Details:
The KAK Industry M240V Flash Hider draws its inspiration from the iconic M240 machine gun, bringing that distinctive, military-influenced profile to AR-pattern rifles. While the visual appeal is immediate, the design also serves a functional purpose. Its open, multi-prong configuration is engineered to disrupt and disperse burning gases at the muzzle, helping to reduce visible flash—particularly in low-light conditions where signature matters most.
Open-Prong Flash Suppression
Flash hiders function by breaking up and dispersing the gas plume before it ignites into a bright fireball. The M240V Flash Hider uses a vented, open-end layout that allows gases to expand and dissipate quickly, reducing visible flash without adding unnecessary bulk. It’s a straightforward, time-tested approach focused on flash suppression rather than recoil reduction.
Pre-Drilled for Pin and Weld Applications
For builders working with shorter barrels, the M240V offers a practical advantage: it is pre-drilled for pin-and-weld. When installed on a 13.7-inch barrel, it will bring the rifle to over 16 inches in overall length, helping meet legal requirements for non-NFA rifle configurations when properly pinned and welded. This makes it an appealing choice for shooters who want a compact build while maintaining compliance.
Multi-Caliber Compatibility
Unlike many flash hiders limited to specific calibers, the M240V is designed to accommodate calibers up to 9mm, depending on the selected thread pattern. That flexibility makes it suitable for 5.56 and .308 carbines, .300 Blackout builds, and certain 9mm setups where thread compatibility aligns. It allows builders to maintain a consistent front-end look across multiple rifles.
If you’re looking for a flash hider that combines classic machine gun aesthetics, dependable flash suppression, and pin-and-weld versatility for 13.7-inch builds, the KAK M240V Flash Hider delivers a strong visual statement backed by straightforward, functional design.
