Some are relatively cheap like the GI birdcage flash hider and some are in the $150 ( or more) range.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"http:\/\/kitup.military.com\/2011\/04\/another-option-for-flash-suppression.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KitUp blog noted <\/a>&#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>The interesting thing is the geometry isn\u2019t much different from one manufacturer to the other \u2014 with the open prong design dominating the look. But one thing is radically different about the Ranier Arms product: it\u2019s price.<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Checking the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rainierarms.com\/?page=shop\/detail&amp;product_id=2310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rainier Arms website<\/a>, the XD Flash Hider retails for $47.45. It is available in either a black parkerized finish or a matte stainless steel finish.<\/p>\n<p>I have not tried it out in the field but from the video below it seems to work just fine. Depending on where you shop, the Smith Vortex is similarly priced.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZursaJZRxTk\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a lot of flash hiders available for the AR-15 platform now that the AWB sunset in 2004.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4380],"class_list":["post-4564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-flash-hider"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4564"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4564\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6502,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4564\/revisions\/6502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
