    You can choose which thread pattern but it will be a BLACKOUT which is what everyone should want. It is the best flash hider made by anyone. A military group upgraded from BE Meyers and is sending back rave reviews and using them daily in combat on their HK-416s.
    I just read another thread here about the blackout FH pinging, which is why I asked about sub'ing out the FH.

    I do appreciate the info on the 2000.

    The following flash suppressor have a ping:

    HK 4-prong from G36-K.
    Smith Vortex
    BE Meyers
    Sig 552
    BLACKOUT

    If you get an M4-1000, you can find an old Phantom for it. But then it would be less durable and have more flash.

    Are they pinging suppressed or when the can isn't screwed on?

    Well, at the Silencer Shoot we did a demo where we fired a 10 inch barrel at night in total darkness (no moonlight even) with no can. The rifle was 50+ yards away so it was safe to hear. Something like 150 people were there. No one said they heard a ping and no one saw any flash at all. At least I could not.

    I can hear a ping with the can on if I am wearing electronic muffs because they amplify low sounds and cut loud sounds. So when the gun fires, the muffs mute the gunshot, but then unmute -- and you can hear the tail-end of a ping. It is more of an observation than an issue. It is like driving in your car and being able to hear your automatic transmission shift. Yes you can, but so what? There is still a gun shot and action noise which dwarfs it.
