Looks great.
Looks overly built (size wise) compared to the current one.
If it is then I’m glad it is overly built. IIRC these are designed to withstand at least one round of live ammo before venting and starting to fail. I believe these were an item submitted with the big suppressor contracts that got split between Surefire and AAC a couple of years ago. You can see what happens to an AAC Blank Firing Adaptor when it took four rounds here: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2011/04/05/fun-with-a-blank-firing-adapter/
It’s also meant to simulate the size of a suppressor.
Do they only function on the 14.5″?
The SF-556-BFA-M4 was built to simulate the size and weight of the SOCOM556-RC suppressor. Blue color designates M4 and yellow is for the MK18. Once installed like a suppressor, the spud is tightened to the muzzle using a blank cartridge as a tool through the slot in the body. It’s heavy duty.
Would be nice enough to see a smaller BFA when one doesn’t need to simulate running a suppressor.
you mean like a normal BFA?
Will a normal BFA work with the surefire flash suppressor?
No
That’s what I was thinking, so no Lasse, not the normal bfa
Excellent. Are you all going to do a piece on the simunition adaptor (SF-TRAINER-556)?
When not tightened properly they make one heck of a projectile. Sounds fun until you’re the opfor on the receiving end of it!
You guys at soldier systems really need to put a bit more information in your showing of products. For instance, what does this blank fire adapter do, what is it for, what is its purpose. Showing a picture of somthing and just simply telling what it is does nothing to separate yall from google images.
If you don’t know what a BFA is, this probably isn’t the website for you. We expect a certain level of expertise from our readership.
Y are you even here (on this website)? Go read a book or enlist.
You mean go read a book or commission.
I’m glad he’s here, but this isn’t entry level material. Too many acronyms and jargon.
The BFA is a tool of the devil that has ruined moto boot photos for years.
