I picked up one of the CMMG .22 conversion kits and pulled the flash hider off my AR to run the .22 with the rimfire can. Tons of fun.
I stuck the flash hider back on when going back to 223/556, but didn't torque it down or index it because I knew it would be coming off again. At 100+ yards the zero was really screwy, and in fact followed the 'wrong' way the hider was indexed. I didn't think it would make that much of a difference, but it apparently does.
So, just leaving the flash hider off all the time and running a thread protector.... what am I really going to give up in that config?
