ARRH86 0 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hey all. I am going to build an AR-15 rifle fairly soon. Also, I have access to a machine shop and am wondering about practicality and legality of building your own flash hider or muzzle break. Keep in mind I sort of want to do it for fun. As far as I know it is legal. What do you think, and do you have any tips? What size are the threads for ar-15 rifles, and what material should I use? Thanks for ANY and all info.

J A 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 The standard size threads for AR-15/M-16 rifles is 1/2-28. That is 1/2" diameter with 28 threads per inch. All the muzzle devices I have seen are made out of steel. This is the most effective design out there. http://www.smithenterprise.com/0100_Vortex_Page.htm Check this out. http://members.tripod.com/~Rbertalotto/muzzle/muzzle.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
