What is the purpose of the flash suppressor on the M-4 Carbine?
A flash suppressor is intended to dissipate muzzle flash so as not to hamper the firer's vision in low light conditions. Sometimes, a muzzle brake is mistaken for a flash suppressor. A muzzle brake vents gases from the barrel in a direction intended to counter the recoil of the weapon, thus making it more controllable. However, a flash suppressor does not function as a muzzle brake, nor does a muzzle brake function as a flash suppressor.
What is the function of suppressur?
Well, a suppressor... suppresses. A flash suppressor reduced muzzle flash. A sound suppressor reduced noise emissions (although nothing like how they're portrayed in the movies).

You have a model 39 serial No S7758 with quick change threads at the muzzle could this be for a silencer?
Answer Guns made prior to the passage of the National Firearms Act of 1934 were often made with muzzle threads for the attachment of a sound suppressor. I have an early Colt Woodsman threaded for the Maxim suppressor which was the most popular sound suppressor of that time period. Winchester Models 1890 and 1906 are occasionally found threaded for suppressors as well. Possessing a firearm threaded for a suppressor is perfectly legal. Owning an actual suppressor is legal in many states provided all National Firearms Act regulations are followed.
What kinds of suppressors are available for pistols?
All suppressors reduce muzzle report and most reduce muzzle flash. Though brands vary, all accomplish the same basic task. Make sure to check size compatibility before purchasing a suppressor. Several US jurisdictions have outlawed the civilian possession of suppressors, as such, check local and state regulations before purchasing a suppressor.
Can you have a sound moderator and a muzzle brake on the same rifle?
Not very likely. Muzzle brakes work by venting gases, whereas sound suppressors work in part by preventing the escape of these gases. Some flash suppressors are designed to facilitate the attachment of a sound suppressor, such as the Smith Vortex and AAC Blackout, but not muzzle brakes.
Why do AR-15's have flash suppresors?
The flash suppressor on an AR-15 is intended to reduce the visible signature of hot gases exiting the muzzle, so that the shooter will not be blinded. Additionally, the A2-style flash suppressors also act as a muzzle brake, counteracting the effects of recoil.

How do you build a suppressor for a 22 rifle?
Basically by creating a series of baffles around the muzzle of the rifle. It is fairly easy to make, but adds a great deal of bulk to the weapon. And note that it is illegal to have such devices in many parts of the world. <><><> In the US, possession of an unregistered forearms silencer carries a penalty of 10 yrs in a Federal prison (no parole) and a fine of $10,000. If you want a legal silencer, you need to find a dealer with the license to sell them, who can guide you through the process.
