What's your question? When I was in CA I used these.

I don't get it. Who would want a fake flash hider?

it would be used for a featureless build. i would figure with your user name u would get it.

[bohoki]

they are good if you have a midlength or full size and want to use a bayonet

Well that's stoopid. Why use a fake something that looks like the real something it's supposed to replace? S.T.O.O.P.I.D.

I just replaced my A2 flash hiders with a thread protector like this

Probably because those thread protectors you posted look stupid, and an AR-15 doesn't look right without an A2 flash hider, a device you may not legally be able to have depending on your configuration.

It's probably best to just accept different people have different taste and not every thread needs to get crapped on

Looks like a a gap between the threads and hole up front

i dont have this ?thread protector?. i picked up a muzzle break made to look like an A2 bird-cage. i have yet to install it. heres the link: https://www.classicfirearms.com/ar-a...sher-mil-spec/

edit: nevermind. they updated their info. it is a flash hider and not a muzzle brake.

Unless it is a registered AW, I think you need to pin it. Threaded barrels are a no-no in CA.

A no-no for pistols, not rifles.

Basically how is it? Is it really a thread protector or is there a gap between that hole and the muzzle?

This is true. Both the beginning and end of that post.

Plus I'm going for a A4 clone build.
