Rearden R2S Fh 5/8-24 Nitride

The Rearden R2S Flash Hider with 5/8-24 threading and nitride finish is a Plan B-compatible muzzle device built for shooters who demand precision and durability. This flash hider pairs with Plan B type suppressors and muzzle brake systems, making it a solid choice for AR platform rifles, precision builds, and suppressor-ready setups where a clean, repeatable interface matters. The black nitride finish delivers both a professional look and practical corrosion resistance, while the 17-4 PH stainless steel construction ensures the durability needed for everything from range days to field use.

Installation and alignment are critical with any muzzle device, especially one that'll host a suppressor. The nitride finish creates a tighter seal than untreated steel, which is good news for performance but means proper torque and timing are non-negotiable. You'll want to use an alignment rod during setup, torque the device to 15–25 ft-lbs against the barrel shoulder, and Rockset it for security. If you're threading a suppressor on top, clean the threads and tapers, then torque to 10 ft-lbs and verify alignment once more.

One thing to know: shims aren't included, and your barrel may need one if the manufacturer didn't machine a thread relief. This is especially worth checking if you're doing a custom build or swapping barrels. The R2S is Atlas and Atlas XL compatible as well, so if your setup uses those platforms, this device will nest in cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Rearden R2S compatible with suppressors?

Yes. The R2S is designed to work with Plan B type suppressors. When mounting a can, ensure threads and tapers are clean, torque to 10 ft-lbs, and verify alignment. Note that using it on a Q suppressor voids the manufacturer's warranty.

Do I need shims for this muzzle device?

Shims are not included. Your barrel may need one if the manufacturer didn't cut a thread relief into the muzzle. It's worth checking your barrel specs or contacting the barrel maker before installation.

What torque specs should I use during installation?

Torque the muzzle device to the barrel at 15–25 ft-lbs, and Rockset it for permanent security. If you'll be threading a suppressor onto the R2S, use an alignment rod to verify concentricity, then torque the suppressor to 10 ft-lbs and check alignment again.

What platforms is this compatible with?

The R2S works with Plan B type mounts and is compatible with Atlas and Atlas XL platforms. It features standard 5/8-24 threading common to many AR-pattern rifles and bolt-action builds.
