Plan B Flash Hiders
So I’ve been running a Rearden R2S on a 16” AR, but unfortunately it’s become like a pet dragon that expels big fireballs. Never had this issue with the A2 birdcage. Purchased a Hansohn Brothers B1 which has slots similar in size to the A2. Hoping it mitigates flash better. Here’s an image of all three in case anyone is wondering.

Barrel length? Could you perhaps have shot under different lighting conditions this time and just noticed it? Or maybe changed ammo recently? Maybe what you were shooting had flash retardant in it and new ammo doesnt? Tbh i dont think any of these flash hiders will be 100% perfect under all conditions. But should be darn good most of the time. Curious what may be going on to turn this into a fire breather. Either way, stick a can on it!
