MP 15-22 Flash Hider Question

[zreed042]

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forums,bear with me if I'm doing something terribly foolish.

I'm going to drive a hour to the local gun store (middle of nowhere Wyoming) to pick up an MP 15-22. Before I do so, I wanted to ask some questions about the flash hider that comes on the, I believe, tactical model.

The flash hider looks very similar to the standard birdcage flash hider that comes on most AR15s, my question is if the MP 15-22 flash hider will accept a quick detach suppressor designed for the standard birdcage.

If so, that's great, but if not, how hard would it be to mount a standard flash hider on the gun so I could throw a QD suppressor on?

Not sure if the standard flash hider will accept the QD suppressor. It was my understanding that the QD suppressors always require a special flash hider that they can screw into. The one on the 15-22 is just a standard A2 birdcage.

Replacing the flash suppressor is just like a standard AR. Any flash suppressor that is a 1/2-28 thread will fit on.

Awesome, the suppressor will fit then.

Well, here's the deal. I don't have the funds (nor am I old enough) to buy a real KAC NT4 for a MP15-22. I found a replica that will suit my purpose, but I didn't know if the MP15-22 flash hider was a standard A2.

That is pretty cool. Do you have a link for the replica suppressor? I know that all of the fake can makers keep one end open on their fake suppressors, because I guess even a completely closed off fake suppressor would need a tax stamp.

It's actually an all aluminum airsoft suppressor. I'm going to spray paint the tip black and remove that stupid orange tip. The suppressor is in the mail as we speak, I'll post an update if it fits when it arrives.
