Extended vs. Standard A2 Flash Hider
The standard A2 flash hider is shorter and works well for rifles with 16”+ barrels, but it falls short for legal compliance on 14.5” builds. The extended A2 provides that extra bit of length without changing the traditional look or performance. This makes it the ideal choice for builders who want an authentic military-style rifle that also meets regulations.
