Not a .22 caliber
I bought one of these and will not buy any more because they are not .22 caliber regardless of what they claim. It is more like a 9mm.

Not a .22 caliber
While this part is fine and is functional on an AR-15 I'm giving this only one star because it is not a .22 caliber. It is more like for a 9mm or .308 . It is listed as .22 caliber but it is not .22 caliber. So of course it will work okay on an AR-15 but it is not for an AR-15.

Rusty black finish
The finish on these are still awful. The finish is a rusty/black. Love Brownells but they need to cut their loss on these and get a new supply.

BEWARE - THIS IS JUNK!
I've installed and removed dozens of A2 flash hiders most of which i got on ebay - never have i had one as cheaply made as this one - it broke with almost no torque applied - it's a cheap pot metal device and not real steel - wouldn't surprise me a bit if it was made in china by the DMD process - under no circumstances would i recommend this to anyone
