Why do you want to compete with a flash hider?
To me it's extra weight that serves no purpose.

Thanks for the replies and PMs folks; really appreciate it.
I'll be emailing the match director prior to the match to get guidance.
Regarding why I want to shoot with it, it's primarily because I shoot this rifle with a suppressor almost exclusively, and this flash hider serves as the suppressor mount. All of my load dev will have been done with a suppressor mount of some kind, so I'd like to roll into the match knowing what my rifle is doing etc.
It's my first "legitimate" rifle that was built by a smith for informal long range steel shooting; from a competition rules perspective, it's definitely more PRS oriented, but I'm not really interested in shooting PRS. I'm having a .223 rifle built up to be more rules compliant so I can run that in F-TR without any drama, but that's probably 2-3 months from completion, and I'd like to get competing now while the weather is good.
Edit: Just so we're clear, I have no delusions about winning this match, or even placing in the top 3. This is only a ~16lb rifle, I'll be shooting it from an Atlas bi-pod. This is more about learning the ropes, and learning more about what to get for the planned dedicated F-Open rifle I'll be building in April.
