flash hiders......controlled part?

[snayperskaya]

Are removeable flash hiders a controlled part under section 1?, in the same way as moderaters are.Talking about actual flash hiders not muzzle brakes.

[ovenpaa]

Nope, you can hold as many as you wish.

[meles meles]

let 'em cool down first though..

[farmer7]

One of mine has a proof mark stamped on it, dunno if that makes my particular one 'controlled'!

[Dangermouse]

I think Ovenpaa might be wrong there?

You are asking about flash hinders not muzzle breaks.

I don't have the time to check the wording at this time, I am sure several others will put me right, but I think the act mentions flash hinders in with moderators.

DM, as fas as I know they are not listed or controlled, same as a muzzle brake.

[techguy]

What ovenpaa says. They aren't listed or controlled parts.

[Dangermouse]

(c)any accessory to any such weapon designed or adapted to diminish the noise or flash caused by firing the weapon;

[Dangermouse]

Thats the wording I was thinking of.

The word "diminish" is the operative word here, muzzle brakes & flash hiders do not actually diminish the flash or the noise, they merely redirect it.

The flash hider sends the flash in an outward radial direction, giving the impression of hiding the flash. But in fact do not hide it at all.
