Vltor vs. YHM flash hider comparison?

[C4IGrant]

Yes, it is more accurate than the asymetric A2 flash hider. Anything placed at the muzzle end of the barrel will degrade accuracy to some extent. I have not seen anything that suggests that the Vortex improves accuracy.

The Army did not publish the report so that is most likely you have never seen it.

i want someone to make a quality 17-4 steel FS

The KAC QD and KAC QDBrake (whatever the part number is for the inconel brake/sacrifical baffle) like the Votex also are somewhat helpful for accuracy.
Not only the issue of concetric contruction - but the pressure used to mount the muzzle device - and how the barrel was threaded will play a part.
Keep in mind the A2/A1 flash hiders are pretty loosely made.

Concentric, I hope so! Tension is the enemy of accuracy. A2/A1's do not equally vent/distribute gases exiting the barrel and thus negatively influence bullet flight.

It was on a 10.5.

I have one left in stock. Sold a truck load of the things.

YHM does make a MB, but I don't know how good it is.

I also really like the SF MB556K as well. If you find the VC-1 pricey, don't look at the SF.

Check your PM's.

This VLTOR Model 1 FH must be very popular, its out of stock.

[Sry0fcr]

If the VLTOR has FS capabilities on par with the A2 I'll pick one up.

I would say that it does.

Let us know when you get some in stock, aye?

I switched from the standard A2 birdcage type FS/MB to the VLTOR FS, and I noticed a significant increase in muzzle rise. I haven't shot at night yet, so I can't comment on the FS capabilities, however the increase in muzzle rise was enough that I am now in the market for another product. I was looking at this FSC556:
