I would have gave a 5 star but the crush washer was not sent with the moderator like advertised.

I was always smitten by the muzzle device on Vietnam era CAR-15s, and now I can replicate the look thanks to retro rifles.

I’m very pleased with the flash moderator. Mail service and communication could improve but the product is top notch. Posted by William Bullen on 27th Feb 2021

#COMMANDOS 1 INSTALL#
Recommend using a lock washer.įor install some of these will not have wrench flats (particularity the hybrid). Good for applications where you would like the style, but want less size & weight up front.ġ1.5 inch barrel versions (XM177E2 / GAU-5) use a Grenade Ring in conjunction with the Moderator (Here)įor the washer (Here). This is the smallest/lightest Moderator style muzzle device available. Though not historically correct, we also offer a special 3.5 inch with Flash Slots. Colt stopped making Moderators in the Mid-1970's due to ATF ruling it a Sound "Suppressor".Ĥ. About 1966 the final version, 4.3 inch, was being issued on XM177's and then in early 1967 this model continued to be used on the XM177E2 (now also with the Grenade Ring). The first lengthened muzzle device tried was the 3.5" long Moderator and had no flash slots.ģ. Neither were satisfactory in taming the blast/sound to their liking.Ģ. They first tried the flash hider (FH) they had - the "Duck Bill" 3 prong, and then later the second generation of this 3 Prong when available. In the early 1960's Colt started testing a small 10" submachine gun version of the CAR-15 family. *All exception the Aluminum moderator are steel and made in the USA.ġ.

used on the Survival Rifle and first model CAR-15 shorty (colt model 607) The first three choices are authentic to the originals, and the last one is a hybrid smaller size version. We offer 5 different versions of the CAR-15 "Moderator" muzzle device.
