Reviews & Ratings for Radical Firearms A2 Flash Hider — 8 reviews — Page 1

I've gotten probably six or seven total of these. Two of them that came the threads were cut too shallow like their cutting teeth had been wore down. After trying to force it couldn't get it on without risking damage to my barrel threads. Surprised there isn't other reviews on here similar but that was recently so maybe there will be. And yes, I have done a lot of them and have a threader so it's not dumb user error. Three stars cause they are CHEAP and most of them have came just fine and exactly the same as some that are four times the cost.

Standard-ish A2 with a matte black finish. The grooves are a little bit more exaggerated than an Aero but that might help more with some compensation. No crush washer, simple packaging. You get what you pay for.

When something works, don't screw it up.

While there are definitely better flash hiders out there, there are a lot more that will perform as good or worse and cost a lot more. For a basic AR build where you just need something practical and affordable to put on the business end your weapon, you really can't beat an A2 bird-cage flash hider. And Radical Firearms is a well established business in the industry, so I have zero reservations ordering from them. Even though it's just a flash hider, it's reassuring to know that if something goes wrong, they have responsive CS that will taker care of you.

As far as performance, it's just as you'd expect. It does a good-enough job of diffusing flash, and a good-enough job of reducing muzzle climb. Doesn't do all that much for recoil, but doesn't hurt, either. All in all, it's a good unit. And at this price, I bought a spare to keep in my parts box just in case.

I recently purchased a radical firearms A2 Flash Hider from Optics Planet. Great product, easy installation, and met all my expectations. It redistributed the amount of fire at the end of the barrel very well.

this review may be a bit premature, as I am still discussing this issue with opticsplanet, but mine did not come with a crush waster. Perhaps it is a mistake, perhaps not. Nobody can say for sure at this point.

The flash hider seems well made and has a nice finish to it. It appears to be nitride rather than parked. So if you have a spare crush washer, this is a great hider. If you don't, you risk ordering all your parts, being short a washer, and looking at paying 2-3x the price of a washer just in shipping to order one.....

No issues with the crush washer and seems well built. Indexed fine and hasn't come loose at all on BA 300blk barrel. Personally prefer A2 over just using thread caps on most rifles since it doesn't had DB compared to a comp.
