osprey21 5 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have a 8" gun I bought in March of 2006 - it has the old style 'slotted' flash hider - does it unscrew? Thought I'd ask before I tried. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 It's hard to say in 2006. That is right about the time we tooled up to thread the barrels. Chances are though, it's bonded in place with Loctite # 620 bearing mount. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mtelow 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi Tony, I'm in the process of purchsing this S17 and the flash hider is bulged out from shooting heavy loads. Chris mentioned you went with another design to stop this from happening. Would you be able to fix this gun and install a new flash hider? Maybe Chris could send it in while we wait for the transfer. Thanks. Mike It's hard to say in 2006. That is right about the time we tooled up to thread the barrels. Chances are though, it's bonded in place with Loctite # 620 bearing mount.
