1. Will the Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider work on guns other than my Ruger® 10/22®?

   The Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider is specifically designed for Ruger® 10/22® taper barrels. While it will be able to be screwed onto any 22LR firearm that has the barrel correctly threaded 1/2x28 TPI, It would be unlikely that it would correctly match the diameter of the barrel on other firearms unless that barrel was also approximately .600 diameter.

2. Will the Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider work on Bull Barrel (.920) 10/22 rifles?

   The Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider will screw onto correctly threaded .920 bull barrels, but the diameter of the .920 bull barrel will be considerably larger than the approximately .600 diameter of the taper barrel for which the M22/50 Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider is designed to be used with.

3. Will the Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider work with other calibers such as .17 or .22 magnum?

   The Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider works with all standard Ruger® 10/22® calibers, in both .22 and .17.

4. Does the Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider work as a sound suppressor? Will it make my shooting any quieter?

   The Pike Arms® M22/50& trade; Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider does not decrease the sound when the rifle is discharged. A reduction in sound can only be legally accomplished by the use of a sound suppressor which is regulated by ATF. However, since the high pressure gasses are vented to the atmosphere in multiple directions at different intervals, the perceived sound when firing may be less since the noise is now directed in different directions rather than simply straight ahead, which would be the case when firing without the M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider installed.

5. Will the Pike Arms® M22/50 Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider change my rifle's accuracy?

   It will not. The bullet does not even know the Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider is installed as it flies through it without any contact.

6. Will I be able to "feel" the additional weight on my barrel?

   You will not be able to tell the difference. The Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider is so light that it is not perceptible.

7. What finishes are currently available?

   The Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider is available in three finishes to best match and compliment your rifle's finish and accessories. The available finishes are Matte Black, "Stainless" Clear polished aluminum and Matte Clear Aluminum.

8. Is there any functional difference between the different finishes?

   The Pike Arms® M22/50™ Threaded Muzzle Brake / Flash Hider will function identically regardless of the finish you select.
