Forward Controls Design Stoner 63 LMG Style 5/8x24 Flash Suppressor

Forward Controls Design are big fans of the A2 flash suppressor / compensator (compensator is the Army TM 9-1005-319-23&P, Air Force TO 11W3-5-5-42, Navy SW370-BU-MMI-010 designation). It is inexpensive, and does a decent job of what's asked of it. They went through a phase of expensive and fancy brakes and comps, all of them have worked well but we know they're not practical for defense/duty ARs. The flash, noise and concussion they produce are the result and byproduct of reducing the felt recoil (brakes) and keeping the muzzle down (comps). Threaded for 5/8x24, precision machined from solid 4140 steel bar stock and black nitrided, it is probably the finest A2 style comp/flash suppressor ever produced. Its 3 and 9 o'clock ports are 25% smaller (shorter and narrower) than the other three upward facing ports so more gas is vented through the upward facing ports, it is a superior compensator to the A2, its flash suppression is superior to that of a longer factory A2 style flash suppresso
