Forward Controls Design Ar-15 Stoner 63 Lmg A2 Flash Hider 1/2-28

The Forward Controls Design Stoner 63 LMG A2 Flash Hider is a precision-engineered muzzle device built for AR-15s and M16-pattern rifles that demand better recoil control without sacrificing flash suppression. Machined from solid 4130 or 4140 bar stock and finished with black nitriding, this 1/2-28 threaded compensator combines the proven flash-suppression of a traditional A2 with geometry inspired by the legendary Stoner 63 light machine gun—delivering measurably improved performance where it matters most.

The engineering here is deliberate: its 3 and 9 o'clock ports are intentionally smaller than the upper ports, directing more gas upward to reduce muzzle rise by 15–20% compared to a standard A2. This means faster follow-up shots and better shot placement, especially on semi-automatic platforms or during sustained fire. The payoff is genuine—better rise control without the added noise, concussion, or flash blooming that plague louder compensators.

Built to work in the real world, it's compatible with M16 BFA systems and threads onto most A2-mounted suppressors if you decide to add one later. A crush washer is included. Compact, lightweight, and made in the USA, the Stoner 63 LMG works equally well for precision rifle work, competition, or field hunting where you want your shots to count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with a suppressor?

Yes. The Stoner 63 LMG is compatible with most A2-mounted sound suppressors, making it a flexible choice if you plan to run a can later.

Is this legal in California, Massachusetts, or New York?

Because it provides flash suppression equal to an A2, it meets the definition of a flash suppressor in those states and should be treated accordingly for legal compliance. Always verify your local laws before purchase.

How much better is this than a standard A2 flash hider?

It reduces muzzle rise 15–20% compared to an A2 while maintaining equivalent flash suppression. The smaller side ports direct more gas upward, improving shot control on follow-ups without increasing noise or concussion.
