Excuse my ignorance - flash suppressor

[RedNeck Jim]

Ranier is not the maker of the Evolution, Samson is. Ranier just sells it and this version only they can sell (maybe they designed it but who knows). Takes the same rail sections as the older Evolution rail made by Samson and sold by both of them.

Yep, I'm aware of that. If you want the attachments, you get them from Samson. I just prefer the Rainier version of the Evolution... especially the older version prior to going keymod. Attachment system is the same on all.

Is the stock flash suppressor on my 15-22 there for any purpose beyond decorative?

Other than protecting the muzzle crown, no. At least no "useful" purpose.

Wasn't that simple?

No useful purpose. Decorative only. I replaced mine with a slip-on barrel shroud, technically removing any flash suppressor altogether.



Not much more I can do to it. Swapping the handguard was definitely worth it.

Looks good. Real nice hand guard on there.
Wouldn't that be a screw on shroud since you have a threaded barrel?

A slip on barrel shroud would have to screw on. If not there would be no means to secure it to the barrel.

I don't think there is another kind of slip on for the 15-22.

The flash suppressor may not be useful but I sure do think it makes the 15-22 look cooler than without it and that's why I bought mine with one instead of without one. JMHO.

A slip on barrel shroud simply slips on the non-threaded (part of the ) barrel and is held in place with a set screw.
We make them for just about any size barrel made.

A screw on barrel shroud screws on the existing threads that would be used for a flash hider or whatever. We make them in any thread needed.

I agree I think the Ranier only version looks better. I banished my 15" Samson EVO handguard to my 6.8mm DMR rifle and its 20" barrel.
