Variable Wrote:I'm assuming a lot here (and we know what happens when I "assume"), but in general Arfcom style parlance---- When someone wants an "extended A2 Flash hider" it is generally because they have a 14.5" M4 style barrel, and they want to permanently attach the extended flash hider to make the legal barrel length of 16". Some barrel makers were sly, and made their's 14.7", and thus allowed the permanent attachment of regular A2 hiders and still made legal length.
In guessing based on context, I'm assuming the above. I could be completely wrong though.
Molar: Do you have a 14.5" Grendel barrel that's threaded 9/16x24? Are you seeking an extended flash hider for the purpose of pinning/silver soldering your 14.5" barrel to legal length, while still keeping the 14.5", thus negating the need for a short barreled rifle stamp?
You are assuming correctly.
I was looking for an extended A2 like Sabre used to make. By the time I buy a BCM and pay ADCO to rethread it, I may as well buy a Smith vortex.
