    I always wanted to see an update of the XM177 flash suppressor but ATF considers it a NFA design. I know the original didn't accomplish much compared to modern micro suppressors, but I bet you could bring it up to date with impressive results without going to an actual closed can suppressor.

    Was trying to find some info on this. Did it have baffles? Why was it ruled a silencer?

    Is it not this one below? Maybe Vuurwapenblog?

    Here are the TTAG tests mentioned earlier.

    It had something. Given that the original purpose was to tame the muzzle blast to something about like an M-16 it had some kind of moderating feature. But wasn't sophisticated enough to justify commercial development up against fully developed suppressor systems. Seems like it did have baffles and it's covered in the book The Black Rifle.

    Wouldn't swear to it but last I heard it was in batches that sell out fast. It would suck if not. I liked it enough to buy a second to pin on a new BCM 14.5" ELW. I would think the best way to score one is to sign up for a few email notifications and be ready to jump on it. Be patient because instant gratification gets no play here.

    I got my first one from Atlantic Tactical but AT3 Tactical was the last place I got one.
