Details:

The Smith Enterprise Vortex Flash Eliminator has proven itself to be the most effective flash hider for the AR-15 platform.

This Vortex flash hider is machined from 8620 steel and finished off with a heat-treating process to prepare it for the rigors of duty, competition, or high-volume recreational shooting. The helical flutes work to dissipate muzzle flash from a variety of points and angles. The result is a virtually non-existent muzzle flash. Its helix design also helps align escaping barrel gas to increase accuracy with all bullet types.

No crush washer is used during installation due to the increase in visible flash that this would cause. Instead, a self-tightening design is utilized to make sure the device does not come loose even with constant firing. The grooves on the outside surface minimize contact points for fouling, which saves you a great deal of time on clean-up. The Vortex flash hider can even be used in combination with Smith Enterprise's quick-connect M4DC CQB suppressors.

    I've been mostly a fan of brakes, but I decided I was tired of the blast and wanted to go for a flash hider. Switching from the A2 birdcage to the G4A6 was a nice change. Oddly the device seems to give a small reduction to recoil along with entirely eliminating all flash. Being able to screw the flash hider straight on without needing washers is also a joy. If I could afford it, I'd switch all my rifles over to the G4A6.

    Went from disorienting flash to almost nothing. Shot Federal, PPU, Amer. Eagle and milsurp ammo with no problems. At worst, there is a (very) small cone flash out the front. Have one on a 10.5 inch pistol and Colt carbine.

  • Absolute must for flash suppression!!!

    Most likely the best flash hider on the market. if your shooting in low or no light conditions these work!
