Valmet flash hider question...

[TED]

Is the valmet pronged flash hider effective?

I don't see why it wouldn't be just as effective as any other three prong flash hider but apparently it's rare enough that I can't find any info about it's actual effectiveness.

I am hypothesizing about the possibility of mounting a v a l m e t pronged flash hider on a dissipator style build with the hopes that I'd be able to then mount a v a l m e t bayonet. A regular M7 M9 bayonet being not possible to mount on a dissipator.

I know it's a weird idea but I'm a weird person so I'm cool with it.

Yes, the Valmet flash hider is very effective at hiding flash. There was a company, a few years ago, that made them in 1/2x28 for the AR. By all accounts, they worked very well.

I stumble across a reference to those that you are talking about. They were made by Suarez in 2014 and did not have the bayonet lug. And, they are long long gone.

Bummer!

Yup, those are the ones!

I just found out what the bayonets themselves cost if you can find one...

Mission aborted!

Arrg!
