The Radical Firearms A2 Flash Hider brings the classic closed-bottom birdcage pattern to 5.56 AR-15 rifles, giving builders a proven, military-standard muzzle device at an affordable price.
Features:
- Classic A2 birdcage pattern with closed-bottom venting slots
- Chambered for 5.56/.223, threaded 1/2x28
- Reduces visible muzzle flash for the shooter without eliminating it entirely
- Steel construction for durability under repeated firing
- Direct-thread installation onto any 1/2x28 threaded barrel
- A shape that has remained the U.S. military standard for decades
The A2 pattern's closed-bottom design redirects muzzle flash and blast away from the ground in front of the shooter, a useful feature for low-light shooting where a visible flash could give away a position.
The A2 birdcage is the pattern found on the M16A2 and M4 carbine, so it keeps a military-style rifle looking and handling the way many shooters expect. It is a flash hider rather than a recoil-reducing brake, so it will not change recoil the way a brake or compensator does.
Fitment is straightforward: confirm your barrel's thread pitch before ordering, and time the device with a crush washer or shims so the closed portion sits at the bottom, where the A2 pattern is designed to keep blast off the ground.
Radical Firearms manufactures AR-platform rifles, parts, and accessories, giving builders affordable options for completing a new build or replacing a worn muzzle device.

Perfect

Fast shipping. Exactly what I thought it would be. Nice clean finish and it hand threaded right on. Highly recommend. Awesome price.
Just bad

Out of Spec, not worth your time.
Great price.
by Garrett -
Excellent A2 hider. Especially for the price. No issues with the nitride or any issues with the threads. Hand spun right on the barrel.
Great product

It works well and I love the redesigned cuts. Bought it after seeing MrGunsnGear's review.
Would not buy again

Threads are cut wrong . Cheap but not worth it wont be tricked again .
Out of spec
by Sam -
Did not fit as threads were out of spec. Bought the J-Comp V2 and installed with no problems. Good paperweight though but not a good flash hider.
Great product.....amazing sale price.

Typical A2 but with a nice, smooth, dark finish. Crush washer is also included. Awesome deal is an understatement.
THICK!
by Will
The nitride finish was so thick on the threads that it would not hand turn from the start. I had to use a wrench and tighten and loosen it to clean the threads out. After that it was fine. The finish is definitely thick and good. Not a scratch on it.
Poorest quality and finish I've seen!
by Randy
I have used flash hiders from several other manufacturers, even generic ones from random places. These are the lowest quality flash hiders I have come across. The "QPQ" coating is like a thick spray paint that flakes off easily when threaded. The threads are also rough and gritty from whatever these are coated with. The crush washer is the thinnest of any I have seen. I recommend replacing it should you purchase this product. This flash hider will not match any of your anodized or QPQ coated parts as the finish is darker and glossy.

You cannot tell this from any other "high" quality overpriced flash hider out there.Threads were beautiful,finish was just as expected!
Form,fit & function A+ !
Radical Firearms puts out some good stuff & this will reside on the end of my HD pistol.
And once again Primary Arms fills the bill on great products at killer prices.
