Reviews & Ratings for Wilson Combat A2 Birdcage Flash Hider — 7 reviews — Page 1

Your standard A2 flash hider that does, in fact, INCLUDE the crush washer. It's competitively priced. There are cheaper options out there but the Wilson Combat flash hider is one of the few that repeatedly and consistently are listed as being 100% compatible with Griffin's GATE-LOK system. This is a big deal if you have multiple weapons and want to keep the classic look. In a world of $100 suppressor mounts, the savings add up fast.

Besides, despite all the excitement over all the newfangled brakes and flash hiders, the A2 still has incredible flash suppression performance. And who needs a brake on 5.56, really? Competitors, sure, but I'll bet most of those competitors aren't running suppressed.

In short, if you have a GATE-LOK mounting system or plan to, this is guaranteed to fit and only costs a couple bucks more than even the cheapest A2 bird cages out there that may or may not fit.

If you use any Griffin Arma. QD locking devices, this muzzle device is the only A2 l found to provide the lockup necessary to confidently run my Griffin gear.

I wanted and upgraded A2 Birdcage for my custom AR. This Muzzle device does come with a crush washer. Wilson Combat usually has really good products. This A2 birdcage muzzle device is really nice and works well. But it is no different than any other flash hider. And there is no Wilson Combat logo. Just a nice plain, jane flash hider. Also, it only took 3.5 months to arrive (on back order that whole time).

Typical A2 Birdcage. Nice finish, threads easily and is exactly what I expected for being under $10. You do need a separate crush washer as it does not come with one. It is 1 3/4" long 7/8" diameter at the tip and weighs just under 59g.

Bought this for my griffin gen 2 blast shield . Read A review from the site I bought the blast shield that it would lock in place . Nope . Other than that it’s a birdcage can’t go wrong with one . Unfortunately it’s siting in the parts bin now . Went to my lgs and he just started grabbing ar’s and it fit on a dd birdcage ask if I could buy it off him. Ended up giving it to me .
