Rearden R2 Fh 5/8-24 Nitride

The Rearden R2 flash hider in 5/8-24 thread pitch with nitride finish is a Plan B-compatible muzzle device built for shooters who demand precision and durability. Whether you're running a precision rifle, a suppressed setup, or a dedicated range gun, the R2 is engineered to handle serious use. The black nitride finish delivers both corrosion resistance and a tighter seal—critical factors when you're stacking multiple components on your muzzle.

Built from 17-4 stainless steel and finished to 67 HRC surface hardness, this flash hider is constructed to withstand the rigors of centerfire rifle shooting. The nitride process creates a harder surface that resists fouling and maintains consistent performance across hundreds of rounds. If you're timing this device for a specific application or running it with a suppressor, proper installation matters—alignment, torque, and rockset are the foundations of a reliable suppressed system.

The R2 integrates with Atlas and Atlas XL mounting systems, making it a natural choice if you're already invested in that ecosystem. It's also compatible with standard Plan B mounts. Note that shims are not included but may be necessary depending on your barrel's threading relief; many builders stock them as a matter of course. Installation requires an alignment rod to verify the entire system concentricity before final torque, and the device itself should be torqued to 30 ft-lbs and rockset to lock everything in place permanently.

This is a no-frills, purpose-built muzzle component for shooters who understand that flash reduction and suppressor mounting go hand in hand. It's not a standalone flash hider for unsuppressed fire—it's infrastructure for a complete system. If you're building or upgrading a precision rifle with suppressor plans in mind, the Rearden R2 is worth serious consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Rearden R2 work with my suppressor?

Yes—the R2 is designed for suppressor use. It features Plan B-type mounts compatible with quality cans. Before mounting a suppressor, ensure the muzzle device threads and tapers are clean, then torque the suppressor to 10 ft-lbs. Verify alignment with an alignment rod to confirm the entire system is concentric.

What thread pitch is this flash hider, and what calibers does it fit?

The R2 has a 5/8-24 thread pitch, which is the standard for most centerfire rifle calibers including .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and similar medium to large-bore rifles. Confirm your barrel's thread pitch before purchase.

Do I need shims, and what's involved in installation?

Shims are not included but may be required depending on whether your barrel has a thread relief. Many barrels don't, so it's worth checking with your gunsmith or barrel manufacturer. Installation requires an alignment rod to verify concentricity, torquing the device to 30 ft-lbs to the barrel, and rockset to lock it permanently in place.

What mounting systems is the R2 compatible with?

The Rearden R2 is compatible with Plan B-type mounts, Atlas, and Atlas XL mounting systems. If you're running a suppressor, ensure it shares compatible mounts for a seamless interface.
