I didn’t want to start another thread. Maybe folks that have this flash hider can enlighten me.
what is the difference between a 249F vs a 249F-EU?
when I Google the 249F-EU, it list a NSN, which most military parts comes with a NSN. Does that mean the EU is military-specific and the non EU is for sold specifically for civilians?
I bought theBCM MID-750-C from Grant, and is curious if this 249F-EU will fit it.
Seller of the 249F-EU is asking if I have a 9/16-24 thread so not sure if this will fit my midlength since I can’t find that thread on his site nor the BCM website
I would guess the EU stands for European, I believe the 9/16 x 24 LH is what FN uses on the FAL and likely other weapons. To answer your question no it will not fit a BCM which has a standard 1/2 x 28 thread.
I bought one from Weapon Outfitters about 3 months ago, they were running a special where they offered them at DOD pricing, I think mine was like $85 plus shipping. For a while Weapon Outfitters was the only place selling them, I guess BE myers is selling them direct now. I have mine on a SBR and like it although I haven’t shot it at night yet.
I believe Weapon Outfitters is selling them as pinned to 13.5" uppers to make them non-NFA. So these things are LOOONG. (Just something to bear in mind.)
Yeah, Weapon Outfitters and putting these on 13.7" barrels. You can get a 13.7" Noveske, Parallax Tactical, or a Centurion barrel I believe. I chose the Noveske.
The M249F is long, but it doesn’t look ridiculous.
I put one on my HK 556 and shot it for the first time yesterday. There was no discernible pinging sound when shooting. I shot it during the day so flash wasn’t observable. The rifle shot very well with it attached.
By any chance, they had an email alert for this? I’d like to get one around that price too. I’m not sure I want to go thru Armlist, or the slightly-used route? Thanks
Our 249F-EU in a metric version of our 249F. The size is 9/16-24 LH. If you are running a BCM I’m not sure this would fit it. Most American made weapon’s are 1/2 -28. *********************************************************************
All of our flash hiders have an NSN number assigned. There is zero difference between civilian and Military versions. Actually, they are one in the same.
gents, i’ve dealt with Johnny when trying to source a few 249F’s for some of my high-speed buddies. he’s a stellar human being. we eventually just ordered two and hoped for the best - they made it through the .mil postal service just fine, we tried one on a 7.5 and another on a Mk18 - the 7.5 performed much like a 14.5 w/ an A2 and the Mk18 was near enough as to not make any difference totally dark. they are fantastic.
