HUXWRX Flash Hider 556 QD 1/2-28

Actually, one of the better flash hiders for the price, whether you use their suppressor or not!

Designed for rifles chambered in 5.56, the HUXWRX Flash Hider 556 QD 1/2-28 is a muzzle device that serves the practical purpose of reducing muzzle flash and simplifying mounting of HUXWRX suppressors. This product is from the HUXWRX lineup, a brand that was formerly known as OSS.  The 556 QD is at home acting as very effective flash hider, or as a mount for the HUXWRX/OSS line of suppressors.  What is suprising is the level of sofistication at such a modest price.

The device is specifically engineered to accommodate a range of HUXWRX suppressors, targeting compatibility with models such as the HX-QD 556k, 556, 762, 762 Ti, and Magnum Ti. User reviews, cite the flash hider's effective performance and easy installation.

Highlights:

• Muzzle Brake - Flash hider: Reduces muzzle flash effectively, enhancing visibility during firing sequences.
• 5.56/.223 Compatible:  Utilizes a widely adopted 1/2-28 thread pattern for broad compatibility.
• HUXWRX/OSS Suppressor Host:  The 556 QD will act as a host for both the 5.56mm and 7.62mm line of suppressors from HUXWRX or previous products from OSS.

The HUXWRX Flash Hider's construction with 17-4 stainless steel confers strength and resistance to the elements, while its QPQ black nitride finish contributes to its prolonged service life and reduced wear. The easy-to-operate quick-detach (QD) system is a defining feature, enabling users to swiftly switch between configurations with minimal fuss and without the need for additional tools.

The flash hider has a pin hole, and can be pinned and welded to a 14-1/2" barrel to extend it to a 16" legal limit.

In operational contexts, the flash hider aims to deliver consistent performance. Feedback from customers indicates an appreciation for the device's ability to handle various firing conditions without manifesting common issues like ping or carbon lock, particularly on overgassed platforms.
