All that aside, still a cool piece :nod:

In General a shorter barrel means more muzzle flash.I had 6" cut of one of my Rem 700s in .308Win (From 26" to 20") and there is quite a bit of muzzle flash now.
Under loading (reducing powder charges) can be as dangerous as loading over the advised Maximum loads published in the manuals.
To eliminate flash, you would have to try different flash suppressors, different ammo, or different powders if you are a reloader.Some powders ahve more "flash" then others.Most Military powders have a flash retarder mixed in the powder.
The best flash suppressor at this time is the Smith Enterprises Vortex Flash suppressor.It virtually eliminates all of the flash.I have used one on my 11.5/10.5" AR15s for years and I can atest that they do work. :-D
