Are flash hiders legal on bolt actions? If so what would you recomend.If its legal I would think that a flash hider would act as a break and reduce muzzle flash on a short barrel to aid in shooting.What are your thoughts or opinion on this?

They are legal.
Flash hiders don't act like brakes.
Flash suppressors don't act like brakes either.

i didn't know there was a difference between a flash hider and a flash suppressor, always thought they were two words for the same thing. that being said, yes flash hiders/flash suppressors are totally legal on bolt rifles, and they will not act as muzzle brakes, their inside diameter is much too large as they are engineered for a completely different taskComment

Now, some brakes will actually work as a flash hider
Best of both worlds!Please read the Calguns Wiki
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

Surefire is supposed to have a break that works as a suppressor, and an attatchment point for a sound suppressor.
From what I've heard there are better breaks out there.I move slow but I make up for it by shooting poorly.

We produce a few models of brake/suppressor hybrids. We have them for .22, 6.8mm, and .30 bores.
Here is our KA-1230 brake/suppressor installed on a customer's 30.06 Savage
And here is our KA-1222 brake/suppressor for the .22 and 6.8mm rifles
