The Bushmaster A2 Flash Hider (part no. F1000781) is the classic birdcage-style muzzle device found on 5.56 M16, M4, and AR-15 rifles, threaded 1/2×28 to fit standard-diameter barrels. Bushmaster makes it in America to the same profile as the original mil-spec A2 hider, redirecting muzzle flash and gas away from the shooter’s line of sight without adding recoil-reducing ports. It’s the correct, no-surprises replacement for a damaged, buggered, or missing factory flash hider.
