Flash Cans

@Willjr75 so whats your take on the volquartsen barrel then if ported ??

Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable porting a barrel under FUAC.

As for the Volquartsen barrel, it's simply a very heavy profile at the muzzle. Great for competition shooting, but not much else.

I don't know the design. Is it a barrel with a sleeve on it? Thats what it looks like to me. If it is, in my opinion it would not be the same as a barrel that had holes drilled into it.

@Willjr75 the volquartsen barrel is all one piece of meta machined into that shape ..

Quarter Circle 10 has one, too

What is a Flash Can, and what does it do?

A Flash Can is a thread-on muzzle device, designed to force all muzzle blast and flash forward, downrange of the shooter. This differentiates it from a flash hider, compensator, or brake, which use a pattern of holes to redirect blast any number of directions around or behind the muzzle.

A Flash Can is especially useful on a firing line, or at night, as in a home defense situation, because the blast and flash are directed away from the shooter and anyone next to them. They don't aid in recoil control or reduce noise, but the shooter may experience less perceived noise as the blast is forced forward.

I would much rather have something like that than the compensator, or whatever they call it now, which amplifies the sound back at the shooter. Recoil on an AR is so minimal anyway.
