Question for Rsilvers, Freddy, Mike or Kevin (or anyone actually)

Gents, I own one of your M42k '07 cans. I received a second flash hider (thanks, Freddy!) and it's the "newer"(?) type as opposed to the one that came with the can.

I understand that the "newer" style is the one that will be sent when one orders an extra fh from now on, can you confirm this? Also, which fh type will the newly ordered cans come with? I'm just curious, that's all.

Also, what can you tell us about the differences between the two? Any pros or cons of one over the other?

Thanks.

I am not with AAC, but that new one (3 prong) is the Blackout Flash hider. They have some pictures over on silencertalk.com of night time flash hider testing and by the pictures the Blackout out was about the best flash hider tested. Meaning being shot without the can on it. They just have started selling these here recently. I think that they will come with SCAR H, M4/SPR cans new, but not sure about the M42K 07. My M42K 07 came with the Phantom like the other one you have. I plan on ordering a few of the Blackout's cause I really like the three prong look and if their flash hider test hold true it really does a good job of killing the flash. Hope that helps

I'll trade you a standard mount for the Blackout if you want.:D

Nah, I'll pass :cool: the Blackout went on the SBR and the original on another rifle. In fact, I gotta get one more Blackout.

I just wanted to see what AAC could share with us here.

The BLACKOUT has less flash and is more durable. It has less flash than a Smith Vortex, Phantom, and BE Meyers when tested on a 10 inch barrel rifle. If you want the best flash suppressor you can buy, that is it -- even if you do not plan to mount a silencer.

I do not know which one comes with the can. If you want to ensure a BLACKOUT you need to specifically order it.
