Is a flash hider a licensable item?

Both my AR15’s came with standard flash hiders which I removed from them both.

Can I not give these to people?
Found a company selling AR15 flash hiders for £26 + proofing, then saw this.

Please note: flash hiders can only be sent to your local Registered Firearms Dealer for a face to face transaction with the appropriate paperwork.

I did not know that.....
"proofing" ? FFS ! :o

Why doesn't a well educated seasoned shooter sit down with the numpties that make up this tosh and steer them to write clear, concise, foolproof legislation? :D
Ebay has loads of flash hiders teanews

I did look on eBay. All the flashiders on eBay uk were for air soft.
There were some brakes that looked suspiciously like flashiders though.
Have a brake anyway that came with the rifle.
Will probably go for a licensed moderator.

I've noticed a lot of AR stuff is sold on Ebay as air soft but is the same stuff, dimension wise anyway as a firearm.
Ive bought nut shims, hand guards and barrel nuts for air soft AR's which fit my CMMG
Maybe its an Ebay policy not to sell "proper" AR stuff but OK to sell air soft AR gear. :)

As far as I am aware flash hiders are controlled in as much as you will need authority to possess, ie an FAC with a suitable rifle/slot. It doesn't need a specific individual slot for possession.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.

This came up a couple of years ago and I ended up asking the Home Office for clarification.

The outcome can be found here:

Flash hiders are subjected to legislation because the law says they are. It’s been like that for some 50 years.

That’s why my rifles that have them are fitted with and bought as muzzle brakes....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
