Huxwrx 556 QD flash hider works well at reducing visible flash. The QD mount interfaces with their suppressors directly. Concussion to the sides is heavy though - dont stand next to other shooters. Threading was true to 1/2x28.
Huxwrx flash hider with QD mount interfaces with their suppressors. Flash signature off bare is noticeably reduced compared to an A2 flash hider. Threading was true to 1/2x28, used a crush washer to time it. Holds zero with the suppressor mounted no shift in POI.
stays tight
flow through design dumps a lot of the side blast forward, the guy next to me at the range noticed. felt recoil dropped vs an A2, muzzle stays flatter. timing is via crush washer in the box
