Help with blank firing adapter!!!

**CPR** · 03-26-08, 21:47

So I built my Colt the way I liked it with a Noveske N4 barrel and a pinned Surefire FH556-212A (thanks Grant) and my Noveske N4 has a pinned AAC something or another. I wasn't thinking that I'd have to use one of these for a Robin Sage exercise, but here I am. Anyone have a clue if there's a BFA that will fit either of these? I talked to someone in the suppressor division at SF and it's a no-go. They don't make one. Not sure about AAC.

On a related note, it pains me to shoot blanks out of these guns. Will blanks cause any extra wear on an AR, other than being dirty? I don't want to use my HD gun if it's going to get torn up from the blanks.

Thanks,
Chris

Why are you using your own gun at Robin Sage?

Borrow another upper with a standard A2 Fh on it.

The Pineland Resistance Front has to bring their own weapons with them because the country has suffered under years of UN Sanctions and Naval blockade.

Its been awhile since I did a RS, so Im kinda rusty on who the players are

I believe the red M16 and yellow M4 BFAs only fit the A2 flashhider. I had spoken with Surefire last year about fitting an M9 bayonet over their FH and they said it wouldn't fit. Perhaps you can call them and see if they know of a BFA that is manufactured commercially that fits.

Gotcha, I never went through the Q course I was always injured at the wrong time.

Civvie OPFOR. I'm the bad guy.

I'm dreading it, but I may have to get an AK. I'm apparently SOL on the BFA. The yellow ones I have aren't long enough to fit over either FH.

I have. They don't know. I may try the one that fits a Vortex and cross my fingers.
