Flash Hider for a FAL

[Patriotic Sheepdog]

In researching FH for my 18" FAL I find several options ranging in price from $40-$150. I made the threading 5/8x24 so I would have more options. Does anyone have any thoughts/recommendations? I found this article (although it is testing on AR-15) www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/06/jeremy-s/ar-15-flash-hider-shootout/ and it lists some with pics.

I was very happy with my Yankee Hill Phantom that I had on mine. yhm.net/phantom-7-62-comp-flash-hider-1090.html

There's a couple of things to look at. Keep in mind its a 762 gun so any 556 testing may or may not be relevant. Barrel length will have an impact as well. That being said, We run AAC three-prong flash hiders on all our 762 guns with good results. www.advanced-armament.com/BLACKOUT-Non-Mount-Flash-Hider-762mm_p_450.html

Huge fan of Smith Vortex FHs.

Sorry I'm not helping form a consensus here.

. Actually you are. Because the three flash hiders mentioned ( Vortex, AAC, and Phantom) are all excellent choices. You couldn't go wrong with any of them.

well, thanks for the replies...I had already put in an order for the YHM Phantom.

Watch this video, I was the one who was firing, and it was out of my 16 inch M1A Socom. He put the wrong type of ammo though, it was 1970's West German Ball.
