Hi everyone,


Is it true that's impossible to remove the flash hider on a scar without cut it?
I would like to replace it by a aac blackout but a belgian friend tells me if I would change, I must cut it because it is irremovable.


Thanks for your help

Mine was very easy to remove. One wrench on the jamb nut, the other on the brake. Turn left on the brake, push right on the nut.

 

[OldRanger]

Easily removed. Maybe in Belgium they have to weld them.

I wish all of my rifles had their muzzle devices installed with a jamb nut like on the SCAR 17S. So much easier than crush washers, timing washers, thread locker, etc.

These are a real breeze to time with.

So, for everyone that took the original brake off, what are you running now? Did you leave the nut on or did you all take it off?

I replaced it with a Smith Vortex FH. No jamb nut.

I got my stamps for both the 16 and 17 SBRs a couple weeks ago, and once I finally save up for the barrels I'll probably stick with the FN flash hider until I finally decide what suppressors to get. Of course, I'll have to save for those also...so maybe by 2016 I'll have it like I want it. Maybe.

AAC Blackout MITER, don't need to be timed so no nut needed.

The jamb nut is off on mine im running a bcm comp/hider. waaaaay better than that pws abortion. Yes, i do hate the pws brake that much

Why the PWS hate? It's loud but works.

Yes, for a small device it works very well as to reduce recoil, but the noise and the obscene blasting your neighbors take doesn't make it a favorite of a lot of people.

 

[Fnpurist]

The pws sucks. I shot my scar a couple of times with out hearing protection ( long story) and I thought my ears were going to bleed for awhile, can only imagine what standing beside it would do

 

[SONYtec]

Yup, easy to do with two wrenches.

Shoot it under a roof or in the woods or in a blind. I cant stand the back blast its just abusive. Its horrible for followup shots especially if your in a group Because you concuss your self and your buddies with each shot.

There are much better brakes if your recoil sensitive. I put the bcm comp on mine because it does a great job.

Yes it brakes a shot but the side effects arent worth the effect.

Anybody throw a Lantac Dragon on their 17? Or an surefire sfmb-762? I was thinking about getting the KAC MAMS for it but that thing is a little too much for me as far as muzzle devices go.

On a 13" barrel, the flash hider installed is it a AAC blackout?

 

[ThreePrecenter]

Blast didn't bother me.

I don't think so, that flash hider looks a bit different. The "mouth" on the 13" barrel's flash hider looks a bit more open.
