M4 Flash Hider / Muzzle Brake (Kiểu M4QD)

A replica of M4 muzzle brake (M4QD-type), designated for use with KAC QD suppressor replicas, but can also be used alone.

The muzzle brake should be screwed onto the replica (CCW thread) so the windows are facing upwards. Use the enclosed "M4 Flash Hider Timing Washers.3mf" to print a set of washers of thicknesses between 0.2mm and 0.9mm (in steps of 0.1mm) to adjust the timing.

You can optionally use a headless M3 headless Allen screw to fix the flash hider in place. Do not overtighten!

Fitting Issues Troubleshooting

On a perfectly tuned printer with a quality 1.75mm filament it should nicely snugly fit the threads on the barrel. In case you find it too difficult to screw on, try to decrease filament flow rate by a few percent.
