TW5 flash hider

[crazybob79]

Hi,
I have a Systema TW5A4 and I really hate the orange flashider that seems to be stuck on the gun. Is there any way I can remove it and replace it with something else?

^I'm guessing that painting it black isn't an option?

I havn't seen seprate flashider for the TW5 in the various shops around the web, so the only solution I can think about is contacting Tac here on the forum, he might have one lying around.

If you are Stateside (USA) theres a place called Empire Airsoft, they are the only spot I've found direct replacements for the TW5 Lug. They have a standard metal version and a threaded version with -14mm threads.

Another option (what I did) is to get a MP5K adapter and drill the inside out some to fit over the inner barrel diameter. I don't remember what size drill bit I used, but I matched the bit with the orange flash hider inner diameter, then clamped the adapter down and drilled it out. It slid over the barrel and threaded right on, now I can use any flash hider, suppressor, or tracer I want with -14mm threads. This has been done by a few others I have seen, so I am not taking any credit for the adapter as I've got the idea from someone else.

How do you take off the lug exactly. It seems to be just stock on the barrel.
