Colt A2 flash hider for M16, M4, AR15, 1/2-28 - 5.56, new take-off

The genuine Colt A2 "birdcage" flash hider — a factory take-off from a new Colt M4/M16 rifle, 1/2-28 thread, five slots timed off the bottom.

• Genuine Colt factory production — not an aftermarket look-alike
• A2 birdcage profile with five top/side slots and a closed bottom to reduce dust signature in the prone
• 1/2-28 thread, .223/5.56 — fits standard AR-15, M4, and M16 barrels
• Hardened steel, phosphate-black — carbine-grade finish, not a gloss collector's piece
• New take-off, not used — test-fired only before Charlie's pulled it from the barrel

Colt receives carbine barrels with the A2 flash hider already installed at the factory. When Charlie's buys those barrels for builds that ship without the flash hider, the hiders come off intact — brand-new Colt parts that have seen nothing but Colt's factory proof firing. They are the correct device for a clone-correct M4, M4A1, or A2-era 5.56 rifle and work equally well on civilian 16" AR-15 builds where the builder wants a factory-timed A2 bird rather than a third-party copy.

A crush washer is required and is not included. Colt builds parts for military end-use, so expect honest machining marks and a utilitarian finish — this is a combat device, not a show piece. Order yours today and we'll square you away.
