Have the day off work today, so I made yet another flash hider last night.
I think I finally got the taper of the cone correct, though it may be a hair short.
My knurling lines look to be spaced too far apart this time, but I'm really liking the technique I'm using to apply them. Whether they drew them on or not, it's really looking the part to me.
The overall diameter of the flash hider may be a touch too big, still. Sometimes I compare it to the reference and it looks right, other times it doesn't. I think so many of the replica flash hiders I've had over the years looked so undersized and anemic, that I could be overcompensating subconsciously, thereby making all mine too big! Heh, that was a kinda dirty sentence. [emoji12]
All that aside, it sure is fun making them!
Edit: Just compared with the photos again. It looks like my knurled section may be a hair too long, as well. I might chuck it back up on the lathe and shorten that a little bit.
