The best flash hider for your AR 15 will depend on factors such as the type of shooting you plan to do and your personal preferences. However, here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a flash hider for your AR 15:
Some common types of flash hiders include the A2 style, cross-hole, prong/forked, birdcage, and Linear Compensator (LC). Each has its pros and cons, so it’s important to choose the one that will work best for your needs.
The A2-style flash hider is the standard choice for most AR 15s. It is simple, effective, and easy to install. However, it is not as effective at reducing flash signature as some of the other options.
The cross-hole flash hider is similar to the A2, but with additional slots cut into the body. This helps to reduce flash signature even further. However, it also makes the flash hider more prone to fouling and difficult to clean.
