B.E. Meyers & Co. developed the 249F flash hider under DoD contract to solve a specific problem: night-vision signature. Traditional A2-style birdcages produce visible flash even through Gen 3 NODs, giving away shooter position in low-light engagements. The 249F uses a proprietary gas-dispersion geometry that reduces muzzle flash to near-zero under IR illumination — the same reason it has been adopted by Tier 1 SOF units and SAW gunners across the conventional force.
This is the genuine B.E. Meyers 249F in 5.56 NATO, machined from hardened steel with the correct mil-spec finish, threaded 1/2"-28 for any standard AR-15/M16/M4 muzzle. Drop-in replacement for an A2 birdcage with zero POI shift on most carbines. Whether you run NODs on a duty rifle, build night-fight-correct SOCOM clones, or simply want the best low-signature flash hider money can buy, this is the piece you want on your muzzle. Order yours today — 249F supply from B.E. Meyers is always intermittent and inventory moves fast.
