Stainless Flash Hider

[BayouBob]

Does anyone know of a source for stainless flash hiders with a 5/8 x 24 thread?

Try ArmaLite...

Doesn't battlearms offer the BABC in stainless anymore? I've got one on one of my .308 AR's.

Thanks mrraley, I was about to decided my old brain was sliding away but I knew I had seen one somewhere.

Thanks for the tip.  I think this looks better than the black flash hider on the stainless barrel.

Thanks Wash.  I tried the JP Cooley comp.  It worked wonderfully and looked wicked.  I think I could have put an egg between my shoulder and the rifle and not broken it.  (The blast pressure was kind of awesome.)  Apparently though it affected the harmonics of the barrel because my groups opened up from around an inch to 3 inches.  I was accused on the smart ass board of flinching but I don't think that was the issue.

Battlecomp makes a stainless BABC... I have two of them on my rifles.

Thanks Robo, I was just playing around with the Cooley comp.  I like to try a little of everything on my rifles.  I end up spending as much as the rifle costs on various accessories most of the time.  Since the 308 has very little recoil anyway and after grinding a Sims recoil pad to extend the length of pull on the A2 stock I am happy with just a flash hider.  If I wasn't planning on shooting at some hogs at night I wouldn't even use that; I'd just put a thread protector on it.
