rifle, ruger, .22lr, flash-hiderI see that a flash suppressor can be purchased for the Ruger 10/22. While it looks pretty gnarley, what exactly is the utility of a flash suppressor on such a small caliber? Does the .22 long have that much flash to start with?
On a rifle in .22 LR, it’s purpose is probably exactly what you said: looking pretty gnarly.
Shooting my 10/22 with a naked barrel crown in the dark of night, the flash is minimal to non-existant, and certainly less than my AR with a flash hider or any of my pistols in 9mm or .45 ACP.
