bit of weight to the end of the rifle. I have two of these and have found they don't have any noticeable impact on precision and POI shift after installation was fractional - easily corrected by re-zeroing. Improvements for future could be changing from bluing to nitride coating or cerakote. Bluing isn't rust-protective in any real way and keeping a muzzle device oil protected can cause issues with oil burn-off and more fouling. When you then clean baked-on carbon/propellant residue out of a muzzle device, this will likely impact the bluing, depending on the cleaning agent used. The spanner flats on the device are also quite slim, so not particularly easy to get a spanner on them to tighten the flash hider onto the muzzle. These are minor issues and overall, this is a great bit of kit. Quality of machining is excellent. Strongly recommend.
