I have one of these flash hiders on my rifle. I noticed as soon as I installed it on my rifle that there is a resounding ping like a tuning fork when there are vibrations in the rifle (closing the bolt, locking the charging handle, thumping the flash hider). I was wondering how many of you use this flash hider and if it does the same on your rigs.

Functionally it works as it's supposed, and no flash is a great thing to me (as my eyes don't handle contrast very well, muzzle flash is particularly blinding to me).

Ok, good. I've seen some of the older ones that had opened up from heat. Interesting that the case hardening would cause it to be resonant.
