The form 4 on my MINI was delivered to the BATFE yesterday, so I am getting close enough that I need to start thinking about how to attach it to my SCAR. I currently have a mb556k, but the SCAR is in process to become a 10.5 inch SBR (form 1 is about a month ahead of the MINI's form 4) and I'm not sure the mb556k is what I am looking for. Reason being, a brake on a 10.5 could potentially be unbearable when shooting unsuppressed, and I'd also like a shorter device if possible.

I have my eyes on a FH556-215. Supposedly it is awesome as a flash hider. My only concern is that I know that the model it supersedes, the fh556-212 is somewhat questionable in terms of poi shift and repeatability (just from reading up.)

Anyone have any input? Alternatives?

Thanks for your time,

Re: Surefire experts- muzzle device questions

If you are looking at a flash hider instead of a muzzle brake I would look at the fh556-212A over the fh556-215A. The 212A is incredible at reducing flash and I haven't noticed shift issues with any of mine compared to the muzzle brakes. The 215A flash hider is nice but the reason I like the 212A better is it has a closed end so it makes a better mounting solution and I know of open prong flash hiders of other manufacters breaking and it makes it a flash enhancer.

Pm me your email I have something I want to show you.
